• taylorswift Like many of you, | watched the debate tonight. If you haven't already, now is a great time to do your research on the issues at hand and the stances these candidates take on the topics that matter to you the most. As a voter, | make sure to watch and read everything | can about their proposed policies and plans for this country. Recently | was made aware that Al of ‘me’ falsely endorsing Donald Trump's presidential run was posted to his site. It really conjured up my fears around Al, and the dangers of spreading misinformation. It brought me to the conclusion that | need to be very transparent about my actual plans for this election as a voter. The simplest way to combat misinformation is with the truth. | will be casting my vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz in the 2024 Presidential Election. I'm voting for @kamalaharris because she fights for the rights and causes | believe need a warrior to champion them. | think she is a steady-handed, gifted leader and | believe we can accomplish so much more in this country if we are led by calm and not chaos. | was so heartened and impressed by her selection of running mate @timwalz, who has been standing up for LGBTQ+ rights, IVF, and a woman'’s right to her own body for decades.

"What Orwell feared were those who would ban books. What Huxley feared was that there would be no reason to ban a book, for there would be no one who wanted to read one.

Orwell feared those who would deprive us of information. Huxley feared those who would give us so much that we would be reduced to passivity and egoism.

Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance."

Printed and framed one of my recent photos. I honestly miscalculated the size of the passepartout a bit, it would probably look better without the inner margin. I’m still just kind of trying it on. Wish this was a darkroom print, but it’s not. Don’t have access to one at the moment.

As a kid during and after the Vietnam War Era, rumors were flying that the refugees in our neighborhood were stealing and eating pet dogs.
Same shit, different day.
Even as a seven or eight year-old, I had strong suspicions about these racist rumors, and actually had school friends from these families.

If populist political parties campaigning against immigration genuinely wanted to limit immigration, they would make climate change one of their top priorities - as climate change is 100% going to drive migration.

A portion of our planet is going to become uninhabitable in the lifetime of our children, which will drive people to migrate.
