NY State residents, please be aware that on Election Day (11/7), the BACK of the ballot will have a referendum to vote on convening a NY Constitutional Convention. Placing it on the back of the ballot was a DELIBERATE move.
If it passes, it could be a disaster for ALL CURRENT AND FORMER NY State (including state, city, county, town, village and school district) public employees (police officers, firefighters, corrections officers, teachers, sanitation workers, teaching aides, librarians, bus drivers, lunch aides, highway workers, board of elections, etc.) who could stand to lose a great deal, including part or all of their pensions or medical benefits (even those who have already retired), that they were promised in return for their commitment to their careers in public service.
If you love anyone that is currently, or has ever been a NY public employee, please TURN YOUR BALLOT OVER and vote “NO”.

THIS HAS OVER 40,000 NOTES AND WITHIN FIFTEEN MINUTES I FOUND THIS IN MY MESSAGES:
“and then i saw him walk across the room. he got very close to me and whispered “back that sass up”“
80,000 NOTES AND I GOT ONE!
“
He descended upon me, that pink archangel, with those pink and ripe nipples. “
Over 288,000 and this is mine:
“ She stole the last twinkie from the basket and stuffed it all in her mouth before I could grab it. “Why would you do that?” “Because I’m the bad guy!”

so, i only went in to get the shiny silvally code. should’ve taken like a minute or two at most but i was in there for upwards of ten. it was deeply unsettling right off the bat when i walked in because it was quiet. like really quiet. the tv that plays the gaming news and the speaker that plays the ads weren’t running. the cashier says hello and i get in line to wait. it is dead silent. nobody in the store is making any noise except for the cashier, who is typing. she’s helping a little boy sell 12 PS4 games. the boys mom is walking back and forth behind him sipping her gas station brand cup of coffee. literally just walking back and forth from one end of the store to the other. all the while the entire store is silent, the kid is silent, the mom is silent… all 5 of the other full grown adults in this store are silent. and i’m the only one in line behind this kid, these other adults throughout the store are like standing in one space just staring and being quiet. they weren’t browsing, they weren’t talking. nobody was making any noise. i wasn’t making any noise. i was standing there thinking about how eerily silent it was in this gamestop and wondering what the hell was going on – hyper aware of every move i made because i didn’t want to make a noise and break the silence. this carried on for literally 10 minutes before another cashier came in through the front door and loudly exclaimed “i can’t leave you alone for five minutes.” he called me to the counter and asked me what i needed help with. it was like immediately the ambient noises of gamestop all returned at once and i stepped forward to get my code.
my favorite part of this is the implication that not only was the first cashier somehow responsible for the eerie silence to begin with but also that this has certainly happened before
sometimes i scroll through stephen king’s twitter and i’m never disappointed
The first time I saw you
my heart leapt in recognition
and I closed my eyes
against the visions invading
into the edge of my sight
like stormclouds.
The first time I touched you
my skin sang with fulfillment
and I choked
on the prophecy rising
in my throat
like bile.
The first time I kissed you
my lips trembled with promise
and I stopped breathing
to escape the blood-stench swimming
inside my mouth
like poison.
And the last time I see you––
with my hand upon your skin
with your lips pressed to mine
I will open my eyes wide
breathe deep with gaping mouth
and watch the promised future crashing around us
like the crumbling columns
of a forgotten temple.
