Our state primary is Sept 1, and my ballot apparently went in the mail on Friday.
Does anybody mind if I pass out?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

There's also early in-person voting here as well, which should help keep the crowds down.

Thrive to spite them
South Carolina doesn't have early voting but they waived the requirements for absentee voting. At this point, working in retail, I figure in person voting is about as risky as going to work.
I'm still not registered to vote in SC, that will happen Tuesday when I finally get my car registered and my SC license.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh cool, you get to vote against Lindsey Graham! We don't have any Senate races this year. I'll likely vote in person, either early or on election day depending on when I get back to Florida. The lines are generally long both early and election day, but I don't have an issue with queueing.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Oh cool, you get to vote against Lindsey Graham!
And that race is surprisingly close!

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
The number of people in this country that seem to be perpetually waiting for an excuse to shoot people is absolutely demoralizing. You've got organized groups like the various militias and the Boogaloo Boys and then you've got all the normal gun nuts on top of it.
Shit is seriously making me wonder if I should be looking for another country to move my family to (and part of me wonders if anywhere would actually be safe if the USA went full dictatorship while the ruler was in Russia's pocket.)

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Probably going to do in-person voting. Early voting, if I can.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
I've been low key worried about right wing militias or the like starting some widespread organized violence for so long that I don't feel appreciably more worried now. I suppose the likelihood is greater and could certainly get higher with election reactions but it feels like the same worry.

We got the heat advisory on through Wednesday, and I was thinking about going into the office to take advantage of their A/C, but today isn't even really hot yet and it's already too oppressively warm to be wearing clothes, so I don't know.
I have ice cream and frozen peas, though, so I am that much prepared, at least.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
I'll be honest, I'm getting all of our paperwork ready to move to Canada if necessary. M & Peanut are both fine, they're both Canadian citizens, it's just me that might have difficulties. But I finally got my passport back (after sending it in on March 1), so I've got that going for me.
