Hey guys the Seminole Tribe of Florida has officially stated Cesar Sayoc, the Republican terrorist who was sending pipe bombs around is NOT a member of the tribe, has never been, and his claims as such are FALSE. [Link]

it is tiring, being endless political just as someone existing. my teacher asks me if i’m writing more of that “feminist poetry.” a lot of it is just talking about me, being a woman, being afraid in the city. i write about walking a line, about how i am expected to choose between home and work, how each comes with a slew of its own insults; how it feels when i am wearing shorts and there are too many men outside. these are just facts of my life. someone in the comments says, “where are woman even coming up with these crazy generalizations in their feminism?”

i hold hands with the prettiest girl i’ve ever seen and someone sighs when they see me. “do they have to make everything gay?” she asks her friend, loudly, “like, do you have to force those views in my face all the time?” i can’t stop blushing. my girlfriend holds my fingers tighter, tighter, tighter, until my knuckles are white, and i let her. somehow, this is us, protesting.

my father’s cuban blood stains my skin, i think. when i am honored with a position in the dean’s private council, a boy sneers, “you only got in because you’re hispanic.” did i? i spend the rest of our meetings wondering if i was selected for my stellar academic record, for the multiple recommendations, for the clubs i lead – or if i was just a move the dean made, to make use of me. when we all take a picture, the dean brings me in the front. in the first three we take, i am not smiling.

it is odd. “i exist.” i say, “i deserve to exist.”

“oh my god,” he groans, “we get it, you’re a feminist.”

Y’all should be paying attention to the midterms.

running for a senate seat in Texas is the zodaic killer himself ted cruz and new comer to the senate beto o rourke.

now lemme tell you about my man

Beto O’ Rourke

he’s a democrat, something texas desperately needs. He:

• is pro choice
• supports lgbtq rights
• supports funding for the EPA and NOAA
• supports rejoining the Paris Accords
• supports decriminalizing marijuana
• doesn’t take special interest group or PAC/Super PAC donations (sounds like a certain Bernie Sanders
• is entirely people funded

also notable: unlike cruz, beto would not have voted to confirm kavanaugh.

beto being elected would be huge for texas. as someone from there, lemme tell you, he’s someone the state sorely needs. texas is in desperate need of a democrat and Beto is our best bet. in recent polls, cruz was shown to be ahead, but not by much. cruz. cannot. win.

there are ways you can help! if you live in Texas, you can sign up to volunteer. you can volunteer to do things such as send texts, emails, knock on doors. typical campaign stuff.

if you don’t live in Texas, you can donate. you don’t have to live in the state to donate. donating is one of the best ways you can support him because it funds his campaign! as mentioned above, he doesn’t take PAC money. he is 100% grassroots campaign, funded by people, for people.

i’m going to reiterate this. any us citizen* can donate. any. doesn’t matter where you live in the united states. so, I urge. if you don’t live in texas, donate. the average donation amount is $35, but any amount will help.

*if you don’t live in the united states/aren’t a citizen, legally you cannot donate. i don’t make the rules guys.

if you can’t donate, please reblog this so others can see it. people can’t vote in midterms if they don’t know who their nominees are.

this midterm election is crucial. getting Beto into the senate is crucial. reblog or donate!

Man I’m not even from Texas but I love this guy!!!

Also?! Is a babe

Seriously! I’m no longer in Texas, but this guy had my vote. Every vote especially counts in Texas, where it’s so fucking huge.

I LOVE BETO. Fellow Texans, you really should vote for him. He is a good guy and would be good for us.

Bae-to

he is also the hottest thing to come out of Texas in 2018
