I'm told that people need reasons to vote FOR Kamala Harris rather than AGAINST Donolf. OK, I'll do my best.
1. Harris has more than three functioning brain cells.
2. Harris probably lies now and then, like any politician, but she knows when she's doing it because she's not demented.
3. Harris is not a fucking racist.
4. Harris is not an adjudicated rapist.
5. Harris understands that a "concept of a plan" is not a plan.
How am I doing so far?

elon musk is a sleazy con man. His "free" Starlink con is a total rip off. The receiver costs $400 and will take 2-3 weeks to arrive, which- if you've got electricity- you'll only have a week or 2 before you have to pay $120 per month.
there's nothing worse than a billionaire taking advantage of people in peril.
nothing.

NOTE: If you make less than $22,591 a year ($30,661 for married couples), it's worth applying for "Extra Help." Extra Help can pay for your prescription drug coverage (Part D) premiums, deductibles, coinsurance, and other costs. Visit ssa.gov/extrahelp or call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 to apply for Extra Help.

This is also the last day you can register to vote in Georgia. And there's no better reason to vote than to protect your personal autonomy from state tyranny.
As a result of Georgia's Supreme Court ruling.
I am writing postcards today only to Georgia addresses.
These are get out the vote postcards.
I look up the address and find one local good thing that brought good jobs, or a better life. To that town.
And remind folks to vote.
#Project2025 calls for the elimination of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) as punishment for their promulgation of #ClimateChange information. #FEMA responses will suffer. My former employer was a FEMA contractor; we provided supplemental field staff responding to disasters. Accurate forecasts enabled FEMA to preposition personnel and resources, better for everyone. MAGA prefers chaos and suffering. Vote accordingly. The life you save may be your own. #Politics
A favorite local hike, from Evergreen State College parking lot F to the beach, is now strongly discouraged due to a cougar sighting.
I'm sure it would rather eat deer than human. But we're a lot easier to catch. So if you hike, bring a friend who's slower than you.
Considering how well camouflaged and secretive these cats are, it was probably there for some time before it revealed itself.
(Photo by Michael Smith; I don't know if it's the same cougar.)
If you are affected by Helene in NC:
1. If you are not registered to vote or your registration is delayed due to Helene, you can register SAME day during *early* voting - October 17 - Nov 2.
2. If you were sent an absentee ballot and did not/cannot receive it - you can vote in person during early voting or on election day.
3. If you have your absentee ballot in hand, you can either mail it or drop it off at any voting location or the local BoE.

Don't let your ballot be rejected. If you vote by mail, get it in the mail as soon as you can. If you have an alternative, like dropping it in a state-run ballot box or polling location, do that. Don't let DeJoy steal your vote:
Lol.
