i’m not big on bringing up the topic of politics because in this current race for u.s. president, my family is on one side and my friends (and myself) are on the other.

i hate the distance caused by differences in political positions.

but if you are going to bring it up, two rules:
1. know why you’re voting for your candidate of choice
2. don’t yell at me about your choice if you don’t agree with me

if you’re like me and live overseas, it’s not too late to get an absentee ballot.

if you think that it’s too late and there’s no use for fighting, please read this.

if you don’t agree with me, that’s your business.

just mark your calendars to go vote already, okay?

on a somewhat unrelated happier note, here’s evidence that we can all get along:

my aunt sent me this pic along with a story of family near her who found this fawn on their doorstep one morning, they’re assuming her mother was killed in car accident. they named her bella and their dog hogan is keeping an eye on her recuperation. as soon as she regains her strength, she’s going to live with a friend of the family’s who has already reintroduced two other orphaned fawns into the wild.

go, bella!
