i’ve asked a few people this question but i need it to reach a larger audience. was balloon boy 2009 not as big of a deal as I thought it was? I was in Chipotle with two people and I tried to bring up balloon boy and they had no idea what i was talking about! it was so crazy!!! I had to read the entire balloon boy wiki article in the middle of a crowded Chipotle. really makes you think………… in order to exit this chipotle, you had to walk through two sets of doors, one after the other, kind of in a ‘tunnel’ set up you know. a hallway. as we were leaving, two different men held open each set of doors. ” A tunnel of politeness!” I said out loud
@oyavaski i think the funniest part of this is you thinking that this is fake because…..some of us are the same age and we have normal tumblr names i guess lmao????
never thought i’d get accused of faking having a mice infestation for tumblr clout and yet here we are
[image description: a tweet by user @indigenousAI saying
“fun fact: as a DV survivor i cannot register to vote because doing so makes my address public. anyone who is fleeing or hiding from an abuser is automatically disenfranchised from the political process and this is a feature, not a bug”]
I don’t know of the original poster might not be aware
but!
if you’ve been a victim of domestic violence, sexual assault, or stalking, you can enroll into the address confidentiality program (free of cost!) and be registered to vote as an absentee voter and your name and address will not be made available for the public
it is super easy to get enrolled - the application takes like 5 minutes, but it has to be with someone who is certified to do it (most likely an advocate! try going to a family justice center in your area or calling the Attorney Generals office in your area!!!!)
ALSO :
you don’t need to have any police reports or have a protection order to qualify!!! you just have to sign stating that you’ve been a victim of one of the aforementioned crimes.
