The unspoken rules for protest in the US have been, for decades, that if you have a big tame sign-holding march, it's safe to bring your kids. If you're not perceived as threatening their power, they'll leave you alone. Which means they perceive their unpopularity as a threat to their power

It’s been said before, but I somehow thought full dystopia would not involve a day job, rent, and cleaning my floors. The banality of societal collapse feels quite disempowering. Keep fighting folks, even when it’s an add-on to your already busy day.

I don't know for certain that you can obtain a manual same-day postmark, but if you are sending a ballot or taxes, it is worth trying to get it marked in front of you. Anyone in the know, let me know if people can do this.
This graphic shows how the old way the post office postmarked items was to mark them as the day they were received. The new way is that items are postmarked the day they are processed, one to two days later. For critical deadlines like taxes and ballots, go to the USPS counter and request a manual postmark.

Where would you live: I’m not a fan of humid+ hot, or flat. I prefer a mix of mountain, lake, ocean 😊
A map of the US states. Colors indicate where I would live. Green is absolutely, light green is willingly, beige is maybe, yellow is reluctantly, red is never.
In my map, most f the southeast is red, the west and northeast are green and the middle of the country is a mix of beige and yellow.
