for the first time i realized i cant really [politely] ask people at work about voting. in previous jobs/election cycles its a no brainer… running around the office ‘where’s your sticker? did ya vote?’. regardless of affiliation, people should vote…

but theres a palpable embarrassment this year. no one speaks of politics here anymore. i sure as fuck am not going to burst that echo-bubble by askin if they voted.

i just cant really do that in my current location. very strange.

    what we are really advocating for is the right to self-determination and ability to make our health decisions free from government interference

    It’s amazing how much overlap there is between transgender rights and womens’ rights. The right is so obsessed with trans women that they’d make taking a piss in a public restroom into a witch hunt.

    Just to name an example, the SAVE act was supposed to combat “voter fraud” by putting up barriers to vote for transgender people. The same barriers also sat in front of married women who had changed their legal name.
