I still kinda wonder what a polity that used Approval voting would look like longterm. Approval encourages extremely centrist candidates.

an electoral system that I *really* like but works for electing a slate of representatives instead of one winner is Single Transferable Vote

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_transferable_vote

btw, in case you haven't been exposed to this idea before:

"every person gets one vote and the candidate with the most votes wins" (First Past the Post) is a terrible and undemocratic way to run elections.

Better systems let you give a ranked preference and mean you can't "waste" your vote on a third party.

(I posted this to bird site like a year ago and it fell flat despite it being maybe my best snowclone ever)

Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success.

Must be willing to relocate to San Fransisco.

Ahhhhh this new sports bra gives me actual cleavage!! ^_^

The band is a little tight but I don't care.

Oh hey apparently 3d printed air raid sirens are a thing.

Today's Gender of the Day is: spooky-ass air raid sirens

TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT TOOT

I don't actually care about hairy legs at all when it comes to them being seen by people I'm close to but if they're gonna be seen by randos I'd be more comfortable with them smooth.

In principle I'm politically super into women not bothering to shave legs but it still manages to poke at dysphoria a little :/

I did it a little bit when I was first figuring out teh trans and my gay boyfriend was like "please either do this more frequently or just let it grow out 'cause you're hella pickly."

Huhh. Maybe now that I don't have to shave my face every day, I might have the energy to shave my legs?

I haven't done that basically ever since I was spending the defoliating energy elsewhere and it was way lower on the dysphoria priority list.

IDK, maybe that's just what being furry means? It's a big umbrella.

I don't think of myself as kin but being a fox feels like more than just a costume or affectation and I don't know what to call that.

Conversation with @Soreth last weekend made me realize that even more of my traits than I was aware of fit fox archetypes.

Including most of the things I don't like about myself.

So I guess I'm a fox.

(I endorse Nikkita Oliver for mayor, and Jon Grant for city council seat 8.)

Hey reminder to Seattle folks, today is the deadline to get your ballot to a drop box!

I have learned so much about kobolds since joining this server.

Especially about the queer ones.
