The only thing that would sway my vote this election is six text messages from an unidentified number during my work day.
"AOC comes in and it's exclusive"
She is no longer categorically deferred to 100% of the time so she exists in a perpetual simmering temper tantrum. Whatever anxiety MAGA types point to, this is the real one - queers or POC or non-Christians or whoever have Forgotten Their Place
The basement of Astro Beer Hall's watch party is gonna be filled with corpses from either alcohol poisoning or mass suicide on Tuesday and I don't there's an in-between.

Please, please, it's too much winning. We can't take it anymore. Mr. President, it's too much
Three gaming resolutions for next year, or really just when I'm done with my exam:
1) Pick Touhou back up and get the Normal clear (I was very close when I declared Study Dungeon)
2) Play my first non-convention Riichi tournament
3) Mod my 3DS and play Monomyth

Just saw Haley Stevens get swarmed by vote blue no matter who wine moms. There weren't even bones left.

Michigan, let’s win this together.

I spoke with Haley Stevens yesterday.
Feeling a bit absurd in pointing out the obvious and being far kinder than I should have been, I reminded her that the outcome of this senate race will be viewed in the light of a future Supreme Court vacancy, and I expressed a hope that all of us understand the stakes.
She assured me she's supporting Dr. El-Sayed, sent me a video of a recent speech she gave blasting Mike Rogers and said this: "Still stands. I promise."
She also said she's been sending this video to other folks to make it clear where she stands on this race.
Again: that was yesterday.
I have known Haley Stevens for years. I have counted her as a friend and an ally. We've had many thoughtful conversations about this country, and she has never failed to remind me that her mother is a fan of my writing.
Whatever other political differences we have, she has always made it clear to me she would stand with LGBTQ people. It was a red line she refused to cross.
Instead, she has made the inexplicable decision to endorse a man who views LGBTQ Americans as second-class citizens unworthy of full equality.
I can't help but wonder what her mother must be thinking right now.
I have no idea what has happened to the person I thought I knew, but clearly, she has completely taken leave of her senses in endorsing a Republican who is little more than a Trump sycophant -- less than 24 hours after promising me that she has not wavered from the bigger picture.
I am disgusted with her cynicism and cowardice in this moment. God forgive me for trusting her.
If you're a Michigan voter and as disgusted as I am, get to your polling place and vote for Dr. El-Sayed.

NEW GOTV MOTTO JUST DROPPED
Mallory McMorrow, quoted by The Washington Post
“Michigan could very well be the state that flips control of the Senate. …That’s what’s on the line. Nothing less. And Michiganders know it.”
“Cut the shit. Lock in. Knock doors. Get out the vote. That’s it.”

circling back
Mike Rogers has consistently supported extreme abortion bans and this radical agenda is out of touch with Michiganders. His position was rejected last year on Election Day and we'll do the same in 2026.

Pretty clear where the "vote blue no matter who" persuasion needs to be pointed and it's not random powerless trans people online whose fear makes you feel guilty.
Think the @HaleyforMI @AbdulElSayed saga is totally bonkers? The data agrees with you.
It’s also a part of a wider trend - the left’s donors don’t hold grudges. The establishment’s do
