Ships of the Open Circle Armada were easily recognized by the distinctive red-and-yellow emblem painted onto their hulls. The heraldic emblem consisted of a yellow circle that was formed by two separate semi-circle arcs. One arc represented Kenobi, the other, Skywalker. The image signified that while they were both two independent halves, together they formed a single entity. – Wookieepedia

Okay heads up for all Americans eligible to vote:
The Supreme Court just issues a ruling allowing Ohio and other states to purge voters from their election registration rolls due to their failure to cast a ballot in previous elections.
This is a major victory for the Trump administration and the GOP, and a direct consequence of the Supreme Court being stacked with more conservative judges (the votes were 5-4). This is also a huge part of what Trump/the GOP were counting on to save them in the 2018 midterm elections, which is where Democrats have been hoping to take back a majority in the House, giving them more power to combat Trump’s abuses of power and Republican legislation.
What this means is YOU CAN NOT ASSUME THAT YOU ARE REGISTERED for the 2018 elections, just because you SHOULD be. Thanks to this decision, red states can purge voters’ registration based on their not having cast a ballot in even just previous federal elections, NOT just the national Presidential elections. Effectively, if you haven’t voted in previous senate races or for congressional representatives in the past few years, that’s all they need now to say you’re no longer registered and need to register again.
They’re deliberately counting on people assuming they’re still registered and so not checking until after registration deadlines have passed, or showing up to vote this November and only then finding out they’re no longer registered, when its too late to do a damn thing about it.
And this is absolutely targeted at marginalized communities, low income voters, disabled voters, and basically anyone who simply can’t always AFFORD to keep on top of every federal election and show up to vote in every senate race, etc. Which not so coincidentally happen to be all the communities and voters who have the most to gain from Democratic victories in the 2018 midterms and are the least likely to cast votes for GOP candidates at this point.
This was absolutely a calculated effort aimed specifically at keeping the GOP in power with a majority control of the government come November, and unfortunately, it has a DAMN good chance of accomplishing just that if it goes by unacknowledged. I’m not looking to alarm or panic anyone, simply to say:
If you are a registered voter in a red state at this point, please please please do not take your registered status as assumed. Check on your registration status, look up all relevant voter registration deadlines for your state and district, CIRCLE THAT SHIT ON YOUR CALENDAR, and check your registration status AGAIN right before those deadlines pass, so you can be sure of it before its too late to do anything about it til the next voting cycle.
Yikes
Reblog this shit right now
Here’s a Twitter thread with resources for voters in every state to check on their registration status: https://twitter.com/AnaMardoll/status/1006221580458790912
Make sure you check it periodically because the newest voter roll purges likely haven’t happened yet.
Y’all, seriously, if you’re able to vote, make sure you’re registered now. Dozens of states are doing their damnedest to make it hard for you, including requiring you to register months before elections.
Vote in this election, please. There’s a census coming up, with a redraw of voting districts. If republicans are still in control, they’re going to gerrymander the fuck out of it.
Once again reminded that I would make a very poor Jedi. I may not get jealous like Certain People but I don’t think I’d go for punching the asshole for unwanted touching of women, I’d head straight for the lightsabering off of hands.

Weird request but can someone please tell me to eat? Currently able to come up with lots of reasons I shouldn’t and no reason I should and flailing about in the “I don’t deserve to eat anyway” place
Current mood: going through the blog of someone who posted something critical of men like “I stg if this is another fucking TERF taking a back hand swing at trans women…”
why is my brain like ‘ah i see you consumed caffeine now it is time to PANIC’?
So character A can have all the mental health issues in the world and I’m fine with it, whether it’s written from his perspective or not
but if it’s character B then instant trigger
good to know but not fun to figure out.

and rwby is continuing to careen down the course of pushing aside interesting girls in favor of quite frankly mediocre boys and i’m getting rather frustrated.
Seriously all the girls are so much more INTERESTING. An episode with no jaune and no sun and no oscar and shit is actually GOOD again. Yang snapping and breaking things because her family (blood and found) was insulted? Weiss’s concern for her? RAVEN AND HER MORAL GREYNESS AND BARELY TOUCHED UPON BACKSTORY? This is awesome. give me an entire show of this instead of the ‘stalking is okay if it’s in her best interest’ BULLSHIT
