did you know? there is a type of metal chariot,powered by the bone-ichor of ancient dragons, that you can use to access—and quickly traverse—a labyrinthine realm of desolate, pitch-black stone known to scientists as “the american highway system”
be forewarned! the chariot does release a terrible curse that ravages the sky and boils the sea. but the King’s coffers are rich with coin from the Dragonbone Ichor Council, so there aren’t many alternatives <|:^/
Here is a neat thing to think of forever: look at “maximum room occupancy” signs — they are everywhere in offices and hotels and restaurants and shops.
If you see one at or around 63, take a good, long look at how physically small the room is!
May this haunt you forever should you think “my vote doesn’t matter. Even though I can vote, I won’t.”
In 3 hours more people have reblogged this than will decide this House seat btw.
You and your vote matter.
This is from November 2022 - only 63 votes decided this election, where the Democratic candidate defeated the Republican incumbent (person who was running for re-election.)
Check your eligibility and verify that you haven’t been removed from the poll lists now, before the deadlines, and please vote when you can.
Hi! @oma-goodness sorry to burst your bubble, and I do fundamentally agree with your point- everyone should absolutely vote when they can, etc.
I think my overriding frustration is about people seeing that multiple factors, including economic systems, contribute to problems in the world, and then coming to the conclusion that removing that economic system (or whatever the factor is) will automatically remove the problem, when the other factors that contribute to the problem are still there.
Like, I’m a storyteller. I understand the desire for a magic bullet that will solve all the problems. Believe me, I do.
But I’d far, far rather have someone honestly say, “This won’t solve everything for everyone, but it will make things less bad for a lot of people, and once we’ve done that, we can concentrate on what else is contributing to hurting the people that this solution didn’t help,” than have someone double down on insisting that their solution is actually one-size-fits-all, and that no one could possibly not have everything wrong cured by it, and if you still have problems afterwards, well then, you’re the problem.
