@mastodonmigration @blogdiva I'm hoping that the energy and excitement that gets us through Tuesday keeps us motivated to do just that.

This was the jam when I was a youth

Men Without Hats - The Safety Dance

@vees You guys are doing [insert name of favorite deity here]'s work. Thank you so much and I'm cheering you on.

@mastodonmigration @CarlG @DemocracyMattersALot Laying the groundwork for 2028

@jalefkowit Who cares about the carrier. What's up with that starship looking thing on the left?

I am finishing up my last batch of letters to go in the mail tomorrow for #VoteForward and now when I go to their site they are asking me to consider phone banking and canvassing and I'm all like

@chris Who are the good guys so I know who to root for?

@Hey_Beth I can’t see how this will attract any new voters since every racist voter is already going to vote for him. So either they’re hoping to motivate low turnout racist voters or there’s no point in trying to figure out what they’re doing because who the f*ck knows?

@jalefkowit Seems like it could be an issue. Would be cool if someone who could do something about it actually did something about it.

If there are any #Zillow watchers out there here’s the most expensive house listed in Galesburg, Illinois right now. In another market this might be a good deal but here it’s kind of ridiculous. Nice house though. I know they put a lot of money into fixing it up.

There are five more days left to write and mail letters to prospective voters with #VoteForward if anyone is still interested.

Personally I find it very rewarding and a great way to help ease my stress as we get closer to November 5.

Vote Forward

Vote Forward volunteers send heartfelt handwritten letters to unregistered and low-propensity voters encouraging them to participate in our democracy. The letters have been shown to significantly boost voter turnout.

Worldcoin, the crypto project from Sam Altman with the globes that scan your eyeballs and collect all your personal information, has several new job openings for privacy lawyers.

I gotta say, having my dad—previously a lifelong Republican—voting for Kamala Harris and sending me stuff like this now is so great

Good job MAGA, good job.

Does anyone have any recommendations for coffee that tastes like Starbucks but doesn't have the anti-labor baggage that goes along with it?

I tried Death Wish and its not bad. I might stick with that if there are no better alternatives.

And if you've got opinions about whether you think Starbucks tastes good feel free to post those elsewhere because that's not what I'm asking for and I don't care. :blobcatcoffee:

@molly0xfff I’ve found that writing these letters has been incredibly rewarding from a psychological perspective, and hopefully it will be just as rewarding when the votes are counted. So much better than doomscrolling about the election. Very happy to see that you’re doing it as well. Thank you.

@molly0xfff Sad to see that John “I’m only doing this to pump XRP” Deaton is doing so poorly /s

@jalefkowit Are "toxic personality" and "inability to scale" code for "a guy who just doesn't like working with VCs?" Or is that too generous (I don't know anything about the characters in this drama).

If Trump wins because people don't bother to vote, anyone who tries to protest later will be met with the U.S. military.

So vote. And encourage everyone you know to vote. Because there won't be a second chance here.

I finally got my procrastinating ass in gear and started writing letters for Vote Forward.

Super easy and makes me feel like I did something useful.

Highly recommended.

Letters can be mailed as late as October 29 for any fellow procrastinators out there. :blobcatcoffee:
