Finally took some in-game yukata prev. pictures! Available for AM in red-floral black and star-gold. If you like them you can download them from my last post here.
The Supreme Court just issues a ruling allowing Ohio and other states to purge voters from their election registration rolls due to their failure to cast a ballot in previous elections.
This is a major victory for the Trump administration and the GOP, and a direct consequence of the Supreme Court being stacked with more conservative judges (the votes were 5-4). This is also a huge part of what Trump/the GOP were counting on to save them in the 2018 midterm elections, which is where Democrats have been hoping to take back a majority in the House, giving them more power to combat Trump’s abuses of power and Republican legislation.
What this means is YOU CAN NOT ASSUME THAT YOU ARE REGISTERED for the 2018 elections, just because you SHOULD be. Thanks to this decision, red states can purge voters’ registration based on their not having cast a ballot in even just previous federal elections, NOT just the national Presidential elections. Effectively, if you haven’t voted in previous senate races or for congressional representatives in the past few years, that’s all they need now to say you’re no longer registered and need to register again.
They’re deliberately counting on people assuming they’re still registered and so not checking until after registration deadlines have passed, or showing up to vote this November and only then finding out they’re no longer registered, when its too late to do a damn thing about it.
And this is absolutely targeted at marginalized communities, low income voters, disabled voters, and basically anyone who simply can’t always AFFORD to keep on top of every federal election and show up to vote in every senate race, etc. Which not so coincidentally happen to be all the communities and voters who have the most to gain from Democratic victories in the 2018 midterms and are the least likely to cast votes for GOP candidates at this point.
This was absolutely a calculated effort aimed specifically at keeping the GOP in power with a majority control of the government come November, and unfortunately, it has a DAMN good chance of accomplishing just that if it goes by unacknowledged. I’m not looking to alarm or panic anyone, simply to say:
If you are a registered voter in a red state at this point, please please please do not take your registered status as assumed. Check on your registration status, look up all relevant voter registration deadlines for your state and district, CIRCLE THAT SHIT ON YOUR CALENDAR, and check your registration status AGAIN right before those deadlines pass, so you can be sure of it before its too late to do anything about it til the next voting cycle.
eleanor shellstrop is Officially Bisexual and i literally cannot think of a better end to bi week than this
can I just say that it’s so nice to finally hear someone be like “yeah, our character’s super bisexual” instead of the usual “well she just likes people! I think it’s great if our viewers relate to her in that way”
like they didn’t even go for the “well she’s probably a little bi-curious” dodge– they said she’s SUPER BI
Not much to say other than I gave my old beddings a facelift by adding a quilt multiplier and some other small improvements. These wont overwrite the old one’s. For single and double beds.
swatch: (sorry for the lousy in game previews, png swatches included in the rar)
I’m baack, with one of my favourite things – wallsI 🙂 (Thanks for sticking with me even though I disappear from time to time) Anyway, I absolutely love these walls by pictureamoebae and had to have them for TS2!
I’m always in need of more rugs so I converted the ‘rose rug’ from TS4 and Ohbehaves beautiful recolors. There’s 51 different patterns to chose from. Swatches included in the download. (the download is rather big because of the swatches)
