this is what I've learned about the practice of politics over the past 8 years:
the time for talking about abstract political ideals is during the primary.
after the primary, the die has been cast, and your two choices are there whether you like them or not. your practical political responsibility still exists. any choice that seems to lie outside the two candidates is an illusion. to cast a vote for a third party or to not vote at all is still, practically speaking, a choice for one of the two main candidates.
furthermore, you are not voting for the candidates as people, you are voting for them as policy. voting for a person is a luxury most countries don't have anymore. you think Canadian Christian voters ever get a truly Christian ticket on either side? Norwegian Christians? Japanese Christians? America might still be able to vote for people in the primaries, but we don't have that luxury in the general election. the general election is about policy, and the candidates are only pieces in a larger game of chess.
the only thing that would persuade me NOT to vote for Trump this time around is if he had the exact same policy platform as Kamala Harris. if Trump ran on all of Harris' policies except for immigration, I would still vote for Trump, because it's materially worse for my family, friends, and neighbors to allow illegal immigration than to stop it. and as a voter, I have the power to stop it.

reintroducing myself!! ★彡
with a new year comes new goals and i am also no longer in high school so my old introduction requires an update 🫡 but hello hello
i'm ally, i love pink and i think looking at my studies in pink as well as sharing my notes online fill me with a lot of joy and thus the pink academia studyblr account was born
my goal is simply to get a grade average of 90+ for this year! and to also meet lots of very clever people and to engage with my community both online and irl
i recently made the realisation i was more extroverted than introverted, i just had a lot of social anxiety lol
i'm also currently studying a media/arts double degree and in my first year if thats any relevancy
yayy thats all have a cookie for making it this far 🍪 i look forward to reconnecting with others and seeing everyone else's posts once more

I need you all to know that while I’m clawing my way back to creating stuff all I can think about is the pro heroes hosting mini game show nights.
Like. Chill Mini Game Show Nights - where they just lounge about playing various party games, drinking and snacking and whatever
I have thought about this SO MUCH but it’s currently on the brain so-
I’d happily ramble more about this idea actually, it’s very beloved to me- especially with the UA staff when they’re stuck in the dorms together.

Remember ALL those who are justifying Isr@el.
One by one.
Remember their names, their faces, their statements.
Tomorrow they will no longer be able to say that they didn't know.
They know everything and they are justifying it.

Dead to sin by profession; dead to sin because it is our obligation; dead to sin because virtue and power are provided to kill it; dead to sin because of our union with and our regard for Christ through whom it is killed: how can we live in sin?
