ettingermentum has just published an excellent guide to protest voting state-by-state. for those of you who are bemoaning your choice between biden and trump, for those of you who are against genocide, and for those of you want to utilize your civic duty to vote: this is how you can pressure joe biden for a ceasefire
Earlier this week, when I was talking with my girlfriend about the Michigan primary results, she asked me if we could also vote uncommitted in our state’s primary. Since we live in Georgia, I knew that we didn’t have that option, so I told her that it wasn’t possible and that I personally planned to use my ballot to write in Jane Fonda. Then she asked me if that vote would be counted, which made me realize something: I didn’t know if it would. I looked it up, and and after a bit of searching, I learned that the answer was no. As a Georgia voter, I have to either vote for one of the three names on the ballot or a “validated write-in candidate” or my vote will be discarded. My year-old plan to vote for Jane had always been DOA, and I had never known it until that moment. This got me thinking. If I, someone who writes about politics for a living, didn’t know the exact procedures for a protest vote in my primary in my own state, how many prospective uncommitted voters out there actually know what their options are? I presumed that someone out there had published a guide for how to protest vote in each state, but, at least as far as I can tell, such a guide does not exist. To remedy this problem, I decided to create a guide myself. The following is the first ever state-by-state, territory-by-territory cheat sheet for how you can, and cannot, cast a protest vote against this administration in your upcoming Democratic primary.
Category 1: Can Vote Uncommitted
This is the simplest and most straightforward category. In these states and territories, voters are given a Michigan-style uncommitted option on their ballots. These ballots are fully counted in the results like votes for any of the named candidates. If the total uncommitted vote reaches 15% statewide or in a congressional district, it will be awarded delegates.
Although some of these states have additional protest voting options in addition to uncommitted, selecting the uncommitted line is the most direct and straightforward way to register an anti-Biden vote. If available, it should be chosen over all other options, including write-ins, blank ballots, or votes for named candidates like Dean Phillips or Marianne Williamson.
State/territory list:
March 5th: Alabama, Colorado (Called “Noncomitted”), Iowa (Mail-only Caucus), Massachusetts (Called “No Preference”), Minnesota, North Carolina (Called “No Preference”), Tennessee, American Samoa
March 6th: Hawaii
March 12th: Northern Mariana Islands, Washington, Democrats Abroad
March 19th: Kansas
March 23rd: Missouri
April 2nd: Connecticut, Rhode Island, Wisconsin
April 6th: Alaska (Called “Undeclared”)
April 13th: Wyoming (Caucus, Called “Undeclared”)
May 14th: Maryland
May 21st: Kentucky
May 23rd: Idaho (Caucus)
June 4th: Montana (Called “No Preference”), New Jersey, New Mexico
June 8th: Virgin Islands
Category 2: No Uncommitted Option, But Can Vote Write-Ins
Following the set of states and territories that provide straightforward uncommitted option, we reach a small, unique category of primary contests. These states do not provide an uncommitted option, but they do allow for write-in votes, and they take the unique step of tallying every single one of these write-ins in their vote totals. This allows for voters to vote for whoever they want, from Abraham Lincoln to the demiurge, and still see their ballots counted in a broad “write-in” pile of general dissent.
Unlike uncommitted votes, write-in votes will not be able to win delegates as a category—they are only tallied together as a group convenience on election results pages for the sake of convenience. Legally, they all represent votes for entirely different candidates. While it would technically be possible for a write-in candidate to win delegates if they hit the required benchmarks through write-in votes for them, there are currently no efforts to coordinate this. As such, feel free to vote for whoever or whatever you want if you live in these states or territories.
State/territory list:
March 5th: Vermont
May 21st: Oregon
June 4th: Washington, D.C.
Category 3: No Uncommitted Option, Most Write-Ins Not Tallied, But Blank Votes Tallied
Right on the heels of the previous small list with very specific rules is another small list with even more specific rules. Like Category 2, these states do not provide an option to vote uncommitted, but allow for write-ins. Where they differ from the Category 2 states is that they do not count most write-ins in their overall tallies. To save time, only write-in votes for “qualified” write in candidates are considered valid and counted. This means that any write-in vote that says something like “ceasefire,” “uncommitted,” and, yes, “Jane Fonda,” will be discarded.
For most states that do this and don’t provide an uncommitted option, this rules out the possibility of a protest vote beyond voting for the named candidates. These states are the exception, however. Unlike most states, they count blank ballots in their totals. While blank ballots cannot earn delegates, they are counted as a bloc, making them a clear statement of opposition to Biden that avoids providing support for Phillips or Williamson. As such, it is best to send back ballots in these states.
State/territory list:
March 5th: Maine
March 30th: North Dakota (Caucus)
April 2nd: New York
April 28th: Puerto Rico
Category 4: No Uncommitted Option, Most Write-Ins Not Counted, Blank Ballots Not Counted
Category 4 states have easily the most delegates of any section on this list. Unfortunately, they’re also where the options for protest votes become sharply limited. These states have similar rules as Category 3 states. They don’t provide an uncommitted ballot line and don’t tally write-in votes except for those given to qualified write-in candidates. What makes them different from Category 3 states is that they also don’t count blank votes in their tallies.
To register a non-Biden vote in the tallies here, you have to vote for someone pre-approved by the state, whether that be a named candidates on the ballot or a qualified write-in candidate. For most states, this leaves you with Dean Phillips and/or Marianne Williamson if you want your vote to count. Feel free to choose between the two at your own discretion, although you can always vote for another listed candidate or even prick someone from your state’s list of qualified write-in candidates if you really want to avoid voting for either of them.
State/territory list:
March 5th: California (Both Dean and Marianne on ballot), Texas (D and M), Virginia (D and M), Utah (D and M)
March 12th: Georgia (D and M)
March 19th: Arizona (D and M), Illinois (D and M), Ohio (Dean only)
April 23rd: Pennsylvania (Dean only)
May 14th: Nebraska (Dean only), West Virginia (Dean only)
Category 5: No Uncommitted Option, No Write-in Option, Blank Ballots Not Counted
Category 5 is very similar to Category 4, except with one difference. Instead of just making the write-in option functionally useless, these states don’t provide it at all. There’s no way to get around voting for one of the named candidates of you want to cast a protest vote in these states.
State/territory list:
March 5th: Arkansas (D and M), Oklahoma (D and M)
March 12th: Mississippi (No D or M or anyone else. Biden will just get 100% of the vote here. They’re still holding the contest, though.)
March 23rd: Louisiana (D and M)
June 4th: South Dakota (D and M)
June 8th: Guam (Candidate list currently unavailable)
Category 6: No Primary
Here’s the strangest section of them all. These states just cancelled their primaries and handed all of their delegates to Biden. They won’t let you vote against him even if you want to!
State/territory list: Florida and Delaware

voting 'uncommitted' aka utilizing the protest vote is now one of the key strategies to let the biden administration know exactly what you think of their policies. it doesn't affect your vote in november, but it does very much affect the US policies being enacted on the ground in gaza right now.
think of it as a "fuck you" to joe biden, in the most democratic way possible.
you're not abstaining. you're not voting third party. you're not voting for trump. this is a protest vote. you're exercising your civic rights and letting joe biden know: fuck you.
should i vote for the party that locks up thousands of black people or the party that locks up thousands of black people?

Hi, I'm JD, a disabled Chilean trans man who needs help getting my government disability pension. I have been in the process since August of 2022 since most days I cannot leave the house due to my disability. I am in the final part of the process, but recently have found out that the office responsible for sending my paperwork on to the next stage has simply not done so and they are overdue by 3 months. This means that I now have to go all the way to Santiago in person, which I can't do alone because again! Disabled as fuck!
Please help me reach 120$ USD which will cover mine and my mom's travel costs so that I can get the pension I was denied even though I can hardly walk. Any bit helps ❤️

We've had great reception so far and I'm so happy with the enthusiasm the event's bringing! On that note, there were a couple of questions that I answered privately that I'd like to clarify

"What's the minimum wordcount?" Answer: 6k for one-shots and 10k for multichaps
"When are the fics/art pieces due?" Answer: The current soft deadline is October 1st, giving you about 3 and a half months to work on them! More details about the schedule will be found in the discord once its up!
Please, if you haven't already, consider joining! We're looking for more of everything to properly consider this a "big" bang, and we'd be happy to have you! Specifically we'd like a few more writers & betas, but we wouldn't say no to more artists! Mod sign-ups are still open as well if you'd be interested. The forms can be found on the blog
Thank you all!
The last character you drew/wrote about is now stuck in the last game you played. How screwed are they?
you can't waste your life btw it's just not something that's possible to do. your mere existence is already a precious and valuable use of your time. the time you spent becoming who you are now was inherently worthwhile
i don't care how 'cringe' or 'mary sue' you think your oc is. i think your oc is cool and i think you should talk about your oc more.
this applies to everyone
Fuck CGL. All Out For Wedzin Kwa!!!

Ok so!! Finally have time to write this hhrrrjghhrgrh
Wally and Terry friendship moments :]
I've spent the last two days thinking abojt nothing but this so please enjoy my rambling
Ok so Flash gets to the future because!! Either a villian or something to do with the speed force! He gets picked up by the League and is like!!!! Haha this is weird but I can roll with it
Ideas get messy here especially ao!! So like! Maybe Clark calls like an emergency league meeting or soemthing and everyone has to go so ofcourse Terry shows up
Wally already knows Barda and Clark so he's! Mostly pretty relaxed? He's cracking jokes and trying to keep everything light while they figure out how to get him back to the past
In comes Terry!!
They probably!! They'd probably just hang back a little and try to assess the situation like Bruce is alwasy telling him to. See what Wally is like ig!!
Wally notices Terry like really quickly because OBVIOUSLY THERES A NEW BATMAN!!
Throws some witty remarks or jokes (listen im not a writer idk wtf I'm doing) and to Wallys surprise! Batman ( Terry) actually throws one back.
Instant sort of connection!!
Also both Terry and Wally have ADHD and there's jsut. Like a connection there !
(I also headcanon Wally as only like. 20. He just. He's like the youngest and that's why he's basically the baby brother of the original league)
Terry gets to talking with Wally and Wally is all to happy to tell Terry about his adventures!! Especially the ones with Bruce hehe
They obviously start clowning on Bruce. It's over for him. No escape now!!
Wally is definitely a prankster! The harmless type not the like.. whatever you know what I mean probably!!
Anyway they both have a mischievous streak!! So clearly the best thing to do while trying to figure out how to go back is obviously pull some pranks!!
I'm super sleepy and I'll probably have more to say later but Terry and Wally definitely should become friends and hang out and drive Bruce and the rest of the League up the wall
:]
I love it dude!!!! Ty for these beautiful hcs- have my sketches as payment :3
the māori party has created a petition to change the official name of the country from new zealand to aotearoa. this is an incredibly important step in the verbal decolonisation of our whenua, of taking away the colonial name which was forced on us and giving us back the traditional te reo māori name which has important cultural meaning.
anyone can sign the petition, its not just limited to people in aotearoa!! please sign and share, we need to show parliament that there is a real interest in returning our country to tangata whenua!!!
R.I.P. The 2976 American people that lost their lives on 9/11 and R.I.P. the 48,644 Afghan and 1,690,903 Iraqi and 35000 Pakistani people that paid the ultimate price for a crime they did not commit
Ok i realized I just left something important out!! Like super important!!!! Whoops!!
Ok so!!!!
Ganondorf in the Dream Thing is trans!! Like!! Trans man!! Hes also Zelda's Uncle (related on her mom's side)
Ganon isn't the bad guy in this too!! He's just . Zelda's Uncle who wrestles bears and cries while reading poetry and romance novels!!
He decided to sort of. Make a positive light on the name Ganondorf because you know. Evil past Ganondorfs and such
Ganon also helped a lot during Zelda's transition due to being skilled with magic and also understanding what she was struggling with.
Ganondorf is also the reason Zelda is as wild as she is. He encouraged it lmao
When Link officially meets Zelda's family (because Zelda immediately adopted Link as her nibling- i think Firo might have something to say there Zelda) Gannon is like . Yeeess another child to corrupt haha!!
And then he teaches Link how to sneakily toss beads at people. Truly evil
Ok gonna go to sleep now!!!!! I want to draw tomorrow anf I have some ideas with our characters and stuff so!! Hahahajjksjsjs goodnight ily also!!! Loved the drawing its!! Very funny!!! And entirely accurate lmao
Mwah mwah!!!
!!! Nice!! I love :) uncle Gan :)))
Ok im really tired and about to go to sleep!!
So its a bits messy!! Onto the Dream story or whatever it doesn't have a name yet ahha.
So Link was raised by the Rito right?? But they're a hylian, so they originally came from a hylian settlement. So I was thinking like. Links village was ransacked by monsters and Link ran away. Not very far because they were very littke but q day afterwards the Rito fond them qnd take them in!! Either that or Link just popped into existence there which!!! I also wanna play around with because its just!! Such a funnyidea!! Anywa so one Rito in particular named Firo finds them, and Firo is maybe like. Four years older and he's just like. Haha what a weird rat im keeping it. Firo's mom is obviously shocked when her son comes over holding a HYLIAN CHILD DEAR GODESS ABOVE WHERE DID YOU GET HIM??? DID YOU. DID YOU STEAL SOMEONES CHILD FIRO????
That gets all settled and now Link has a new family that has no idea how to raise a Hylian child. Im working on names for Links Rito family so if u have any ideas please share :)
Ok now im getting into some shorter stuff!!!
Link injured his eye in the woods and irs one of the main reasons Rito Momma was so quick to take them in .
Firo helped teach Link Rito sign !!
Link is mostly mute?? Like, they have a very verybad stutter and would rather use sign but they technically can speak. Idk . Im projecting!!
Zelda is a gremlin child. Literally bouncing off walls anf eating dirt . But was very sweet too
Zelda is a very excitable person!! She loved reading and studying the stars and such!! But !! She also just loves to have a party!! And maybe fistfight someone haha
King Man (this id his name now) loves his daughter but she worries him. He's not even all that old. All the white in his hair is because of her.
Zelda and her Father have a very good relationship! She goes to her father to talk about anything that's bothering her, or asks to help him with court stuff
Zelda's mom is a bit more complicated! Like! Zeldas mom is very nice and she even helped teach Zelda to fight but she's not really. Good with emotions. Talking about them. But she loves to talk abou the book she's currently reading or just give pointers when Zelda is struggling in combat training
After defeating the big bad and all Zelda immediately is like. Link. Ur my new nibling.
Also she falls in love with "the really cool gerudo girl"
Link is tired and naps for a week
During the battle with the evil spirit, the spirit taunts Zelda for not being a real girl, and not having the true power of the goddess. After that everyone on the battle field could here Zelda screaming "HUH? HUH? I THINK YOU'RE JUST JEALOUS THAT IM A GIRL AND I HAVE A BIGGER DICK YHAN YOU LOL. COME AND FIGHT ME LIKE A MAN, BITCH, ILL TEAR YOU APART!! GONNA CRY??? HUH?? GONNA CRYY?? "
Link is absolutely mortified at the blatant transphobia and decides murder
They win. :)
I have a lot more ideas and most qre just goofy because I need more just. Funny little ideas because it helps dealing with the . Stressful turn life is taking rn ALSO! if u have anything to add on like. Names for characters or. Or ocs u wanna put in the story or ideas or anything!! Please feel free too!! Its all just silly stuff here :)
Im gonna sleep now love you platonically mwah mwah!!!
(Also I uh. I broke up with. With my gf. So.. mm . Im ok actually because of all the half-truths and . And I felt like I was being used and. It did t fell lik a real relationship but. Idk haha yikes lol)
