For all of my US followers for whom general public official election day is coming up (Nov. 7th) PLEASE do not become so disillusioned with the current state of higher power politicians that you skip out on voting for local offices; off year and local elections are already critically unemphasized but these are the people who have the most direct power over jails, police, school curriculum, etc. Do not let your grief be weaponized as a distraction from also continuing to fight police brutality, queer and bipoc censorship in schools, bodily autonomy, housing inequality, etc, on the smaller scale battlefields where every vote truly does count
It can be so frustrating to vote in small local elections because info is harder to find, but if you take the time to google vote411 and go to their website, get your personal ballot, and then look up the candidates, you will always find that two people are running for a local school board, and one is a lovely person who has slowly been effecting positive change for three decades and the other is a real estate broker who wants more money. And then you have the power to vote against the money asshole and for the nice person in a race that can genuinely go down to a handful of votes. Feels awesome, man. Vote out the bitch who voted against reasonable COVID measures in your local high school 3 years ago.
Half the people running for the school board in my district are self proclaimed TERFs, so yeah. Local politics ***matter***. (Luckily the other half are sane and reasonable, and I’ve got my chest sheet ready for voting.)
My school board election is full of book-banners. So is the local council election. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE. And read up on the candidate before you go, because there won’t be a party affiliation next to some of the names.
I promised I’d dress as Gandalf Big Naturals before my breast reduction, and true to my word, here are the pics I took literally the day before surgery LMAO
one may say that you will diminish, and go into the West, and remain Gandalf…
last week i was sitting at a red light and was getting honked at SOOOOOOO MUCH and looked up and this guy was slamming the horn and the girl in the passenger seat was like trying to pull his arms away from the horn. then i remembered i have this bumper sticker
Usually, when someone tells you that you can make money from home, it’s a scam. The bourgeois monsters who control our society demand that we attend to a physical place of work. Even when you’re “working from home,” it usually only serves to make your house feel like an office. That’s no fun at all, so I decided to liberate the human spirit by developing TheftBot.
TheftBot is, simply put, a fully sentient robot for stealing automatic teller machines (ATMs) from nearby convenience stores. Those ATMs, in case you are unfamiliar, are stuffed with cash – the bank’s cash – and that money can be spent on goods and services, like semi-slick racing tires or turbochargers.
He’s built on an old Kubota forklift frame, with a nitrous-stuffed 500-cubic-inch Cadillac V8 loosely bolted onto it. That provides tons of power to outrun the police and even the most eager private security forces. Importantly, he’s fully remote-controllable, which means I both don’t have to be in the cabin, and have plausible deniability if his “self-driving algorithm” goes a little kooky-koo and slams through the front of a QuickStop, emerging seconds later with a Diebold-Nixdorf containing approximately nine hundred dollars on average. The autonomous car laws are very loose in my neck of the woods, you see.
Sure, there’s a lot of downsides to this kind of hustle culture. The biggest part is all the guilt: ATM theft used to be a heroic, working-class job that paid well. Now I’ve automated it, a bourgeois action that makes me no different from the banks. I think that buying a few more turbochargers could make me feel a little better about it, though.
