-Live in NEVADA or COLORADO & vote at a vote center of your choice
-Live in OREGON or WASHINGTON

It feels like with the world on fire investing in artist and those fostering them is also a great thing to do if you can. If you need recommendations for some great small publishers I'd start with @stanchion.bsky.social and @malarkeybooks.bsky.social and then a million more.
