#just popping in between work and mock trial to remind everyone not to forget to research the things that will be on their local ballots#espcially judges! research the judges! injusticewatch is a great source if you don't know where to start#i feel like i've talked to a lot of people who've voted early in various states who didn't know about some things that would be on their#ballots. like everyone knows about the presidential candidates but there's a ton of other stuff#and the other stuff is also super important so don't forget to research it too!#i like to use ballotready to save my choices once i've researched everything so i can have one source to look at when i'm in the booth#i was helping my little brother earlier 'cause he's sending in his mail-in and was like there's so much stuff on here#and he didn't know where to start for looking into judges when he was like 'can i just say yes to all of them' and i was like 'no bro'#ok now bedtime for me#ooc#politics cw

I forgot to send on my voting story. Ok so my brother and I both got mail in ballots, and let me tell you how we both forgot to mail it in so we just thought to bring them to our voting location. The lady there kinda yelled at us? She was confused and didn't know how to go about it. And honestly I just took it because we were the idiots who didn't mail in our ballots. We had to rip them up and they just us new ones to fill out in person and submit. Not exciting, but a story for void snippet. đ
Anonymous said: Hi!! I'm so excited for void! I voted today around 30 minutes before the polls closed in my neighborhood because I had to wait for my dad and brother to get home from work since they wanted to go all together hehe. It was a pretty fast process! We just pressed buttons on screens (compared to last election where we had to bubble in everything by hand) plus, I got to keep the stylus that they gave us and it works on phones too! đĽ°đĽ°Â Thank you! I love your writing so much đđđ
Anonymous said:Â I did mine through mail me and my husband did and we went to the post office a little while back and then he took us on a nice little date afterward and we got ice cream! Also I love voidđ keep up the good work
Anonymous said:Â VOTES FOR VOID??? I love democracy and I love VOID! So since May I've (temporarily) moved back home from New York to Indiana RE: covid; I've voted absentee for the both the primaries and presidential election (I'm still in IN rn...blah). I voted early and mailed in my ballot for the presidential election (about 3 weeks ago). Made sure my family was voting (brother mailed it in, mom dropped off a ballot, and dad did early voting) and encourage them to put up a Biden sign in our yard <3
Anonymous said: HI BEE! I ALSO VOTED TODAY! IM 21 SO THIS IS MY FIRST TIME VOTING FOR THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION (my 18th bday didnt make the cutoff since im a december bday) im so happy to have done my part! I made sure to study up on the judges and policies and everything! Luckily the polling place didn't have a line so i was able to get in, get my ballot, and fill it in right away! I even dragged my mom and cousin to come with me. I made a joke on snapchat to encourage my friends to vote too. It was a pic of my "i voted" sticker with a caption saying "omg youre so sexy when you vote aHaha" -đŚ
Anonymous said:Â this is my first time doing this so, so i hope iâm sending this correctly! i voted early in late september by mail! i live in a swing state, so itâs really important for me to vote and not waste time!! bc of my age, this is my first time voting so iâm really nervous đ
Anonymous said:Â I voted by email! I'm overseas so I wasn't sure if my ballot would actually make it through in time, so I decided to go electronically. Had to sign a waiver saying I understand that my vote won't be anonymous but I haven't been given a reason to suspect voter suppression/fraud in my state, so I'm happy I think...!
Anonymous said:Â hi, i voted early on oct 24th. my absentee ballot didn't come in, so i had to travel back home to vote (~3 hour drive). when we got there, there was a ton of people outside the polling place, but no lines, so i was in and out pretty quick. it was my first time voting, so i had all the candidates i was voting for written down on a tiny receipt so i wouldn't forget đ
. my mom was with me, so she voted too. took a pic with my sticker (mask on for extra covid-ness) and went home. drove back the next afternoon!
whippedforkook said: Hi Bee. đ I voted in early October - nearly a month ago! đą Itâs been really weird with all the lead up to the election because it felt like it should have been done once I cast my ballot! A lot of my friends have volunteered to get out the vote: writing postcards to voters, texting, phone banking, working the polls, curing ballots. I didnât volunteer at all this year, but I hope that all of my friendsâ hard work and everyone elseâs is enough. Iâm also hoping and praying that I will be in a better place mentally for 2022 so that I too can volunteer. Our work starts with 2020 not ends. đ Wishing you well. đ
begineuphoria said: I went and voted last Friday as it was our last early voting day. No way was I going to wait until today with the crowds of people in my area that still act as if masks are somehow infringing on their rights. đ It was a rather normal experience for the most part. Other than having to use a coffee stir stick to press the buttons on the machine to vote. In and out within five minutes.
Anonymous said:Â I voted down the street at this pretty park this morning. I got up at 5:30 and it was freezing. Luckily I wore like 30 layers and stood outside for 2 hours. Some nasty orange man supporters were rude but everyone else was pretty nice. A really cute older couple was playing soccer with pine cones and kicked it towards me to play too. Not the worst time tbh.
Anonymous said:Â Did mail-in voting in California! Extremely exhausting and took forever to research all the propositions - they are notoriously tricky in hiding their flaws and one side tends to outrageously outspend the other. But in the end I felt really good about my research and decisions! No need for you to post a snippet for this story - would like to save that to read sometime in the future ;) Thank you so much for doing this!
joonsgotthejuice said: Votes for void??? I am here! I went last Thursday and it was chaotic bc I kept going past the poll place but the line was soooo long so my mom called me and woke me up like "its pouring rain and the line is super short get up I'm gonna pick you up" so thats the story of how I got dressed in 5 minutes and dragged my ass to vote in the rain <3
Anonymous said:Â i voted early on thursday it was cold and rainy but i went in the late afternoon and thankfully the only waiting i did was a few minutes for an elevator i got very lucky and while waiting for the results is awful the relief that came from voting in general was just great
Anonymous said: Wheeew the polls just closed and I finally got to cast my ballot yayyy ( I was the one working the polls from earlier) itâs been a really really long day and we actually had surprisingly good turnout. I saw a woman try to vote for someone else who claimed to be âhelpingâ and I saw a woman who Iâm pretty sure was on some typa something đ Overall though I really Iâm really thankful for people like you who encouraged people to get out and vote. I hope the odds are in our favorâ¤ď¸đ¤đź
chelsea-chee said: Hello Bee! Today surprisingly my elderly father wanted to vote so I brought him out with me. He only cared about voting for Biden, which meant I got to help decide who he should vote for with the rest of the candidates and amendments! Say hello to baby bee for me as well! đ
Anonymous said:Â Okay I gonna got a chance to vote today and the process wasnât that bad actually. I went in just now and it wasnât that busy( thankfully) so no lines. Iâm from Texas and itâs gonna be almost impossible to turn this state blue, but every vote counts! I love that you are getting people to vote and also sharing your experiences as well!
owl-orgy said: Dropped off my mail in ballot at a polling location! I originally wanted to vote early in person because I was worried my signature wouldnât match closely enough but ended up just turning it in and double checked today to make it said âballot accepted and countedâ!
Anonymous said:Â I voted in person this afternoon, better late than never I guess. I was gonna go last week but then I got cramps from hell. There was no one in line in front of me, I think my county early voted because it was packed everyday the last few weeks
Anonymous said:Â I voted early a couple weeks ago. Exciting thing though that did happen was I got both my parents to vote for their first time ever.
Anonymous said:Â I had a mail in vote. So, I filled it out and dropped it in at the ballot box at my library. (I also checked out books for the first time in years, so I had fun!)
bubblyjiminnie said: I literally just finished voting. Lucky for me, the line and wait wasnât very long, and it was a nice enough day that the short amount of time I had to spend in line outside of the building wasnât too bad. My social anxiety when it comes to stuff like this tends to be high but thatâs what I get for waiting until Election Day instead of going the mail in route. This was only my second time voting, but Iâm glad that I did đ
Anonymous said: I turned my ballot in last week :) Iâm not a big fan of crowds and I hate make spur of the moment choices but despite that the first time I was able to vote back in 08 my Mom pressured me into voting in person because âyouâd have to experience it at least once in our lifeâ. And ever since then I comfortably vote by mail. I take my time, do all of my research, listen to music, and best of all donât have to deal with people.
Anonymous said:Â here in Washington state itâs super easy to vote. I dropped my ballot off in mid-October and itâs already been accounted for! Mail in voting and drop box voting is fantastic and provides equal opportunity and access. Sad to see some people in red states misinforming Americans about it! We also have a referendum for implementing mandatory sex ed, including teaching respect, empathy and consent as part of the curriculum so I was happy to vote yes on that too!
unionrox006Â said:Â I voted about 2 weeks ago by doing a mail in ballot. The other eligible to vote members of my household did the same. We chose to vote by absentee ballot because both my mom and I have an autoimmune disorder, so we have to be careful going out in the pandemic. Tbh, the ballot layout was a bit confusing at first as was all the paperwork and required IDs and documents. But my dad explained it to me and we got them filled out and mailed off. Kinda mad I didn't get a sticker for it though
bluetostone said: Love this and so excited for the next chp of void! I early voted a few weeks ago and because I live in a pretty rural county I was in and out of my polling place in a few minutes. No sticker though ����. I live in a swing state so it could go either way in terms of delegates. Just praying everyone is safe tonight as the results roll in...though, won't we not know for sure for a couple of days or weeks?
Anonymous said:Â My mom, sister, and I received our early voting ballots a while ago and I took the longest to fill mine out because it was making me anxious :,( but I did return it before it was due. I checked our ballot statuses and mine and my moms were accepted but my sisterâs said they hadnât received hers back. Then she got another ballot so she filled that one out too and I took it yesterday đđ I think she got two because she changed her address late so they sent two?
vixsynsblog said: Non-interesting voter story: I'm paranoid and live in a highly divided area, so I filed mail-in ASAP, mailed it a few days after cause neighbors are nosy and don't understand boundaries. Was able to track my ballot through my credit company, which was nice. Only thing I was missing was my sticker. Never got oneâđ. So I had to improvise and write it in pen on my disposable mask. I'm working all this week so if riots break out from either side, I'll be at work. Prayers for the safety of othersđ

Waaah!!! Thank you all for voting!! You are all my heroes. I am so grateful and proud of you. Iâm sorry I ran out of time to respond to you individually. Iâm going to drop two big scenes from Chapter 7 in gratitude (one of which will be familiar to my patrons and one wonât). Iâm hopeful I will have the whole next chapter out very soon. Love you all!
Void spoilers below the cut.
When you wake up in the morning, there are still no signed HR forms in your messages. Had you been a fool to think they were interested? How much time does it take to decide such a thing? Perhaps just by putting the idea out there explicitly, it had lost all of its taboo appeal.Â
There is a calendar reminder waiting for you: Today is chili pepper pollinating day. At least this gives you an excuse to talk to Hoseok.Â
You find the science officer in the lab as always, sitting with his knee up against his chest. Hoseok doesnât look well. Heâs got dark circles under his eyes.
âHey, umâŚâ You shuffle your feet. Want to fuck me? No waitâŚâYou donât look good. Were you here all night?â you ask.
He blinks at you, bleary-eyed. âUm, was I? Yeah.. I suppose. Lost track of time.â He rubs his eyes, before looking you up and down, then casting his gaze back to the floor.Â
All you want to do is ask about the forms. Or the meeting. Or what he thinks of you now. But you donât. âI need to pollinate the chili peppers today.â Usually Hoseok is the person who assists with that. âBut I can get one of the other guys to do it if you need the sleep.â
âNo!â Hoseok lurches forward, standing up a bit to rapidly and needing to put his hand back on the bench to steady himself. âI mean, Iâm fine.âÂ
You should disgaree with him. He is exhausted. But youâd like more time to talk to him.Â
Pollinating the chili peppers is both time-sensitive and time-consuming, hence why it took two of you to get the job done. There were no insects on your ship to do the job for you and if they didnât get pollinated, they wouldnât bear any fruit. Your chili peppers were your favorite crop. Not only a vital source of Vitamin C, but all your food benefitted from having a bit of spice added to it.Â
You and Hoseok head for the greenhouse together. The intital set-up gives you something to talk about in the beginning. Hoseok gathers the pollen from one flower onto a paintbrush, then hands it over to you to paint onto the stigmas of each little flower on the next plant in the line.
Slowly the conversation dries up as you fall into a silent rhythm. Other than just enjoying the chili peppers, you must admit that this was one of your favorite tasks on the ship because of the high likelihood that the two of you would brush hands peridically. Always gave you butterflies. But today he seems extra intent on keeping his distance from you. Was he disgusted by you now? His hands are trembling.
âAre you sure youâre okay?âÂ
His hand twitches so hard that a little rain of yellow pollen cascades onto the floor. He curses in frustration before turning to face you. âAre you sure youâre okay?âÂ
âUm, yes, Iâm fine. Why wouldnât I be?â
âThis, um, plan of yoursâŚâ he gestures to the vague tension in the air. âIt doesnât feel like you.â
âIâm trying to save the mission. That has always been my top priority.â
âYeah, Iâm still not clear on how this benefits the mission.â
âYoongi saidâŚâ you start to say, but are cut off my Hoseokâs derisive snort.Â
âLook, if youâre in love with Yoongi, just go date him, okay? Donât feel obligated to include the rest of us out of pity.âÂ
You frown. âIâm not⌠Iâm not in love with him. Itâs just sex. Just biology.âÂ
âThis isnât you!â Hoseok argues back. âYou hated the idea of anyone of us ever treating you that way. And now you just want all of us to⌠to⌠use you like that?â He splutters out the end of the sentence.
âNo one is using me! This is my plan! Iâm in charge!â
He sighs. âWell, I canât be a part of it. Excuse me.â

Taehyung finds you in the gym. Itâs good to see him up and about, even if his arm is still in a sling.Â
âHey, so I need to talk to you about this, um, ape sex thing.â He fishes awkwardly into his pockets and pulls out his tablet. Maybe Jimin was right. Is Taehyung going to be the first to take you up on your offer?
You pause your jog on the elliptical machine. You wish you werenât so sweaty and gross for this conversation. Taehyung is such an intimidatingly attractive man with those strong eyebrows and that perfect skin.Â
Taehyung opens up the tablet and flips to the form. Itâs happening. Heâs going to sign the form. Shit. Then what will you do? Itâs one thing to say you want to have sex with your whole crew, but what if heâs hoping to go right now? You need a shower.Â
Taehyung has really nice hands. Long strong fingers delicately navigating the touch screen. It seems totally improbable that a man this attractive would be into you, even if you were the only woman in the universe. It just adds to your suspicions that hormones are driving everyone crazy. Perhaps if you slept with him once, heâd lose all interest.Â
He finds the form and then turns his gaze up to you, staring you down with those eyes. Itâs a good thing that Taehyung rarely turns his full gaze on you, because it is almost too much to bear. Shit, is he just going to sign it? Is he waiting for you to give him some sort of signal?
âYou canât do this to Jimin,â he says.
âWhat?â Not what you were expecting. âDo what to Jimin?â
âThis.â He gestures over the HR form. âSigning these forms with everyone. Having sex with everyone. Youâre going to destroy Jimin.â
âJiminâs the one who suggested this whole thing in the first place.â Itâs a lie. You know its a lie. Or at least a gross exaggeration. But Jimin was the one who first brought up the idea of sharing. All for the benefit of the man in front of you now.Â
âNo way.â Taehyung scoffs, crossing his arms and raising an eyebrow. âNo way was it Jiminâs idea that you sleep with the whole crew.âÂ
âWellâŚâ You canât bear his gaze anymore and look down at the floor. âHe wanted me to sleep with you.â
That surprises Taehyung. He puts down the tablet. âWhat? Why would he want that?â
This is awkward. âHe, um, thinks youâre in love with me.â
âWhat?â There is only surprise on Taehyungâs face. Itâs actually a relief to see that Taehyung is just as shocked by that idea as you were. âWhy does he think that?â
âI donât knowâŚâ You feel kind of dumb now. Of course, Taehyung doesnât feel that way about you. Look at him. âCause you told him you were jealous. Cause you canât stand to be in the same room as usâŚâ
Taehyung bites his lip. âOh, um, shit, sorry, thatâs not what I meant.â
If Taehyung isnât jealous of Jimin...Â
âTaehyungâŚâ He looks up, biting his lip. âWhat did you mean? Who are you jealous of?âÂ
Taehyungâs eyes widen, but he doesnât say anything. Instead he reaches for his microphone and mutes it. Out of respect, you mute yours as well. He glances toward the camera in the corner of the room, then stands up and begins unzipping his jumpsuit.Â
âUmâŚâ You are distracted by the golden arms that peak from either side of the tank top as the zipper reaches his groin. âWhat are you doing?â
âNeed something to block the camera.â
âWe have towels,â you mutter. But heâs already stripping out of his shirt. The musculature of his back ripples. He hangs the shirt off of the camera to block the rest of the room from view.Â
âYeah, but this way anyone watching will think weâre having sex.â His chest is just as attractive as his back and you flush at the sight of it. Mercifully, he zips back into his jumpsuit as he returns to his position in front of the exercise machine.Â
âYou want them to think weâre having sex?â
âDonât you? It plays right into your whole save the mission with bonobo sex plan.â
âI suppose.â Though the plan was also supposed to be that there would be no more secrets between the crew. âWhat plan of yours does it play into?â
âThe one where Jimin doesnât realize Iâm in love with him.â
âYouâve never tried to tell him?â
Taehyung laughs wryly and shakes his head. âHow would that conversation go? Hey man, I know weâve known each other for years and Iâve already seen you naked and that you just think of me as a friend, but Iâm in love with you. I know thatâs awkward but now you have to spend the next twelve years with me, knowing that Iâm attracted to you when you donât feel the same way.â Taehyung sighs. âDoesnât sound like a good plan to me. If he doesnât feel the same way, Iâve just ruined the friendship for nothing and then I donât even have that.â
âYeah⌠I get that.â Thereâs something touching about realizing that Taehyung has been fighting the same battle as you for the last two years.Â
âI couldnât tell anyone before launch because what if they wouldnât let me go then? You know?â
âYeah, the director wasnât big on sending anyone who might âcomplicateâ the mission.â The two of you share a sad knowing smile.Â
âYeah⌠And I thought it would be fine, you know? I like women too. Iâd just date women until launch and no one would know. I wasnât planning on falling in love with my roommate.â
âI donât think any of us really knew what this would be like.â
âI knew it was going to be a problem. I should have pulled outâŚâÂ
Your mind flashes back to that moment of doubt when Hoseok talked you into still coming on the mission.
âBut I couldnât just let him go off into space without me. Even if heâd never feel the same way, at least heâd still be in my life.â
The emotion in Taehyungâs words makes your eyes begin to mist. âYou really do love him.â
âYeah,â Taehyung sighs again. âBut heâs in love with you.â
âWell, he thinks he is.â
âWhat does that mean?â
âHe only feels like that about me cause he thinks Iâm the only option.â You wonder if maybe he would feel differently if he knew about Taehyungâs feelings.Â
Taehyung frowns and shakes his head. âYou donât give him enough credit.â
âOh come on, you know him. How many women did he date while we were in training?â
âA fewâŚâÂ
âAnd how many of them was he in love with before he found the next one?â Â
Taehyung bites his lip. He canât really argue with that. âSo why are you with him then, if you donât think itâs real?â
You shrug, rubbing your arm. âHe wants me. Itâs nice to feel wanted, I guess.â
âYou know you could have that with any man on this ship right?â
You scoff. âTheyâre all suffering the same delusion. Itâs only-available-vagina syndrome. I just want us all to fuck and get it out in the open. Maybe if we could get it out of our system, they would see Iâm nothing special. And then we can get back to the mission.â
Taehyung eyes you up and down. âYou donât give yourself enough credit either.â
You shrug. âYou wait and see. Jimin will get bored of me. They all will.â
The two of you both slump backwards in your seats, mulling over your shared woes. Taehyung bends down and picks up the tablet again. âSo what should I do with this?â
âObivously, you donât have to sign it. I should have realized that not everyone would be interested.â
âJimin thinks Iâm in love with you?â
âYeahâŚâ
âIs it okay if we let him think that for now? At least until I figure out how to tell him the truth?â
âOkay.â
Taehyung smiles and signs the bottom of the form, then sends it to you. Your phone lights up with a message. âThank you,â he murmurs before he leaves.Â

some friendly twitter guy from milwaukie did some classic IRS style fraud analysis on the election results from various counties, the way it works is you look for the most common final two digits in the voting totals and look for anything suspicious, do you know what the most common final two digits were?
 did you guess 72? did you guess 69? well you were wrong, its 00. which is usually proof of artificial rounding, AKA not truly random intigers as 00 has significance to us being a nice round number, but election results dont give a shit about that. its literally one of the many ways the IRS checks for fraud. we are all in for a maaaaajor shit show if trump isnt inaugurated and even if he is these motherfuckers belong in jail. the odds of 00 being the most common final two digits naturally are abysmally low, just like the odds of biden recieving the most votes of any presidential elect in history despite being unable to get a dozen people to attend his ralliies (covid or no)
 and not to mention the fact that project veritas video taped election officials admitting to selling votes by the thousand and another guy whos voice and identity was obscured (toss this one out of you dont like it) describing being told to back date ballots so they appeared to have been mailed in on november 3rd. this isnt even the tip of the iceberg, there is a ton of evidence of fraud with some of it being slamdunk proof positive and others only strongly suggesting fraud occured. this is not a hanging chad scenario as the president publicly and repeatedly told the american people that the left was attempting to expand mail in voting in an effort to defraud the american public weeks before we saw that happen in real time.
 by the way, donald trump recieved the most votes for a republican president in american history (does not surprise me at all considering boomers are the ones who fucking vote!) and thats why they had to pull these votes out of there ass not only giving biden the election, but making him the most voted for presidential candidate in fucking history, im sure they did not actually want to do this as everyone knows that bidens reception was tepid at best by the american people and the only people who voted for him did so to spite trump. RECORD BREAKING JOE BIDEN!
 regardless of how you feel about trump, if he loses the innaguration their HAS to be war, it is an absolute must. if we allow the presidency to be stolen away from the people so blatantly, it is the literal (not figurative) end of american democrasy, and actual dictatorship. i used to read about shit like 90 percent voter turn out in middle school as a funny anecdote illustrating the corruption of middle eastern dictatorships. i know you aint gonna do shit because orange man bad or whatever, you like marvel movies and stuff i know, i was young too, but you will see some shit soon if trump isnt inaugurated, boomers arent fucking around anymore and for the first time in history we are under a clear constitutional mandate to rebel potentially with the support of a sitting president. i know that you think boomers will revolt when pigs fly, but trust me, for them, covid just hit different, they bought aalllll the rifles and ammo (try to by an AR or AR bullets for under a dollar per) which is no all that unusual but they also stormed the fucking capitol building in my state armed with said ARâs at the beginning of covid. it wont be like BLM, they arent trying to get pussy, and it wont be some long drawn out thing, it will be quick, likely a couple of weeks and certain people just turning up dead. reminder im not taking part, i believe in nonviolence, i just like making predictions.
