So, there's a lot of USians around who are very clearly fucking fed up with their political choices this election cycle, and planning to sit it out.

And I get it! What's the point of voting if there's no one to vote for?

The thing is, I'm Australian. In Australia, voting is compulsory. We don't get to sit out our elections, and I'll be real honest with you - we don't exactly get better choices than you lot. So how do you vote if there's no one to vote for? You find someone to vote against. And there's always someone to vote against.

Now, we have the pleasure of preferential voting in Australia - We get to rank every candidate from 1 to X, and I'll tell you, there's something so cathartic about putting the biggest bastard of the lot at the very bottom of your preferences. I understand that USians don't get that option - you get to mark one person, and that's it.

That means that you get one shot, so aim it at the biggest bastard of the lot. The candidate you most utterly detest. Put your vote in the worst possible place for them. Don't even think about who that vote's going towards, that's not the point. Remember, every vote is a vote against someone. Make sure you fuck up that someone's election day!

have you ever shipped something so hard that you become irrationally happy and make a sound akin to steam escaping from a kettle everytime they so much as stand next to eachother

find it very heart shattering that the spot on humans foreheads that we kiss when bidding goodbye or expressing love to a loved one is called a temple. i am kissing your temple; you are mine to worship and mine to love. (love is like a religion u discover on ur own)

Hi Mr. Gaiman,

My high school English class has a slam poetry unit for all the sophomores where we learn about poetry, write our own slam poem, and then present it in front of the entire class. If the class votes your poem go be the best you move onto perform your poem for the entire grade plus the 60-something other guests who decide to show up. I have to present my poem tomorrow and I’m absolutely terrified. I hate performing, whether I’m alone in my room or in front of 10 people I always get this gut feeling like I’m doing something wrong. You’re a brilliant writer and on the occasions you do perform, you’re amazing. I was wondering if you had some advice for me whether it’s to calm my nerves or perform my own work because I can already feel my heart going a mile a minute at the thought of the performance.

Please and thank you,

Lue

Practice. Say it aloud it until you can do it in your sleep.

Then when you deliver it, slow down. The adrenaline will be speeding up time and making you take shallow breaths. Slow down, deep breaths, and pretend that you do this every day. The more comfortable you appear to be the more comfortable everyone in your audience will be.

Hi Neil, I regret to inform you that my dog ate you. It was very sad. I hope Sandman season 2 and Good Omens season 3 are not impacted too harshly by your consumption

Whereas I just hope your dog isn't too badly affected by my consumption.

the city where we live doesn't allow public barbecues so my brother fucking welded a grill to a handcart and now hosts "chill and grill sessions" where he sends all his friends his live location so they can hunt him down on their bikes with sausages in their backpacks while he carts it around evading the police like some sort of barbecue vigilante, grilling on the run. i have never been prouder of him
