!!!IMPORTANT FOR BLACK US VOTERS!!!

I saw this on Facebook and went to check my registration status, sure it was fine because I voted recently, but I put in the info and it said I’m not registered

PLEASE, especially if you’re a Black voter, check your registration status at vote.org

Know your status

Does your last name sound anything like Lopez, Martinez, or Rodriguez? Mine does. When I saw this post I checked my voter registration status online with my state. Despite registering just three months ago, I was no longer registered to vote, and I did not receive my ballot. If you live in a mail-in voting state and you didn’t get your ballot, contact your county election official/county clerk for a replacement.

Make sure you check with your state’s voting site as well. I just had the shit scared out of me because that website said I was registered, but when I checked my state’s site (and made sure I had the right county selected) it said I was registered.

It’s worth checking your state’s site every few months anyway (especially when any election is coming up).

Texas is definitely purging voters. They’re also making it harder to re-register if they purged you. I hate that this is true, but POC will need to check and check frequently to stay registered in Texas.

College students, too. In the 2014 election, I had to vote in San Marcos, and I can’t tell you how many Texas State students were turned away because they didn’t cross all the t’s and dot all the i’s on getting their registration transferred and current.

anyway!! if you’re a gentile wishing you received more education on Judaism in your school system, i would recommend checking out jewfaq.org. it’s free and a great introductory resource, even if the design looks a little dated 

this also goes for Jews who did not receive a Jewish education or did not receive as much Jewish education as they would have liked. you are not a “bad Jew” for not knowing things about Judaism/Jewishness, and you have a right to know more about your roots.

i’m kicking myself for not putting myjewishlearning.com on this post, and think both websites are extremely valuable (with somewhat different viewpoints). i’d love if people would reblog this version of the post with both links but suspect the cat may be out of the bag at this point

From the time I lived in a small fundamentalist Christian community, from before I ever heard the words ‘asexual’ or ‘aromantic’, I always talked to my friends in terms of 'when and if you decide to date’. It just seemed obvious that people would exist who never wanted to.

you ever see girls that are so pretty that you don’t know what to do with yourself

i made a pretty girl laugh w/a silly joke and i got so flustered that i apologized

this pretty girl told me my hair was cute and touched it briefly and I couldn’t form full sentences for a solid 10 minutes.

at a football game a pretty girl told me i was cute and she also called me kiddo and i couldnt play my instrument right for the rest of the night

every girl I see is pretty, I am in a constant state of paralysis

this pretty girl offered to teach me how to longboard and when she was teaching me how to balance she put her hands on my hips and I felt my soul leave my body

one time a pretty girl called me “gorgeous” and I was so shocked and flustered that I literally cried right in front of her

today a pretty girl walked me out of class and i was surprised when she kept walking even though we reached her bus stop and i asked her where she was heading and she said “oh i just wanted to walk you to wherever you’re going” and we both blushed

at work this summer there was a pretty girl who came in multiple times a week and every single day she showed up I would lose the ability to form coherent sentences for at least ten minutes

A pretty cashier at the campus store told me I was pretty and I got so flustered that when I went back to my room I had to lay down for half an hour and my roommate was starting to get concerned. 

There’s a REALLY pretty girl in my band class and she’s three chairs away from me and every time I even glance up at her she looks back and smiles at me and I forget how to read music

This entire post just added 10 years to my life and soul

Once I was getting off the bus and there was a girl so beautiful next to me that I tripped and walked into a bus pole.

honestly me every time i see my gf, like holy shit, but also once in college i ran across this weird gothy/pseudo-victorian girl and she was so painfully pretty that i died

Once I met a girl so pretty I lost all ability to differentiate between languages and gave her my coffee order in three different ones mashed together.

(She laughed at me, but that’s okay, because she married me two years later.)

This thread ended in the best possible way. I hope y'all stay pure

I had a customer once who was so pretty I slipped her my phone number and then couldn’t function at all for like 20 minutes

Writing is the worst because yesterday I sat down to write plot and ended up spending an hour creating my mc’s class schedule and today I sat down to write plot and I’ve spent the last twenty minutes trying to figure out what her tumblr url is

anyway it’s been *checks notes* *waves at @mia-ugly* at least three weeks since chapter 11 of Slow Show dropped and i’m still thinking about the Cast Party Coming Out Dance

now, a lot of this is tied into those two Coming Out Dances in Torchwood bc that was really Baby’s First Fandom (and also incidentally what primed baby’s first gay feelings about A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square)

but it’s also got me thinking back on that time i danced to Glenn Miller at a cast party back in the day when my friend and i still publicly girl-presenting entities who were at that point dressed in m/m Torchwood couple’s cosplay, and i thought i understood how daring that was given the nature of that particular community at the time but i’m really only now coming to recognize the sheer amount of teenage audacity it took for that Queer Power Move in hindsight.

so yeah shoutout to @phoenixtawnyflower ya entity is now Properly Out As Nonbinary and wants to say thank u for being friends with me in a gay way and gay with me in a friends way in more genders than i knew were even possible at the time and i want you to know i cherish the memory of that entire business. (honestly while i’m here i cherish the entire business of our friendship and how much you were willing to share and model all the things with me but that’s a  moment really sticks out for me rn)

❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 Welcome to the club, my dear! That’s a fabulous replacement for ‘girl,’ I’m always wanting to say ‘ya girl’ or ‘guess who…this girl’ except Not A Girl Anymore, so I think I’ll steal ‘entity’. Also, ‘friends in a gay way and gay in a friends way’ is a beautiful way to describe going to prom together, among everything else.

Those were the days! My memories get all mixed up, but are you sure that was a cast party? Only show we were in together would’ve been Alice, and I wouldn’t have dressed up for that because I was planning to leave it early all along to go to the same gay prom, two years earlier. (And I swear Glenn Miller has played at every event I attended that involved music since 2010.)

I think, wherever it was, it was the same night a certain 11th Doctor enthusiast saw us and went “Oh! You’re… I knew about [phoenix], but not [wilde]!” And I had to go explain to him that whatever conclusion he’d just come to, it wasn’t the right one. I didn’t even know whether I’d inadvertently outed you or not at that point. Not like we ever formally came out to one another, at least in regards to orientation. As for a power move, I certainly wouldn’t have been brave enough if we’d been boys–it was only the ‘gal pal’ phenomenon that made me feel safe.

Funny story about A Nightingale Sang in Berkeley Square–I was watching Good Omens, and that played at the end, like you do. “Angels dining at the Ritz.” And I laughed and said, “Guess they changed the words to fit the image.”

Mother says, “Why, what was it before?”

“Angels dancing at the Ritz.”

“Really?”

So I googled it. And, no. The lyrics are, in fact, dining at the Ritz.

Huh, I said to myself. Did I totally misremember it from that Torchwood scene I watched a hundred times? So I pulled up YouTube, found that scene and…

“Angels dancing at the Ritz.”

Plus most of the google hits for those lyrics turn up Torchwood art/fic.

So. Torchwood changed it to fit the image?

Anyway, I hope you’re safe where you are, and well, and happy! I’m feeling nostalgic, so check your discord later, I’mma send you some photos.

What they have are five beverages and four waters. Water, by definition, cannot be a beverage.

The fuck do you mean water cant be a beverage?

To all my writing friends, note that water is not a beverage… I didn’t know either.
