Go vote today, Texas! This weekend is the only early voting weekend! Make a plan, please.

The Other Place is quite a conundrum for me: yes, it can be super toxic and vile in places, but that's not universal. It's also more diverse in POVs and more up-to-date. The perspective of the 🇦🇷 shows there is wildly different. I'm going to skip the 🇦🇷 cinema livestreams and see 🇧🇷 instead.
