Something about the idea that voting for president only matters if you live in a swing state, and that all the people in blue states or red states can indulge themselves in principled nonparticipation because the outcomes are preordained, strikes me as akin to playing with fire.

Is it really coherent to say "both sides are awful, write in Mickey Mouse or burn your ballot or just stay home and get drunk, unless you live in Pennsylvania, in which case maybe consider taking one for the team and compromising yourself by voting for the lesser evil?" Is that really the message that will lead to a preferable outcome?

What it sounds like to me is a sign that 1) you take your local electorate for granted, and 2) you see avoiding the worst case scenario as somebody else's problem.

I remember when Florida was a swing state. I also remember when Pennsylvania wasn't.

Sometimes something fucked up happens to the guy and their melody gets fucked up too. Sometimes the thing that fucked them up also has its own melody and when the first melody gets fucked up the second melody gets mixed in

hi! im not sure if you still answer asks asking for book recs but i figured ill just shoot my shot

i saw your book rec flow chart (which--wow, the amount of effort and care that went into that, i cant appreciate it enough) and in it you described radio silence as about finding a best friend which got me wondering if you had any other book recs like that?

(sidenote your book recommendation tag is a goldmine for queer book recs, you have excellent taste)

I am ALWAYS up for giving book recs! and I'm so glad to hear that the flow chart has been helpful!

as for other books about finding a best friend, I gotta say Radio Silence and Loveless are basically the cream of the crop. a few others that fall into that category:
