Hello,
My name is CJ and I’m a trans man. I grew up in a small town in North Carolina and I still live there today. My dad is a Chilean immigrant and he came to this country when he was only 8, spending most of his life in the beautiful land of Puerto Rico. My mom grew up in Florida (where I was born) and has mainly Irish ancestry. I have two older brothers, both in college. One attends Juilliard, the other UNCC. Most of my friends are a part of the LGBTQ+ community. I also have friends who are children of immigrants, just like me.
When I was born, it was induced by medication and I was born 8 weeks early due to a disease my mom had contracted while pregnant with me. We both survived thanks to the doctors and nurses who helped my mom deliver me safely. Due to my premature birth, I have struggled my whole life with chronic illness and disability.
I am telling you all of this because I am scared. Tomorrow is November 5th, Election Day, and depending on who wins I may be in serious danger.
Please, for the sake of me, my friends, my family, the trans community, the chronically ill, the disabled community, immigrants, immigrant families, women who need access to healthcare, and EVERY. SINGLE. American citizen…
💙VOTE BLUE💙
I don’t want my rights to be taken from me.
For the love of chocolate, whoever is American here and of legal age, vote ! I will NOT have Trump get a second mandate 😭
made a beautiful google slides infographic in 60 seconds on why u should Fucking Vote
"But Harris --"
I know.
"When Harris --"
Yeah, I know.
"DID YOU KNOW THAT, ONE TIME, HARRIS VOTED --"
YEAH.
I KNOW.
WE ALL KNOW.
We knew her history when she got put on the ticket in 2020 (and even before).
And, yes, you bet your sweet bippy we're gonna still organize and lean into community care and hold her tf accountable the moment she takes office.
But we have to vote her in.
She's picking Supreme Court Judges.
She's organizing a cabinet that will certainly have consequences on *my* field of work.
She's not going to decimate the lives of queer people and people of color and not establish a fucking Christian nationalist government.
Hold your nose, get her into office, and we move forward.
That is all kinds of wrong
As someone who lost their father to cancer I feel this is very important to share. Please vote in 2024, and vote for those who care more about the people rather than bullshit politics.
(I don’t typically talk politics or world affairs but this hit me hard.)
I’m not american so I can’t vote for Biden but if any of y’all are, plssss just think logically
Abstinence is terrible because if you don’t vote then the trump supporters will and then you’ll feel reeeal stupid
Look.
I have made you a chart. A very simple chart.
People say "You have to draw the line somewhere, and Biden has crossed it-" and my response is "Trump has crossed way more lines than Biden".
These categories are based off of actual policy enacted by both of these men while they were in office.
If the ONLY LINE YOU CARE ABOUT is line 12, you have an incredible amount of privilege, AND YOU DO NOT CARE ABOUT PALESTINIANS. You obviously have nothing to fear from a Trump presidency, and you do not give a fuck if a ceasefire actually occurs. You are obviously fine if your queer, disabled, and marginalized loved ones are hurt. You clearly don't care about the status of American democracy, which Trump has openly stated he plans to destroy on day 1 he is in office.

If you live in the U.S and polls are still open where you are go fucking vote!
Please vote blue so i don’t have to leave the US, i don’t wanna leave my family but i have to so i can stay safe
voting is 2 days away! Make sure to vote and if you can’t, inform friends and adults around you about voting!
🤭 I don’t know what it is with my fascination when it comes to movies or tv shows that clearly are normal like no superpowers and things related to that sort. I like the idea of there being at least 1 person. Even if it’s just a small percentage, someone out there in those shows, be it a main character or a background character, someone simply written to advance another characters characters and so on a copy and paste of the same damn thing over and over again. Oh god I’m droning on. Anyways basically I like the idea of someone in those worlds having a least a power or a hidden talent that could go as a power or a form of humans simply mutating 🤷🏽♀️
OKAY. LISTEN UP. THIS HAS BEEN BOTHERING ME...
(I'll do Sunnys one later.)
REMINDER TO VOTE TODAY!
No, not just vote. Vote for Kamala Harris. The lives of queer, trans, afab, people of color, non-Christian religions, disabled people, literally any minority group you can think of are at stake! We can win, we can survive this. If you are an American citizen 18 or over, vote for Harris. This isn’t the time to “send a message” by not voting. This is your last chance.
The world is bleak for Americans if Trump wins. He is not for America, he is for himself. He is for the cishet able bodied able minded white man.
I am begging you, as a queer disabled person, to vote for Harris-Walz. This isn’t the time to deliberate.
By not voting for Harris, you are voting against the above minorities. I don’t care if you “still support them”. You are directly putting us in danger. Don’t be stupid, don’t be rash, don’t put others in danger. Lives are at stake here. Please, vote now.
REBLOG THIS POST TO REACH AS MANY PEOPLE AS YOU CAN. POST ABOUT IT YOURSELF. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD DON’T STAY SILENT.
I know a lot of you in the US are probably sick and tired of hearing this, but PLEASE vote whenever possible! Be it a mail in ballot, or at your local polling place on Election Day.
I do not want to be enslaved at a prison camp because of all trans people being criminalized or m*rdured by an emboldened fascist because people didn’t care enough about what’s currently at stake!
Of course you don’t. Free college might hinder the school-to-prison pipeline your prison owning donors depend on
Vote for Oakie in SUNY Mascot Madness!
This round will be the hardest yet! Oakie Acorn (they/them) is up against last year’s champion, and we’ll need every vote we can get!
[Image description from alt text: An image of Oakie the Acorn, a yellow acorn mascot with big green eyes, green arms and legs, and a smile. Text on the bottom of the image reads "SUNY Mascot Madness." End ID.]
Vote for Oakie here!
Oakie’s opponent is also… not the nicest. "Wolfie the Seawolf" from Stony Brook University, is quoted as saying these things on the official Mascot Madness webpage.
[Image description from alt text:
A screenshot showing an interview with Wolfie Seawolf. Interviewer: Read any good books lately? Wolfie: I just finished rereading The Art of War. I think using some of the tactics included will help me to win Mascot Madness for the third time in a row. After that, you might as well crown me the supreme ruler of SUNY Mascots. Why even have the other ones? Interviewer: Favorite pizza topping? Wolfie: I've recently grown fond of devouring acorns, I bet they would go particularly well on pizza…
End ID.]
Oakie, by contrast, is:
all about sustainability
the only officially queer mascot in the tournament
also the only plant
Their commentary on their opponents is much kinder!

A screenshot of an interview with Oakie Acorn. Interviewer: How would you celebrate being named SUNY Mascot Madness Champion in 2024? Oakie: The same way I celebrated in 2017 when I won the title – surrounded by the best students, faculty, and staff ever! We had a party that the whole campus attended. My friend, Victor E. Knight from SUNY Geneseo, was gracious enough to come and present me with the trophy and join the festivities. I think it would be great to host Wolfie on campus this year.

You can vote every 12 hours on each browser and device you have access to until the round ends at 3pm on Tuesday. If you vote for Oakie (and like this post, reply, message me, reblog, or otherwise let me know) I will post an original art piece, as I have before!
One hour left- last chance to support Oakie! I will post art pieces if you do :)
Seriously, my family and friends are all going crazy about supporting this acorn. Please vote for them.
This from my sister on Discord
Tumblr people, can I ask something weird? Can I ask you to vote in a popular tournament poll…. Not on this hellsite? 🥺👉👈
My school’s mascot is Oakie the Acorn, and they’re probably the Tumblr-est mascot you could think of.
I mean, they’re an acorn for goodness’ sake, they’re officially non-binary, and they’re all about sustainability. The school they represent is also very tumblr- SUNY ESF is a school dedicated to saving the Earth, and its student culture makes it a place where the genders are queer and the neuros are divergent :) People just stop to stare at a weird mushroom or interesting insect all the time here, and if someone spots them, instead of ridicule, you’ll probably have two people staring.
In conclusion, vote for Oakie!
Saying "voting doesn't matter" might reach your younger peers online but it certainly hasn't reached Clangus Hargbarg who was part of the kkk in 1951 and still sends in his ballot. He hasn't missed a one.
just voted for the first time ever
and im dressed up like bill cipher
Too many ignorant progressives trying to tear Biden down because they're not happy about things Biden has no control over or he's not doing their bidding or acting fast enough to keep them happy.
Here is a list of everything anti-Biden progressives are helping to bring into reality by their support of Trump or by voting 3rd party which is the same as voting for TFG:
1) Abortion will be banned nationwide.
2) Contraception will be banned shortly thereafter.
3) The Supreme Court will be locked hard-right for the next 30+ years.
4) The climate crisis will significantly worsen, beyond our ability to mitigate it.
5) More tax cuts for millionaires and billionaires, spiking the deficit.
6) Trump will not leave office.
7) There will be a recession (there's been a recession during every Republican presidency for the last 100 years -- Google it).
8 ) Prices will NOT return to 2019 levels.
9) 50,000 federal workers will be fired and replaced with Trump loyalists per Project 2025. The lack of checks on his power will make it more likely he will remain in office beyond his term.
10) Similarly, the Department of Justice will shift to being under the direct control of the White House, allowing Trump to arrest anyone who's been mean to him.
11) Russia will annex Ukraine then move to invade other eastern European nations, probably Poland first—with Trump's support.
12) America will leave NATO.
13) Trump will, as promised, close the pandemic preparedness office.
14) Millions of citizens will be swept up in Trump's deportation blitz.
15) Trump will use the military to arrest peaceful protesters and charge them under the Insurrection Act. Pro-Palestinian protesters will be deported as Hamas sympathizers.
I cannot imagine having so much privilege as to believe this is okay would not affect me.
