reminding all of my american followers to vote today!
local elections are just as important as presidential ones, and they’re going to be key in mitigating all this damage
also it’s not a test. they let you google names in the poll booth.
you see this was a common sentiment when it was kamala vs trump
yes, almost all politicians are shitty. but believe me when i say that on your local ballot today, there will be one guy who you’d MUCH rather be mayor than the other
Something they never tell you about being an adult is the power of just being The Person Who Reliably Shows Up. Even if you don’t think you have much to bring to the table except being kind to people, wanting to learn, and contributing when you can. Many of the good things that have happened to me and many of the connections I’ve made have been because I just kept showing up and people were like, whelp, I guess we can’t get rid of your ass and now you’re a load bearing part of the community
