[Image ID: A series of screenshots from a Twitter thread by Jason Coupet / professajay.

Text begins: Man voting in Georgia is so different than in Illinois. When I lived in chicago, during early voting, I went to the local elementary school, waited in line about ten minutes, and they gave me a sheet of paper. I checked people off then I put it in the machine and left.

Not Georgia. We drove downtown because *every* other polling place had a line >90 minutes. We paid ten bucks to park. We went in the building, then emptied out pockets to go through a metal detector. We then saw a sign about where to park to get our parking validated. Inside.

We then waited in line ~80 minutes. We got to the end and we were given a form to fill out (?). We were told *not* to sign it until told. Then we were moved into a waiting room where we were given a ticket number, like when you are at the dmv.

We were told to get our IDs out and wait. We waited here for 15-20 minutes. When your number is called they took your form, did some stuff on the computer, then told you to sign the form. Then you get a little green card. You insert it into the machine.

Then you go through three or four prompts, including a very serious™️ warning about perjury, a totally necessary warning given how huge a problem stolen identity is for the purposes of voting on behalf of someone else.

You then finally vote, and after an “are you sure” prompt you get a sheet. You then have to walk the sheet over to feed it into a machine. About half of these were working.

The bottleneck was clearly the weird application and waiting room thing. There are two dozen people at a time sitting to have their stuffed checked. Think of it as regular voting except when you got there they had to run a credit check for *each person* like you need financing.

It was easier finishing my PhD paperwork. Thankful for the kind people (nearly all black women) the shepherded the processes. But man if you are poor or disabled or whatever, good luck yo. That should have been easier. We finished tho. Text ends.

Image ID: Two Black people are standing beside a city street and smiling at the camera, a man and a woman. The man has close-cropped hair and a beard. He is wearing a black hoodie that says Southside and has a sticker on his chest with a peach on it. The woman has large tortoiseshell browline glasses and long twist locs. She has a light brown leather crossbody bag, and is wearing a salmon-colored windbreaker. She also has a peach sticker on her chest, which she is pointing to. Her hand has a wedding ring. End ID]

Since some of y'all do not know how to celebrate our achievements in space exploration:

Facts:

1) India became the 5th ever country to reach the moon surface back in 2008 with Chandrayaan-1.

2) India is the 1st ever country to soft-land the south pole of the moon and 4th country to soft-land on moon.

3) India has never physically placed a flag on moon- Only USA and China have physical flags on moon. 'Having a flag on moon' is said as a way to signify a country's presence on the moon through a mission.

Now from all the reactions I have seen, I can categorise them as follows:

1) Space enthusiasts: (Indians and non Indians) Wow! We have a rover in the south pole of moon now! For the first time ever! So proud.

2) Jingoists: YAYyyyy....India is has joined the group of the big bad countries with expensive space missions. Now we are in the same category as those countries who are known for their imperialism and power in world politics bahahahah. WE ARE ONE OF THEM (Modi hai mumkin hai)

3) H!ndu nat!onalists: "SomE coUnTrIeS hAvE FlAgs oN mOoN, oTHerS hAvE MooNs iN fLAgS". (Modi hai toh mumkin hai)

(2) and (3) are actively disrespecting the scientists, engineers and the whole team which made this possible, Out of their love for science and exploration and hard work to make this dream, People have had for decades, come true. They did not do this for small minded nationalism and religious politics.

Moving slightly away from the topic, Y'all were cheering for our Olympic wrestlers when they came home with medals and were very 'proud' of them. Same type of nationalistic things were said. But then y'all abandoned them, Even called them traitors, when they protested against a powerful BJP politician who was sexually harassing minors and women for several years. They asked for support and were met with ridicule. Till this date that person is roaming around free with only a non existent chance of holding him accountable.

So if you're proud of ISRO because y'all got to be jingoists and religious supremacists for a day then you may as well shut up and go back to school. This wasn't for YOU.

No fr I have a lot of opinions and thoughts, both historically informed and not, about western Catholicism's relationship to the Vatican and politics and how the information age has drastically made every little thing more insane and worse and yeah ofc there was significant religious discourse before this, but the average layperson was not dropping insane awful takes on ye olde twitter and whatever and like

Maybe we should all try to be a little more like those poor peasant schmucks!!!! Mind ya damn business! What is actually relevant to you? To your daily life? To your daily call and opportunities for The Good???

Also like smthn smthn faith like a little child smthn smthn. All shall be well!

#faith tag #sorry not sorry for political religious posting on main :)#i have been infinitely better w religion once i just. stopped paying attention to the clowns #i DO however thing that twitter thread is so funny #in an awful uncharitable schadenfreude way. oops.

im subscribed to like every company-specific employee subreddit i can find. i love to see whats up. its like being an omniscient fly in a breakroom with the occasional customer wandering in and going "why cant i find this" or "you guys are doing great"

#i barely use reddit anymore but this is all i end up doing on it anyway #just reading these threads about company politics

One of the most amazing acts of projection I've seen on Tumblr is how the Spotify Wrapped truthers are still at it, days later, and they're still accusing anyone who said "hey this sucks" of Loving Corporations and like

My friends, you're not only talking endlessly about a corporation's ad campaign, you're the only ones still talking about it. Everyone else has moved on. The people debunking it have moved on. You're the only ones left frantically tossing off Takes and Discourse about, again, a corporate ad campaign

#politics #tumblr #i'm offended by this discourse bc i saw a very long thread raging against someone who posted about it #and to my disappointment #it wasn't about me #i was so excited #conspiracy theories
