This year, don’t let the baby boomers f*** our country over. If you’re one of the 69 million millennials eligible to vote this November, we just made it super easy.

okay i have something to say about this…

for those of you in college, check your course calendars, because the last gubernatorial election fell on an exam week and me and a lot of my classmates didn’t have time to leave campus to vote. an absentee ballot might be the way to go for you

Agreed. Please look into absentee and early voting laws in your state. Most states allows college students to fill out absentee ballots. I just had a conversation with a frequent toll volunteer who thinks lines will be very long this year. Please try to vote early or absentee if the option is available. 

Also you legally are allowed to take time off to vote.

i was at the zoo and just kind of vagueing out leaning on a rail and watching the duck pond and in the background a kid started yelling “he’s coming for you! he’s coming for you!!” and i thought it was some game she was playing with her family or something up until i felt a little hand grab my elbow and looked down to see this tiny wide-eyed child staring up at me with the world’s most serious expression and she said in a solemn voice

“he’s here for you”

and something reached out and grabbed my other hand

it turns out that a resident cockatoo has figured out that if it just waddles back and forth along the rail it can get the maximum amount of attention and headskritches with the minimum amount of flying and objectively this is very cute but at the same time this was very nearly the way that a grown adult died of a heart attack at the zoo

Some ideas for good things that are black/dark:

  • rich earth/soil
  • chocolate, truffles, wine, cooked meat
  • friendly animals/pets/creatures
  • a character’s favorite vehicle, technology, coat, etc.
  • a pleasant night
  • hair, skin tone, clothing, etc. of a good person
  • undisturbed water of a lake
  • the case/container of something important
  • valued wood, furniture, art
  • velvet

Think to burn, to infect, to bleach vs. to enrich, to protect, to be of substance.

*slams reblog like the fist of an angry god*

the politics of light and dark are everywhere in our vocabulary…psa to writers: subvert this, reveal whiteness and lightness as sometimes artificial and violent, and darkness as healing, the unknown as natural
