This is inspiring in the way that kids running a lemonade stand to pay for their friend's chemotherapy is inspiring: the kids are amazing but they should never have to do this. if this inspires you at all, let it inspire you to create a real right to vote so they can just vote on campus.

For our October 2026 Membership Drive, we're featuring a donation gift each day! Today’s feature: A set of four AO3 inspired tarot-style stickers. Just think of how fancy your water bottle, notebook, or computer would look with these added! Donate now and choose this gift! otw.org/donate
Four stickers styled as tarot cards. The sticker for 'The Tag' shows two people reaching for each other across the card with an '&' and '/'. Next, 'The Archive' is a person looking into the clouds where there are a variety of books with symbols of different tropes (for example, rings, fire, or a sword). The third sticker is 'The Comment' with the image of a message box with smoke coming off of it. Four, 'The Kudos' with an image of a hand pushing a heart down toward a typewriter.

Personally, I think what really threatens American Jews is insisting our safety is dependent on denying what the whole world sees, that the Israeli gov committed war crimes against Palestinian civilians. Force people to think protecting Jews means denying reality, and they will stop caring about us.
from Melissa Braunstein: "Nobody waged war against civilians. Lies like this from authority figures set dangerous things in motion that negatively affect *American* Jews."

It’s bad enough that Gavin Newsom opposes California’s Prop 40. But he also supports Prop 42, a billionaire-backed poison pill that would cancel out Prop 40 entirely and make it impossible to enact future wealth taxes. It’s clear whose side he’s on. Remember this in 2028.

one reason you should ignore the polls and vote no matter what is not that they’re wrong—the averages usually aren’t, especially this close to election day. it’s that polls inherently cannot fully account for republican voter suppression.

People are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.
Russell Stover has begun using prison labor to make candy in

A Russell Stover candy factory in Kansas has begun hiring incarcerated workers through a work release program, Eoin Higgins reports in his newsletter, The Flashpoint. About 150 women are bussed in from the Topeka Correctional Facility and paid $14 an hour, but the prison keeps some of their wages for room and board, taxes, transportation, and other expenses. When all is said and done, they take home less than $6 per hour. These deductions are high, but elsewhere in the country, they're even higher: In our May series on prison

It's World Homeless Day, and I'll just say: Homelessness isn't some great unsolvable mystery. People are homeless because they don't have homes. This suffering persists not for lack of solutions, but because enormous wealth and power are invested in maintaining the very structures that produce it.
