i think i would shrimply be immune to whatever eldritch madness the characters in cosmic horror stories succumbing to solely on account of the fact that im kind of a dumbass and tend to either ignore most of the occurrances in my daily life or actively acknowledge and immediate move on to avoid dwelling on anything

Remember to vote down-ballot

If you live in the United States, you haven't been able to escape hearing about the presidential contest between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris.

But don't forget that there are other races on your ballot too. Research them before you go to the polls and decide how you are going to vote. You can find out who is running in your area on a local government website or at Ballotpedia.

Everywhere in the United States, you can vote on who to send to the House of Representatives.

In two thirds of the states, you can vote for a Senator.

In some states, various state and local officials are on the ballot. (In other states these contests are held in non-presidential years.)

Some states are holding referendums. You can vote for or against an amendment to your state's constitution, or for or against a law that the legislature has sent to an election.

In some localities you can vote on a bond issue that would authorize a local government to levy taxes for a special project.

If it's too much to remember, you can bring notes with you into the voting booth about who and what you want to vote for.

Some of you are not planning to vote because you hate both Harris and Trump. But you might find the other races to be meaningful to you. Get out and vote even if you leave the top of the ballot blank.

[violetkatgrove]

Vote Harris.

mahmoud at @freepaleatine95 has asked me to make a post spotlighting their campaign, so i will!

mahmoud, like countless other palestinians, has lived through oppression for much longer than last october. after that event happened, he lost his house, which he worked very hard to buy. missiles destroyed his business where he sold shoes.

their pets have been lost. their family has lost his older brother, as well. his parents need urgent medical care. please consider donating to help mahmoud and his family.

gofund me is here, please donate if you can.

here are pictures of him before the war, his business he used to run, and his pet cats. we can never replace what's been lost, but we can help to restore the livelihoods of palestinians.

Twitch is gonna start kinda censoring queer people and it would be really helpful if you could read the next few sentences and then also go to a link and click the word vote.

They're implementing a new rule where if you discuss "sensitive social issues" at all you have to flag your streams as such, these issues include things like war and political unrest but also any lgbtq topics (once again our existence is political).

Essentially a streamer will have to choose between never ever mentioning anything queer (or even just discussing their own life if they're queer themselves) or flagging every stream with "sensitive social issues" and scaring away 90% of viewers.

If you have a twitch account you can go here and log in and click vote. They do listen. Please vote.

Okay hi. My partner is struggling badly. General posts aren't helping, so we set up a GoFundMe as a sort of easier way to get the money needed with a more clear goal and progression.

$6600 USD will cover them for 6-8 months in total. Their currency is CAD, everything is done under my name and stuff but the money is for them and solely them. There's more information under the cut, but THIS IS THE LINK FOR THE GFM

Please, I just want them housed during canadian winter while they still search for a job.

They have been out of work for a few months following near constant workplace abuse and abuse outside of work for over a year making things harder for them to just function, much less work. Their parents "borrowed" $3k over a year ago (I think closer to 2 years now) and they haven't gotten any of that back.

And the biggest issue was their ex. Their ex drained their funds over the course of a few years - all their savings and a huge chunk of each check for years. And then offered no help back as their disability worsened.

This has resulted in a lot of debt and barely being able to pay bills.

Please, if you have the funds to spare, winters are very cold there (-40°c / -40°f and lower, which you can imagine is bad for joints for anyone, much less a disabled person) and I really don't want them unhoused.

today, I want everyone who has any kind of GI troubles to take a moment to think of Hala's adorable young son Abdul-Aziz. shortly after he was born, Abdul-Aziz was diagnosed with hirschsprung's disease. hirschsprung's disease is a congenital disorder in which the nerves in the large intestine do not form properly. This means that the colon cannot move, and Abdul-Aziz cannot pass his waste. This caused an intestinal blockage and severe swelling in his abdomen.

hearing Hala's story, I recognized the son of a family friend, who also has hirschsprung's disease. because he was able to get treatment early, he is a happy third grade boy who loves playing with toy airplanes and legos, and sings in his school choir. i wish the same happiness for Abdul-Aziz.

Abdul-Aziz is not even a year old, but he has had multiple surgeries on his bowels. Hala is raising funds for her son to get two more surgeries, to remove the affected part of his colon so that he does not have any more blockages. Here are some pictures of this precious baby boy.

i know that many of us do not have much extra cash, but please, donate what you can to Hala's gofundme for her son. You can find her blog @hala-15, where she has posted photos of Abdul-Aziz's medical records in both english and arabic. Her story has been further verified by @90-ghost

Her gofundme is linked here. IT IS LESS THAN 1% FUNDED. clearly this is not acceptable. please, if you support people with chronic illnesses or suffer from chronic GI illness yourself, spare whatever you can for Abdul Aziz

Meet Anas and Ahmad, they are related to Osama Basil, who has his own gofundme.
