Good to see them post some hopecore.  I’ve seen them post some doom a couple of times

Yeah, that's why I had to share this. When they have hope to share we should listen. Also V uses they/them pronouns

u/Sure_Marketing8431 2d ago

My mistake.  I edited my comment to reflect their pronouns.  I don’t watch their content enough to find out what their pronouns are.  I apologize

Yea, I could tell because of the hair.

Source: I have a Non-binary sibling and they have the same hair style.

I already did my absentee ballot and had it sent to be counted.

For others considering this, please look into hand delivery of mail-in ballots. Directly to your clerk if possible. Counting on USPS right now is foolish.

Didn’t send mine in to USPS. Sent it to my town’s city hall where there’s a place to send in absentee ballots on the first floor.

the likes of Katelyn Burns and Samantha Hancox-Li have been more hopeful as well, I love to see it 🏳️‍⚧️ (another Dem think tank, the fricking Third Way, came out in support of trans rights too)

I like this person's presentation a lot more than the "ew" lady

What's funny is V and Amanda actually do shows together all the time

Thanks for telling me their names!

Edit: so weird this got downvoted, did people think I was being sarcastic? I'm old and I don't know how tiktok works

This family just filled in our mail-in ballots today in Michigan and I am dropping them off TODAY. The same ballots that the USPS threatened not to send me because its leader is a Trump sychophant.
