fascism is stopped when enough people say one of two things:
1) "nah, I'm not doing that"
2) "nah, you're not doing that"

a lot of people want to imagine how they'll say the second thing, but you should *really* start practicing the first one

the actual best thing you can do for your mental health the next 4 years is make it a point to not wake up everyday and google the president to see what shit he did while you were asleep. Stay engaged, stay aware stay alert but don't do this, it will not only not help it'll make you feel worse daily

Texas: There is still time to request a ballot by mail application. To request an application be mailed to your house, fill in the form here: bbm.sos.state.tx.us/bbm.asp

Once you receive the form, fill it out and return the form to your COUNTY ELECTION OFFICE, not the SoS.

Anybody know what kind of caterpillar this is? Seen in Mexico City. My Texas says it’s a Longhorn fan 🤘

Look, Hillary was 800,000 votes away from DT in Texas. I don’t know about financing campaigns but it seems to me that campaigning in my home state could actually matter. Also the Electoral College is horseshit.

Can’t keep the lights on, can’t keep kids from getting massacred in school, can’t run a normal election and just let people fucking vote. Thirty-plus unbroken years of Republican rule and it’s going super, thanks for asking.

CLASSIFYING ABORTION AS A 14TH AMENDMENT ISSUE IS NOT "TEMPERING" LANGUAGE ON ABORTION, IT IS EXPLICITLY IDENTIFYING FETAL PERSONHOOD AS A PARTY GOAL

THAT'S WHY THE GOP AGREED TO IT

THEY LIKE IT

IT DOES WHAT THEY WANT IT TO DO: ALLOW THE PROSECUTION OF ABORTION AS HOMICIDE
Trump-backed Republican platform tempers language on abortion
The Republican Party released its platform on Monday that denies anti-abortion activists within the party the far-reaching language they sought on abortion and embraces the views of its presidential candidate, Donald Trump.

I’m so pleased that 2 of my box #poems appear in the latest Wild Roof Journal. I wrote them 4 years ago when many of us were still staying home in #cdmx. Thank you for reading! Wildroofournal.com

Does anyone have a direct contact to Ingram publishing or someone involved with managing the remaining stock?

I work at a used bookstore. Please share this widely my boss is interested in talking with someone about the unclaimed stock.

Makes me think about the giant letters at work that say, “You came here to be happy. Don’t lose focus.”
