Unrelated to voting, I seriously need to get productive today. I lost a huge chunk of last week and have 3 projects at once. Which is yay but also ACK.
I know I'm a bad poet, but I'm a good man. All I ask is that... is that you try to see me—

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I would not be surprised if the measure gets challenged in court, but then it will be fuel for an argument of "The Fed gov't telling us what to do!!!" How DARE they.

Because books.
I just found this, too:
Seven states have enacted voter identification laws that require or request certain forms of photo identification from voters. They are Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan and South Dakota, according to the National Conference of State Legislatures. Some of these states' laws are more strict than others.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I've been in someone's photo files since before I could speak, so it's hard for me to process that as something limiting or undesirable. I'm sure fingerprints followed shortly afterwards.
However, it was always something theoretically worth paying for. Being able to vote isn't "worth paying for." It is priceless.

I have to show ID to vote, but that ID can be a voter registration card, it doesn't have to be a photo ID.

I will if you will. Amys unite. And conquer! Or something.
It's so gray and rainy here, I can't get awake.

Dreary weather is like Kryptonite for Amys.

I asked a European about sipping chocolate and she had no idea. Of course, she is Polish - perhaps sipping chocolate is mainly French?

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
It's Monday, it's raining, it's my last week on maternity leave, and I'm doing my taxes. WTF, day? Why so sucky?
