In Texas you must request to be registered, you cannot register online (the form is mailed or hand-carried to HQ), and you must be registered 30 days before an election to vote in it. So if you’re not registered by Oct 7, you’re not voting in Texas this election. Check your reg!

In much of the US, it’s the last week to register to vote in the US election in November. Do not miss your opportunity (and if you are registered, to check your registration to make sure it is still valid). Get registered and encourage everyone you know to register. Here’s where to start: Vote.gov

Register to vote in your state | Vote.gov

Find the information you need to make registration and voting easy. Official voter registration website of the United States government.

Love American disaster relief, where after you lose everything there’s a cop there to make sure you know that trying to save your own life is looting.

PayPal is updating their ToS to let themselves give your data to merchants starting in November and they're certainly banking on people not knowing to opt out, SO to opt out before they start: go to Settings > Data & Privacy > Manage shared info > Personalized shopping, and toggle that shit off

So with Cohost shutting down in about 24 hours, a note to every remaining social media site: You should totally rip off the "Following" pane. On the left: Everyone you follow, sorted by last post. Click a follow, and the right pane shows you their recent posts.

Please kind to each other. It's scary AF right now.
