Calling All Destroyers
Jul. 5th, 2023 10:28 pmI am involved in numerous TTRPGs, and all of them are on temporary hiatus because people are on vacation. How am I supposed to cope with this?
The August Special Election in Ohio is bearing down on us, and for once I'm heartened by what I've seen. We're usually ignored by national voting organizations, but that hasn't been the case this time around. Field Team 6, Blue Wave Postcard Movement and Vote Forward have all run voter registration and GOTV campaigns in preparation for this moment. I have already done work for the first two; I plan to continue my work with BWPM for their Phase 2 program (GOTV postcards) and also do as many Vote Forward letters as possible. This election is vital - if Issue 1 passes, it will permanently eliminate our ability to amend the Ohio constitution with a simple majority. I'm not fond of minority rule, and neither is![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
aseanchai . This will be his first election as an American citizen. He is very excited to make his voice heard.
I've been involved in "postal activism" since early 2017. Writing letters and postcards to voters is perfect for me - I can do it on my own schedule, and it's a great option if you're introverted like I am. I've found a bunch of opportunities via the Reddit community VoteDEM, which is a great place to learn more about candidates and volunteer opportunities. The general vibe of the place reminds me a bit of some of the old LiveJournal communities that were dedicated to political discourse. I had hoped to find similar communities here on Dreamwidth, but unfortunately the political communities I've come across here seem to have been abandoned. I don't really have the time to moderate a community on my own, though I wish I did. There are undoubtedly people on this site who know what's at stake. If even a handful of them got involved in volunteer efforts, it could make a huge difference.
In other news,aseanchai and I need a new couch. Our current one isn't doing us any favors. aseanchai is going to take a look at ways that we can save money toward that goal; while we're doing fine money-wise, we also don't want to dip into our savings if we can avoid it. I guess this means that I'll need to come up with more one page RPG ideas for our Itch page and learn how to use RPG Maker MV. It's easier to save if you have some extra cash coming in.
