My mental health has really started tanking during the summers.. they weren't like this when I was a kid (I'm only in my 20s), with the smoke and weeks on end of 90°+ weather. I struggle to cope with the stark reality of climate change.

As a certified young 'un, I always wondered how people in my parents' generation went to so many concerts. Especially during their college days, minimum wage jobs and all. Now I know!

Babe, wake up, new hillbilly slang just dropped!

Completely agree. It's a movement that preys on vulnerable young people, so unfortunately they're able to recruit new members even in today's society. I hope in my lifetime we'll see the end of this ideology, but that's probably a pipe dream...

I completely agree. Physically going to the polls is a big deal, and it takes privilege to be able to make it out there. But we've got it made in WA! There's hardly any excuse, even if you aren't that informed and just vote along party lines.

Are our pamphlets really that rare? I've lived here my whole life so I just assumed that's how most places did it. They're a super helpful resource.

Thank you. I did too, and yes, though life can be tiresome and stressful, we can rest easier in the knowledge that we at least showed up in this small yet significant way. My sibling hasn't voted yet, probably can't be bothered to, and it upsets me a lot.

Nice photo! It's the most wonderful time of the year 🦌

Finally, a sensible Washingtonian!
