If you live and vote in California, I hope by now you've heard that there is an election happening on September 14th. You may have even gotten your ballot in the mail already.
An election? In September? Yes. A stupid one.
You see, some Republicans got Big Mad at Governor Gavin Newsom when he made the decision to lockdown the state last year at the beginning of the pandemic. They decided to start a petition to remove (recall) him from office. California's state constitution allows voters to remove the governor via recall election if they get enough signatures.
How many signatures, you ask? 12% of the total votes cast in the previous election for the office of the person being recalled, or in this case, 1.5 million.
Yeah. That's all. Out of a state of nearly 40 million people. A state that is the 5th largest economy in the world.
Just 1.5 million people need to sign an official recall petition for a statewide vote to remove the governor from office.
(If you didn't know, a recall election is how California got Arnold Schwarzenegger for governor in 2003.)
If a simple majority (50% + 1 vote) of voters choose YES on their ballots, Gavin Newsom will be removed from office and whomever of the 46 candidates on the ballot gets more votes than anyone else (not even a majority vote, just more than the other candidates) will become California's new governor.
The current (as of today, August 20th) frontrunners are a very right-wing talk radio host named Larry Elder, and a real estate broker/YouTube personality named Kevin Paffrath. Neither have what you would call "political experience."
(Caitlin Jenner is also running. Just in case you were wondering.)
How do you get on a recall ballot in California? To replace the governor, the highest office in the state? Well, you need to complete the arduous task of forking over about $4000 and getting 7500 signatures of real Californians saying they back you as a candidate.
Yeah. That's all.
Oh, and just having this election is costing CA taxpayers over $250 million dollars.
So what's at stake if Newsom gets recalled?
Majority control of the US Senate.
You see, Senator Dianne Feinstein is 88 years old this year. She's been Senator since 1992. If she falls too ill to continue her duties, if she resigns, if she dies while in office, California does not hold a Senatorial election.
The governor appoints a replacement.
This is how we got our current junior Senator, Alex Padilla, after Kamala Harris was inaugurated as Vice President.
Let me say that again.
The governor appoints a replacement Senator if Dianne Feinstein cannot complete her term.
If enough people vote to recall Gavin Newsom, and a Republican, or Libertarian, or, let's be honest, any inexperienced wet sack that can be bought off by the highest bidder, takes his place, they will very possibly appoint a Republican Senator to replace Dianne Feinstein and put that fuckface Mitch McConnell back in control of the US Senate.
So please, please, if you're a Californian, make sure you're registered to vote, get your ballot, and vote NO on this stupid waste of money recall election.

I really want to boost this indie game called Venba that is currently in development at Visai Games.
It’s a narrative game about cooking, where you play as an Indian mom who has moved to Canada in the 1980s. Your recipe book is damaged, so you’ll have to restore those lost recipes, while also having branching conversations with your family, and of course, cooking Indian food.
There’s a Steam page for the game up here, and here’s the developers’ Twitter.
This is the sort of game that can easily fly under the radar, so please help boost an original game with a unique premise!

11.4.20. California
Uber and Lyft spent $205 million to buy a labor law to continue underpaying their workers. Prop 22, America’s most expensive ballot campaign, prevents Uber and Lyft workers from being reclassified as “employees” under a new California labor law. The law requires an unprecedented 7/8ths majority in the state legislature to alter, and it severely limits workers’ ability to organize and negotiate. For companies looking to maximize profit through lower labor costs, they may soon be able to reclassify employees as “independent contractors” (or gig work).

hey i’m sorry but me and my mom really need help. we’re homeless and both disabled. because of our disabilities, being homeless has been extremely hard on us - especially on my mom, who is 59 with her health deteriorating day by day. not to mention that it’s over 100 degrees f almost everyday where we are (not to mention that it’s monsoon season and if it’s not the heat it’s severe storms and flooding), and this just puts more of a toll on us. we’ve exhausted our search for any local help and nothing has worked out so we’re on our own. my mom gets disability payments but it is not enough to survive off of. we literally just need help surviving as long as possible until we can figure something out bc this is an actual deadly situation and i just don’t know what to do. literally any amount would help us so much, and if you can’t/don’t want to donate then reblogging this would be very much appreciated. thank you for taking the time to read this.

Hey everyone. It’s honestly humiliating having to be here once again begging for money, yet here I am. I am a mentally ill, trans/nonbinary and bisexual black mixed person struggling to pay for their medication and doctors bills.
(this doesn’t even include the additional $80 bill I have for my general physician)
I currently have $21 which isn’t even enough to pay for one of my medications I need to function. I especially cannot afford to go off antidepressants cold turkey because that will force me to go through horrible withdrawals.
I do have the possibility of a better job lined up, but it’s not a guarantee. I have exhausted all my options at this point. I am frustrated, I am scared, and more than anything I am tired.
To cover me till the rest of the year I have a lofty goal, but it’s in the hopes that it will give me the wiggle room I need to pay for food, gas, hygiene products, pet food, my meds, and future bills without putting myself in further debt. My goal is $1000, but literally anything is gonna be a big help to me at this point.

If you're a fanfiction author and you haven't done this already, start backing up all of your fics on a Google Drive.
When Post+ goes live (it will despite the backlash - Tumblr is owned by Automattic who also owns WordPress), it's going to be mass purge of fandom accounts.
You've probably already seen the posts going around stating that if you make fanworks, you legally cannot monetize. As soon as the idiots at Automattic realize this, they're going to purge fan creators. Why? Because they're also going to be dealing with lawsuits, not just the creators.
And they can write out all of the rules and terms and warnings they want before a user signs up for Post+, but that isn't gonna stop all of the fandom babies from Wattpad coming in thinking they can make money off of writing fanfiction. So the solution? Shadow banning all people who create for fandoms, driving us into a dark corner, and ultimately kicking us off the platform so it can bring in more outsiders and normies, therefore becoming more appealing to investors and advertisers.
I implore you, please read up on the history of fandoms and the great purges of fan content here and try to tell me that's not where we're headed.

Hi, my name is zack
This last couple weeks have been really hard on my family and me
We lost two cousins due to COVID complications, both of them where pretty young still, around 30
Their passing leaves a hole on their mother's heart, who lived with them and who depended on both of them financially
To add to the pain, one of them leaves behind a daughter
Last night the youngest one passed away, and his family was hit with the cost of the cremation
They need 500$ to pay for it
So im asking for donations as i want to help them and i am the one that haves a bigger reach
I appreciate any reblogs this post gets
And please, wear your masks, my cousins where essential workers and they had to deal with a lot of people on the daily
By wearing your mask you can help stop spreading the virus
Thank you for your time
