Warning: Politics
Sep. 5th, 2012 07:55 pmNB: Post is text heavy, feel free to apply &format=light
So I couldn't sleep last night because I was busy making lists in my head of what groceries I'd buy and what food I could make out of said groceries: the things that occupy me late at night. (Protip: Don't do this. It makes you hungry. In the middle of the night.)
So I moved departments at work recently and my new position is all about broadcast news, which means as of last week and this week, it's all politics, all the time. I forgot how invested in politics I could be and how many goddamn feelings I could have - and do have - about everything. It totally counts as a fandom of sorts.
I don't talk politics too often here so forgive me if it picks up (here, on Twitter, on Tumblr, on FB - oops) a bit due to the job (or more likely just this week due to the DNC). Basically, I'm going to ramble a bit. I'm not going to preach to the choir (hopefully), but please, please feel free to scroll if you're just not in the mood for politics right now.
( Links and quotes and rambling. )
Please, please, please remember to vote this November if you can. And specifically, since specificity is great, vote for Obama. (Also remember: Barack Obama supports the correct college basketball team, and that team is UNC. ♥)
