This is it, election day 2024 is here!

24 states and DC allow same day voter registration--if you haven't registered or voted yet, you may still be able to do your civic duty and help stave off fascism.

Teen Vogue and other "frivolous" outlets have been doing more serious journalism than the New York Time and other "serious" legacy outlets, for years; exhibit who -can-keep-track-anymore:

"Kamala Harris Is Not Our Savior. But a Donald Trump Win Would Be Catastrophic."

Heads up, New Yorkers! Flip your ballot: there are six ballot questions you need to answer: one amends the state's Constitution, the others affect New York City's charter.

Here's your guide:

Remember: If you are turned away at the polls, your verbatim response is: "Give me a provisional ballot with a receipt as required by law."

Tell those around you in line to vote.

Also, if the polls close and you're in line, DO NOT LEAVE.

Polling stations are required to allow all voters in line at closing to vote.

Stand your ground and get your vote in. This is the law of the land across all jurisdictions.

DO NOT GET OUT OF LINE

There is a problem with signatures of younger Nevada voters.

If you can, sign up to help cure ballots in the state:

If you know any young people in Nevada: please tell them to answer their phones!

Democrats are frantically trying to reach voters whose ballots are being dismissed by the GOP--this is urgent!

#PSA: remember never to sign up for a new Patreon through the Apple app store--starting November 1, 2024, Apple will take a bite out of every Patreon subscription done through their app store.

Go to the website using a browser, so that more money goes to the person you are supporting (Patreon is already taking a large bite of that pie as it is)

#PSA: if you have a small business that ships items, consider not using Uline: the owner uses the company's profits to fund right wing anti-democratic causes.

And, because you still need to ship your product, here's a good resource to replace them:

"The For-Profit City That Might Come Crashing Down
The dream of Próspera, founded by a U.S. corporation off the coast of Honduras, was to escape government control. The Honduran government wants it gone."

Every time an author states that borrowing from a library "steals" sales from them, I want to scream.

Publishers have indoctrinated authors against libraries, to authors' own detriment. Libraries buy your book, and if it gets popular, they buy more copies--but more, they introduce readers to your work, and those readers will spread the word, even if they don't buy your books themselves.

#Libraries are unpaid marketing. Be thankful.

Your regular reminder: if you are medically able, please become a regular blood donor.

An hour of your time every couple of months can literally save multiple lives.

@e_urq One wonders if these very Christian Christians have ever heard of Mary Magdalen, let alone about how Jesus Christ felt about her and the respect due her by everyone.

#Fireworks rant:

People around here have been setting off fireworks on and off since last Friday, but tonight they're getting serious about it. Going by past years, it's going to be increasingly noisy until increasingly later until sometime on January 1st, then a day or two of assholes burning 'leftover' fireworks.

Neither of my cats is amused, stress-shedding by the bag as they are, and neither am I.

And that's without counting the possibility of injury or fire.

Please note: if you are white and not apathetic or passive, this is not about you. Thanks

Almost 38 years ago, Carl Sagan warned the U.S government and the world about the effect of climate change.

The only one at the hearing that day who seemed to pay any attention was Al Gore.
