WHAT WE PRETEND

My name is Arlene. she/her pronouns. I have a penchant for pretty pictures, radical rhetoric, nerdiness, and nostalgia. This blog will be a random amalgam of whatever happens to catch my fancy.

Needed to channel the horror into something, so why not some protest art? I would love nothing more than for these designs to get put to use, so if they resonate, please share, print, wheatpaste, distribute, hang in your window, etc (attribution/permission not necessary). Ink is expensive, so I made a PDF of multiple versions of both designs (full color, partial color, and black and white) to provide a range of options for printing.

Why isn’t this at a million notes, yet, Dante???

I’m not sure. Hey lovely people who have taken me over half way to a cool million! If you’d like to reblog again, I’d love that, if not, I still love you, and hope you’re having a great day. I’m gonna go do some stand up tonight.

I was trying to do a sort of remake of another hand I had before but I don’t think this turned out as great as it could’ve been ..

Hillary Clinton isn’t even trying to hide her voter suppression now. You know it’s bad when the Arizona Democratic Party is saying they’re getting their lawyers involved. Hundreds if not thousands of people were turned away in Arizona because their party affiliations were showing up as something they had not registered as. Lifelong Democrats were told they were showing up as Independents and even Republicans. People were turned away and given provisional votes which may or may not count. There were 200 voting locations in 2012 and this time there were 60. People were forced to wait hours to vote, and if you couldn’t wait hours (like, say, if you have a job) your vote was suppressed.

Arizona is evidence of voter suppression on a massive scale. Please, SPREAD THIS KNOWLEDGE. We need to be so vocal about it that the media can’t hide it away and something will be FORCED to be done. Sign the petition to force the White House to respond. We need to shout that we will not be suppressed!!

WEDNESDAY, MARCH 22, 2016. 12:34 LOCAL TIME. DESPITE THE FACT THAT ARIZONA’S DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY HAS ALREADY BEEN CALLED IN FAVOR OF HILLARY CLINTON, RESIDENTS OF ARIZONA ARE STILL WAITING TO CAST THEIR VOTE. MANY HAVE BEEN WAITING IN LINE FOR UPWARDS OF 6 HOURS. AS IT BECOMES CLEAR THAT ARIZONA VOTERS HAVE BEEN MISLED, RE-REGISTERED WITHOUT THEIR CONSENT, LIED TO, DEFRAUDED, AND TURNED AWAY FROM POLING PLACES TOO CROWDED TO ACCOMMODATE THEM, MANY SOURCES ARE BEGINNING TO CITE VOTER SUPPRESSION AS THE TRUE REIGNING CHAMPION OF TONIGHT’S ELECTION.
