Something about the idea that voting for president only matters if you live in a swing state, and that all the people in blue states or red states can indulge themselves in principled nonparticipation because the outcomes are preordained, strikes me as akin to playing with fire.

Is it really coherent to say "both sides are awful, write in Mickey Mouse or burn your ballot or just stay home and get drunk, unless you live in Pennsylvania, in which case maybe consider taking one for the team and compromising yourself by voting for the lesser evil?" Is that really the message that will lead to a preferable outcome?

What it sounds like to me is a sign that 1) you take your local electorate for granted, and 2) you see avoiding the worst case scenario as somebody else's problem.

I remember when Florida was a swing state. I also remember when Pennsylvania wasn't.

hi! im not sure if you still answer asks asking for book recs but i figured ill just shoot my shot

i saw your book rec flow chart (which--wow, the amount of effort and care that went into that, i cant appreciate it enough) and in it you described radio silence as about finding a best friend which got me wondering if you had any other book recs like that?

(sidenote your book recommendation tag is a goldmine for queer book recs, you have excellent taste)

I am ALWAYS up for giving book recs! and I'm so glad to hear that the flow chart has been helpful!

as for other books about finding a best friend, I gotta say Radio Silence and Loveless are basically the cream of the crop. a few others that fall into that category:

i want to be a wall - this manga series is about an asexual woman and a gay man who get married to stop their families from bothering them, and their friendship is the sweetest thing I've ever read!!!!

what stalks among us - a ya horror about two best friends stuck in an unending corn maze, featuring a super strong platonic bond

tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow - this wasn't a favorite of mine for entirely unrelated reasons, but I did love the friendship at the heart of it

a psalm for the wild-built - I ADORE Dex and Mosscap's friendship

in other lands - this has a prominent romance, but even more important is the friendship between the main trio

strangeworlds travel agency - a middle grade fantasy adventure with a delightful male-female friendship that makes my heart so warm!

the raven cycle - I mean, all of these characters are in love with each other. if you want friendships so strong they rewrite reality, to the extent that the author said that "the worst thing that could happen is that they could stop being friends," this is the series for you
