I didn't expect or plan to ever come back here, and I'm sure as hell not going to read the steaming pile of threats and obsessive hate in my inbox after leaving for a few months, but I think this is worth saying, considering current events (and how I can only assume /r/all has answered to them).

I felt it'd be worth it to come back here and say something.

Don't just write your local politicians (and electors, especially). Call them. Keep calling them until Monday. Be heard.

Apathy is a luxury that can't be afforded anymore.

There's a reason the front page of this site despises protests so much: they work. Maybe not always, and maybe not right away, but right now, more than ever before, is the time to get out and do it. If you're in North Carolina, you know where you need to be next week. If you're going to be in DC next month, the world will be watching.

I'm doing what I can. I'm hoping enough of you can do the same.
