“sat out” You mean young people who work shit jobs with shit hours and shit benefits couldn’t get out of work to go vote in the same numbers as the retired crowd? 6 hours to vote at colleges in Texas yesterday in the middle of midterms yeah shocking…
1) check your registration.
2) check your polling place.
3) your job must allow you time off to vote.
4) if the only time you can vote is during a class, talk to the teacher in advance. I was marked present for a class I didn’t attend when Obama was running for the first time, on the condition that I take a friend with me to the polls (I took two).
5) take a friend. Take two friends. Take THREE friends. If you have a car, offer to take anyone who needs to vote.
6) MAKE SURE YOU HAVE YOUR ID. This is necessary. Your voter registration card is best, but be sure your state doesn’t also require photo ID. You can find this on Google by searching “[your state] voting requirements”.
7) the earlier you go, the better. For Obama 2012 I got my ass up at 6:30am and I was in line at 7:30. I was done and back out the door by 7:55, and the only reason it took that long was an old lady a few people in front of me took a spill.
8) DO NOT WEAR OR CARRY ANY CAMPAIGN SWAG OR MERCH, NOT EVEN JOKE MERCH LIKE “BENDER FOR PRESIDENT” OR “MAKE RACISTS AFRAID AGAIN.” You will be turned away at the polls for campaigning at a polling place. Leave it at home or in your car.
9) Your polling place must make accommodations for disabilities and language barrier—it’s the law. (Yes, your really old great-aunt who can’t read can vote. Help her learn about the candidates and take her to the polls.) If you are a citizen or legal permanent resident, you can vote.
EN ESPAÑOL: su lugar de votación debe Ud. asiste si necesita ayuda con invalideces o lengua; es la ley. (Sí, su familia que no pueden leer se pueden votar. Se asisten con la información de votar, y se tomarlos a votar.) Si está una residente permanente, o un ciudadano de Los EEUU, puede votar. ¡En español tambien!
10) Double-check all sources—yes, including this one. The information I’m giving you is as someone who’s been able to vote for 14 years and has been volunteering for 16–half my life. But while I know you can trust me, you don’t know me. CHECK. SOURCES. Every time you don’t, a kitten cries. Be nice to the kittens. Check your sources.
My mind still trying to fathom how Mai and Aang get along
You know when you’re writing something and then you get to these two characters that are very different, but have no reason for conflict and one is very friendly… They almost always end up in some sort of odd friendship, so this didn’t surprise me, weirdly as it may seem. XD
It seems to me that Mai dislikes boredom and insincerity, and Aang is very sincere and fun
I feel like Aang is one of the few people who can get Mai to laugh (and it pisses Sokka off immensely)
absolutely valid. I mean, look, mai is smiling. maybe mai gets aang to help babysit her little brother
the best trope is when the hero breaks through a wall or something to get to the villain whos just like “what the FUCK dude i have a DOOR”
second place is when its like a regular 9-5 and during their off hours they go get ice cream together or something as if they werent trying to kill each other 3 hours ago
they were what i was thinking of writing this post
The funniest part of this is in Milo Murphy’s Law, Dr. D is legitimately shocked and hurt to learn that Perry was getting paid to “hang out” with him. He thought they were just pals bein buds he didn’t realize that this is Perry’s actual job
the platypus was getting paid but carl was getting experience???? im with heinz, major monogram is the bad guy
I think it’s important to note that when they were making up after this, Perry showed Heinz that he’d invested his entire pay in Heinz’s newest endeavour because he had faith in what Heinz was trying to do
also its canon that perry isnt actually paid to stop doof, hes paid to steal the designs for doofs inventions via camera in his hat so that major monogram can replicate them without having to pay doof
Sight is a bullshit power and I’m starting to think it’s isn’t even real.
I’ve been obsessed with that one post where people speculated “What if sight was really uncommon in the universe so other aliens treat humans ability to see like it’s some magical power that doesn’t work half the time for stupid reasons?”
I imagine the alien “see” with echolocation, so they don’t bump into things but their range is very limited.
