#i wish she'd write another book it's been 7 years sarah

[buckybarnesss]

one of my favorite books is partly cloudy patriot by sarah vowell. i used to re-read it every election but the last time i tried i couldn’t finish it because [waves hands] generally everything. 

today is election day.

“All of which is to say, look up the word suffrage in the dictionary. In mine, after noting the main meanings - the privilege of voting, the “exercise of such a right,” the third interpretation of suffrage is this: “A short intercessory prayer.” Isn’t that beautiful? And true? For what is voting if not a kind of prayer, and what are prayers if not declarations of hope and desire?” p.85

i don’t want ron desantis to be governor anymore and yet i find it hard to believe there’s any justice in the godless hell hole that is florida.
