@Rachel_Thorn If anyone wants to know the exact rules in their state, there's a good rundown of them all here:https://ballotpedia.org/Ballot_selfies

If very white me can attract angry white supremacists like this for trying to do a little (gasp!) affirmative action, I can only imagine what it’s like for Black and Brown people who come here talking about the racism they experience in their daily lives and trying to find community here. It’s no surprise most of these racists coming into my mentions come from mastodon.social. I am tempted to block the whole instance, but I know most people start there because the sign-up process is biased in favor of the Gorgon’s unmoderated cesspool.

Please include alt text (image descriptions) for visually impaired users. To add alt text to an existing toot, choose Edit under the 3-dot menu, delete the image, then put the image back and add the alt text when you do. If for some reason you can't add alt text yourself, you can add the hashtag Alt4Me to the toot to request a volunteer to add an image description in a reply. If you follow @PleaseCaption, they will automatically nudge you when you forget to add alt text to a toot with an image.
