I realize I’m 2 years late to this, but I’m just now digging in and trying to understand the full effects of Brexit, and it’s truly astonishing. I knew it would have the usual protectionist effects like higher prices and whatnot, but there’s a not improbable chance Britain runs out of food. They’re scrambling to make sure planes will still have access to the country. Important scientific research is stalling because British scientists can’t secure funding. And I’m still not sure what the argument for it is except something about regulations and telling your Polish maid she’s not wanted.

Airports are fucking weird. Like I’m dressed like it’s ‘95 drinking wine and there’s a dude in a three pieced suit next to me, someone in pajamas, someone who looks like they’re going to the gym after this, and like a million button up shirts.
Update. I’m hammered.
Second update: I’m sober now but very fucking tired and in a different airport.
Additionally: I have no idea where the fuck I am
Important information: I’m fairly sure Douglas Adams was just fucking paged??? What the hell???
Have you checked if you’re alive?
Buddy I haven’t cared about blood pumping through my veins since 1920. You just gotta move on and do your own thing.
So you’re saying there’s a chance you’re tumblring your ‘airport’ adventures from the afterlife?
im saying it doesnt matter because i have access to the internet
Something I drew for this year! I’m going to reblog this every two weeks until November because I really do think that this is important.
Here’s a reminder again! Also, because of the supreme court ruling along party lines to uphold voter registration purges in Ohio, take this also as a reminder to check your registration status!
Ohio uses two methods to keep track of any changes. The first is to double-check voter addresses against the U.S. Postal Service’s change-of-address database. If there’s a match, the state then mails a notice to the original residence and strikes the voter from the rolls if they don’t reply or cast a ballot within four years.
Federal election laws are designed to allow this method, and most states use some form of it. But Ohio takes it a step further. To find ineligible voters who didn’t tell the Postal Service that they moved, the state also uses what it calls the “Supplemental Process”: Election officials mail notices to voters who have gone two years without casting a ballot, changing their voter registration, or otherwise engaging in what the state calls “voter activity.” If the voter doesn’t mail back the notice and doesn’t cast a ballot for the next four years, he or she is stricken from the rolls.
And as of June 2018, the Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision, has decided that this does not violate the National Voter Registration Act. So laws similar to this might spread to other states.
