Voter turnout in my county was only 52%. I don't recall how that compares to previous elections, but I am still disappointed. Why do people not vote?

Sophia, three of my takeaways from chemo were 1) hydrate! 2) stay ahead of nausea, and 3) support your immune system (take extra steps to avoid infection).

When I started losing scalp hair, I just went ahead and shaved it all off. The only fun was when a few of my relatives mistook me for one of my bald cousins.

Sophia, you could probably do this yourself, but let me know if you'd like a crochted cap or two.

As much as it would upset people at work that I say this, sometimes I get the not-voting thing. Even I, who have spent decades, more or less, all "Go voting--it's your birthday," can't help but see what the political press might call a "marked contrast" between the promise and what I live every day. Usually, it's not like this, either. Usually I have to pretend I'm psyched about something I settled for, ie, Bidenomics. Some people aren't going to bother, but I do because I'm stubborn af. And changes, unless we're talking Mamdani don't show up very fast...faith in voting is kind of a long-game thing.

Even if I kind of think it's dumb that we still vote on Tuesday because farmers had it on market day

My county only turned out at 33.7%, which seems pretty dismal. I feel like everyone I know votes but I don't actually know that for a fact - do the people I work with or my neighbors? I don't know, we don't talk about politics because that could become terrible very fast, and that has turned into not even talking about civic engagement at all.

def don't get my brother's friend picking getting schnockered over his first ballot, aside from knowing that's alcoholic. there are lots of opportunities in this state to vote and THEN get wasted. (Yeah, hire me to write your slogan, it would be awesome!)
