I am so fucking proud of both my birth state (NY) and my current state (VA) right now.

I think a thing we'll learn tonight is that people fucking hate what is going on and they will straight ticket vote against anyone involved in starving people while pillaging the country and kidnapping their neighbors. I don't think it matters at all who that person is.

Me in November ‘24: THAT’S IT, I’LL VOTE BUT I’M NEVER CARING ABOUT AN ELECTION EVER AGAIN. FUCK EVERYTHING.

I voted a couple of weeks ago. Virginians, if you haven't voted yet, please get out and do it today.
Virginia, there are only 9 hours left to make your voice heard. Polls close at 7pm — VOTE!

Thanks so much, Gabino (and happy Hallowe'en!).

I'd love a share of this post about my queer horror comedy (smalltown influencer horror with spooky woods, cryptids, and a fuckton of queerness!).

It's still October!

Why not try a queer horror comedy that doesn't skimp on any of the three?

A cryptid-hunting skeptic follows a (fake?) video of his presumed-dead mom to a former conversion camp on an isolated island, all while fleeing the "straight" co-host he drunkenly made out with.

Early voting locations in the VA governor race expanded today. I voted a straight blue ticket. (I don’t give two shits about Jones’s texts.) Nice steady clip of people going in and out of the precinct. www.elections.virginia.gov/casting-a-ba...
