Oh look, it seems like there's a Republican-led movement to purge voter rolls in the lead-up to the election! It's almost as if your vote matters and they don't want you to vote! Anyway, I whipped up a quick map (based on this) that shows when the voter registration deadline is in each state. There are a few deadlines coming up in the next week or so.

If you live in a state that regularly purges voter rolls for infrequent voters (the orange ones in the first map), or if you moved recently, it's good to check if you're still registered to vote.

Vote.org makes it super easy to check your registration: https://www.vote.org/am-i-registered-to-vote/

Just put in your address and DOB and they'll tell you whether you're registered. (And they give you a quick link to register online if it turns out that you're not! Only the 9 states in white on my map don't have online registration, and for those they provide instructions on how to do it via mail or in person.) If you want an extra verification, find your state's election website and double-check there.

So yeah, give yourself peace of mind -- do a quick check. :)

I remember when I first started using tumblr; I fell in love with a single creator on here, or their blog, because they posted Harry Potter insider information that I didn't see anywhere else. For about 4 months, all I did was follow that one blog, and I patiently waited every day for them to put new content on my dash, which gave me a lot of joy. I then slowly discovered that they were not the only one; there were OTHER Harry Potter blogs, and they posted edits, screenshots, fan-theories, fanarts, fanfics, art, gifs, stories, fandom lore, conspiracy theories, I was absolutely delighted with this! I wasn't confident enough to make posts myself, but following all these people and sharing their posts and getting excited for events and website openings felt like being a part of the community. It was right when Pottermore was about to open and we were all signing up as beta testers.

And after that came Doctor Who, then Supernatural, then Sherlock, and slowly I was drawn in to more fun and childish media by the power of fandom excitement and tumblr gifs alone. I watched Glee because tumblr blogs kept posting gifs of it, I played games that people recommended. It was infectious, and everyone was posting rainbows and gay-positive edits at every corner, I felt safe here, even though I didn't even know I was a lesbian back then.

I think falling in love with one single tumblr creator is all it takes to come here and stick around. Tumblr hasn't lost all of it's excitement, we just got more jaded because we're been baited and accused of being cringy a lot, and a lot of homophobes have joined since, but we still have that infectious fandom energy whenever something big happens. That's what kept me around for 12 years. Features that enable us to follow users and enjoy their content are already here and functional. All we want to do is enjoy and support creators. The dashboard that displays their content as they make it, and enables us to interact and support them is all we need.

This drawing is the singular reason I have failed inktober. HOW could I concentrate on anything but this?? She has consumed me I fear

(Yes her sword is a leek version of Virtuous Contract. YES she is standing on a pile of leeks. YES I felt the leeks were too important to only mention in the tags.)
