The duality of being a fan, is crying because your fave fanfics haven’t updated in months, but also crying because you also haven’t updated your own damn fics in months.

I want to watch a reverse ugly duckling transformation. A girl who stresses so much about looking pretty and flawless that it’s destroying her even if she doesn’t realize, a girl who only gets attention from shallow men who don’t care about her as a real person.
So one day, she gains the confidence to say fuck it, chops off her hair, wears baggy clothes with sneakers, and swears off makeup. And as a result she becomes a much happier and relaxed person, finally comfortable with her body and face the way they naturally look.
I feel like “baby boomers refuse to retire” is a weird way of saying “A lot of older people literally have to work continue working for as long as possible or they’ll die”
‘boomers versus millenials’ rhetoric is just another way of getting the poor to fight each other instead of blaming the rich.
Bungo: See, it’s not that I don’t appreciate this…
Belladonna: Well, it’s good that you appreciate it, then.
Bilbo: Really good.
Bungo: It’s wonderful to come home and find my wife and son waiting for me and supper being almost done, and something delicious baking in the oven, judging by the smell…
Belladonna: It is, isn’t it?
Bungo: What worries me is why neither of you would let me go out into the garden to have a smoke before supper is all done.
Bilbo: Don’t worry about it.
Bungo: See, Bilbo, when you tell me that, it just makes me worry more.
Belladonna: It’s been taken care of.
Bungo: And how much extra am I going to have to pay Halfred this time around?
Belladonna: … Uhm…
Bilbo: That’s… That’s for worrying about later, come have supper.
Bungo: … I’m going out to speak with Halfred.
Belladonna: No, wait!
Don’t vote straight tickets, don’t just select Democrat. Do each choice individually. People voting straight tickets in Texas caught the machines changing Beto votes to Cruz, while leaving the rest of the ticket Democrat.
Do individual votes, CHECK OVER YOUR BALLOT BEFORE YOU SUBMIT. Don’t exit out and try to start over, you aren’t allowed, your vote will be nulled. Get a poll worker to help you and have THEM document any machine errors, don’t take a pic of your ballot. Get a receipt of your vote. Ask poll workers how they are backing up votes. If you vote by mail, it’s critical to get your ballot in the mail asap. Thousands of votes aren’t counted because they’re stamped too late.
If you’re voting in person, go over every choice in the ballot carefully, and double check that the machine hasn’t changed your choice BEFORE you hit submit. Take your time, even if there’s a long line outside. Ask poll people for help if you have any questions. THERE ARE NO DUMB QUESTIONS.
Sometimes I have to ask really basic questions over and over and over before I understand stuff. I never forget, once it’s in my head, but some stuff takes clarifying and reclarifying and re-re-clarifying. I have learned to tell people that I’m not trying to be obtuse or difficult, that I have ADHD and I have to ask and re-ask. I don’t love sharing that with strangers, but it’s the most effective approach (I’ve tried a lot of different coping and learning methods over the years, including “I’d rather people think I’m stupid or sullen or contrary, I’ll be damned if I tell them that I process stuff differently”). But now I repeat back what they said to me, and they say, yup, that’s right, and then usually I say, I have ADHD, so I need to run this by you again to make sure I’m on the same page as you, and I ask some more questions, and 99% of the time they’re cool with it, and help me till I understand. A few people go from thinking I’m contrary to thinking I’m dumb, you can see it in their faces after I explain, but 1. Who cares, I need to understand, so they need to help me, and 2. I don’t think other people are dumb when they don’t notice all the things I see, from subtext to prediction to whatever. There are a lot of ways to be a person. I’m pretty secure with my level of intelligence, and I don’t look down on non-ADHD brains ffs, and 3. This is a small, but important aspect of disability and accessibility. If I told them I had dyslexia, people would be more patient with me re-stating and re-questioning. If I had other disabilities, they would be legally required to assist me or make the process accessible to me.
Everyone gets a seat at the table.
Everyone gets a vote.
Ask for help if you need it, is what I’m saying here.
More info here. TL;DR – voting in Texas is an absolute clusterfuck that suppresses voter turnout in just about every aspect.
