Note: Apologies for the delayed post, I have recently been promoted to an even more time-consuming role at work which is making it very difficult for me to continue onlineĀ āas usualā. Iāll try my best to do better next month~.
In the town I live in, thereās only one place to get the state-required voter ID. Itās way out beyond the end of the bus line, and its hours are inconvenient and unpredictable. Also, the IDs cost like $30; the people who passed the voter ID law obviously didnāt think that was a budget-breaker for anyone who MATTERED.
If you have difficulty getting a voter ID, here are some thoughts:
– Contact a church. (I wish I could say contact ANY church, but to be honest, if you look unconventional, and you donāt know which churches in your town are the progressive ones, look for a Unitarian church. I suspect most synagogues would be more helpful than most evangelical churches, but I donāt know that from personal experience.)
When I was a church secretary, if someone had called and said, āI want to register to vote, but I donāt have a car and I donāt have $30 for an ID,ā Iām pretty sure our entire governing board would have been lining up to help you out.
In this part of the country, nuns are a good bet, too.
– Contact the local Democratic Party office.
– Contact a YMCA or a YWCA. Did you know that fighting racism is actually part of the Yās charter? Pretty sure somebody in that office will be able to help you get the ID you need to register.
– Go to your townās website and look for a pro-diversity organization ā a Multicultural Awareness Center, something like that. Give them a call.
– Call your library reference desk and ask if they know of anyone who could help.
I donāt actually think this would help, but it would be interesting: Call the local office of your senators and your representative, and ask if they can help you get a voter ID. At least it might be entertaining to hear them sputter.
Public librarian seconding theĀ āask your libraryā recommendation here. My library has multiple nonprofits tabling in the lobby to register voters in September and October, we have packets of legal information at the circ desk, we have every local government contact number and email there is, and we want to help you vote.
Due to an ask that we received, Iāve decided to make a reading order for Miles Morales. This list is very basic, but it should be helpful as an introduction to his character. I do plan on making a more in-depth post about Miles in the near future.
Feel free to let me know if something should be added, or if something is in the wrong order.
Terry Crews came out and admitted he had been sexually assulted by someone in the film industry, and is now being blacklisted. I have been a fan of his since Idiocracy, and will continue to support all of his work.
So when you wonder why people donāt come forward with their assults, this is why.
Where are all the bitch men who ask about male sexual assault when the focus is on women but are dead silent when men are actually at the focus.Ā Ā
Itās almost as if Menās Rights Activists donāt really care about menās rights. Hmmmā¦.

Yepā¦.
This misses the really powerful piece of the story: Terry Crews was the one who chose not to do the movie. One of the producers told him, essentially, that he could either do the movie and be drop the sexual assault charges, or continue with the trial and haveĀ ātroublesā. Terry dropped out because he felt standing against abusers was more important than his film career.
Itās bullshit that he was threatened in the first place, of course, but his response was ballsy. I admire him for it.
