Holy fuck… ya know I really do hate living in my state at times (especially now)

Why did they re-elect him??? Just why?!

There is definitely something different happening here in Indiana! I just rolled back into town and stopped by my local post office to pick up held mail as well as 200 postcards stamps that I will post about later. I forgot I was wearing my vote gear when a woman in line noticed and asked me where she could go vote early. Before I could even answer two other women started helping her figure out where her closest location was. Then the woman behind me, who mentioned she graduated high school in 1968, said she really likes how Taylor Swift is getting out the vote in a non-partisan fashion. I have never felt so validated in my life. Keeping hope alive for the Hoosier State.

Also, the Democratic Governors Association has just given our candidate another $500k in her race against Mike Braun and his Christian white nationalist running mate. I’m writing at least 200 postcards for a local State Senate candidate in the district just north of me and have signed up to do phone banking for the Governor, US Senate, and Attorney General candidates as much as I can until election day. All of my candidates are women, it’s about fucking time!

Fellow Kentuckians, remember tomorrow is an early voting day. Especially you young whippersnappers need to get out and vote.

"Action movie star and former Republican California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger threw his support on Wednesday behind Democratic candidate Kamala Harris for U.S. president, saying "I will always be an American before I am a Republican."

The "Terminator" star said he was offended by Republicans who refused to concede that Donald Trump lost the 2020 election and the Republican nominee's remark that America was "like a garbage can for the rest of the world.""

Your reminder that if Harris and Walz win, Minnesota Lt. Governor Peggy Flanagan (White Earth Ojibwe) becomes the first Native American woman governor in U.S. history.

I think the only villain in veilguard that I was actually interested in and dare I say even a little intimidated by was the butcher.. like everything about that scene from the atmosphere to his clam dialogue were very reminiscent of the arishok and like. idk it was a sliver of depth beyond being the mindless killers the antaam were unfortunately portrayed as and maybe if bioware wasn't racist there definitely could've been more substance there . but whatever who cares about anything anymore right

I had the worst dream last night that I had had a daughter at some point in the recent past and of necessity gave her up (I am far from the financial situation for raising a child and I don't even have the support of a partner, so that part is realistic). And I was just so wracked with guilt because I didn't even remember her name or who she was living with now. I felt so inadequate as a human being for not being involved in my child's life. And if I had to guess I had this dream because I was thinking a lot about abortion rights yesterday and how frankly they alone should be enough of a reason to go out and vote against Republicans. Like if you can't take a stand against people who are pro-forced birth, I don't wanna hear any excuse about it at all. It's some out-of-touch nonsense which reeks or either ignorance or privilege. Because if that were your own trauma-preventing medical procedure being legislated away, would you just let others get away with it being low on their list of priorities? Would you feel like those people still care about you or are your allies? The pro-life camp actively ignores cases where abortion is necessary to save the life of the pregnant person and/or the fetus has no chance of surviving to be born. They also constantly act like you can "just" put your child up for adoption, which to me is a much more terrifying and guilt-inducing idea than terminating a pregnancy. Idk. I just feel like family planning is as essential a human right as any other and yet it's constantly demonized on the right and still somehow trivialized as a "women's issue" from the center and left, from people who don't feel "personally affected"

'We didn’t answer': Florida Governor DeSantis is not taking VP Harris’ calls about the storms because they 'seem political'

Tiny Jester got here in time to help me vote in the primaries. She’s curious about Goodspaceguy. (I will not be voting for Goodspaceguy, but it’ll be a sad day when he no longer shows up on these things.)

I note that she’s pointing to Bob Ferguson, though. Jester is wise.
