You can encourage people to become more civically involved without downplaying the importance of voting.

Voting is just one part of it... but it is an important part.

So is being active in your community and speaking up for the causes that you believe in.

Both matter greatly.

Many years from now…

Timmy: Dad, why did we go to war with Iran?

Dad: well, son, people found out the president liked little girls too much…and not in a good way…

Guarantee the men in the epstein files are still actively abusing children. What makes you think they've stopped? Why would they?

Love to wake up and immediately be fucking furious

What are you using for a response reader? I haven't found one i liked since bloglines got destroyed by Google.

He didn't even consider the $50 tattoos. *sigh*

My husband just sped past the place that has baby goats AND paintings by goats. He didn't even slow for the place that sold bees by the pound. I swear, this man has no idea how to shop...

Hard to stay focused on clamming when it all looks so majestic...

Listen to Rep. Teresa Leger Fernández. Republicans wrote the SAVE America Act to block citizens from registering and to purge voters before the midterms.
MAGA cannot win with more people voting, so they are trying to lock the doors.

Waivers, I'm assuming. Bummer. I liked Karts.

Those? Those are my emotional support unread emails.

cover of "The Library Book" -multiple authors.

"The Library Book" -multiple authors. #booksky #70 ⭐⭐/5

Uneven, as anthologies often are. Includes several memoirs, historic analysis, and a few pieces of fiction. Very UK-centered. Confess that I skimmed some of these, which is why I'm marking it down a bit. I LOVE libraries, though.

book cover of "Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America" -Barbara McQuade

"Attack from Within: How Disinformation Is Sabotaging America" -Barbara McQuade #booksky #69 ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

A thorough examination of disinformation and how it's used (primarily) as a tool of the right to tear down public discourse, sow division, and increase violence. Icludes solid suggestions to fight it

book cover of "Not for the Faint of Heart: Lessons in Courage, Power, and Persistence" -Wendy R. Sherman

"Not for the Faint of Heart: Lessons in Courage, Power, and Persistence" -Wendy R. Sherman #booksky #68 ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Includes the backstory of how hard fought the JCPOA agreement was (the Iranian Nuclear Deal the Trump just threw away), and what it took for her to make it at the state department.

Wow.

I've had parental bombs over the years including that my screw up sister was the favorite and that they once left me behind when taking shelter during a tornado. I've since put a lot of distance between me and these ppl.
