#democracy sausage

[coolasakuhncumber]

Overheard in the voting line (while eating a democracy sausage w/ hashbrown + tomato sauce)

'I love democracy, it's a real privilege to vote.'

Sydney has dozens and dozens of Democracy Sausages. There's 13 in my region, and 10 of them are almost an hour away.

An important resource for everyone on their way to vote yes today.

Doing your democratic duty never tasted so good

[cutepoop]

All of that sounds great, and I wish it was like that in the U.S., but honestly, the thing I'm those most upset about is the fact that we don't get democracy sausage. I feel let down by the system.

Happy local government election day, fellow QLDers! If you're also like me and refuse to go to the polls on actual polling day to avoid crowds, you can always get yourself a Sausage Sizzle Frog sticker to commemorate your participation in democracy 🌭

you can get one here!

i just can’t believe out of all the countries on earth - america was NOT the one to cultivate an honoured nation wide tradition of getting a barbecued ‘democracy sausage’ sandwich to celebrate when you cast your vote

Oh what's that? Just me threatening to be overcome by emotion at every YES poster, pin and shirt I see.

Writing those three letters felt momentous. I was so excited at the election party last year when it was clear Labor won I turned to my colleague and the first thing I said was 'We're going to a referendum!'

I didn't think it would be this hard, this divisive, this full of hate for something that will do nothing to those it doesn't impact and so much for our First Nations people. It's a simple act of love, this saying yes thing.

It's not about the sausage but democracy is better with traditional snacks.

'Twas the night before election, and there was quite the frustration.

As adults were googling the nearest democracy sausage location.

They looked up their ward, and checked the closest school hall.

Only to discover instead of a sanga, it had a bloody cake stall.

Chase still holds full australian citizenship, right? At least once in the series he should be absent. Why? Federal election, voting at the Australian embassy. There's no australian embassy in New Jersey, so he'll have to take at least a day minimum to head to an embassy and vote.

Requesting MY favourite teas now! Ginger, Chamomile & Chai

For Kytharia <3 (and/or any of them for Ghilara…if you wanna talk about her!)

Tea themed oc asks here!

Ginger: What always brightens your OC’s day?

Kytharia is 100% the sort of person who would love tagging along with their friends when they have chores to do. Lucanis needs to go to the grocery store?! Sweet I'll go get that thing you needed but missed two aisles back! Bellara needs to go pick up stuff to fix an artefact she's working on?! Hell yeah I'll ask her a bunch of questions and help her find the stuff she needs. (They'll also be there as badass looking backup for Bellara when the bunnings staff profile the two femmes, ala Ron Swanson: she knows more than you). She will also make sure they get the thedas equivalent of a bunnings snag.

Chamomile: What does your OC do to relax?

Kytharia sketches and journals! She's still trying to figure out who she is now that she's no longer enslaved, but sketching and journaling is good because its stuff that has happened to her and she doesn't need to show anybody.

Chai: What is your OC’s comfort food/drink?

Hot choccy and a chocolate digestive :3 Kytharia has such a massive sweet tooth, so its just as well their boyfriend baristas and bakes :)

Let's not screw this up, eh?

[newtonsheffield]

Not me rocking up to vote in the local election and finding out the mayor of my town (whose name I didn’t previously know) is running unopposed. So I’ve literally shown up to get my name ticked off a piece of paper.

No one wants to be the mayor of this place. I’m screaming 😂😂😂
