two important events today: my mom’s birthday and election day (obvs)

happy birthday, mom 💕 these past few years have been difficult to say the least, and I love you so much.
.
as for the election, I hope that everyone who is able to do so votes! this is the most important election in my lifetime, and I sincerely hope we get that orange motherfucker out of office.
.
this administration has caused such unimaginable harm, from 200k+ deaths from COVID to forced hysterectomies of migrant women. and today, more people will die from COVID. families will still get separated at the border. they’ll continue to push their bullshit policies.
.
and if it wasn’t obvious enough, biden/harris 2020. #election2020

when I was a kid, I was always so excited to vote.

when I was a kid, I was always so excited to vote. I remember poring over the Nickelodeon voter guide for kids, learning how the electoral college worked, and even taking notes on the Bush/Kerry debates in 2004. I think I always wanted to vote because of how hard the people before me fought for my right to vote. (the stickers don’t hurt tho)
🗳
#IVoted because I want to have a say in the direction our country and community goes. I voted because I will not let bigotry win. I voted because I can, and you should too.
