I am sending big blue energy out into the world today and urging everyone in The US who is voting to

Biden isn’t perfect. But voting for government officials is not about finding your soulmate. It’s about selecting the lesser of two evils. I wish this weren’t the case but at this time, the most important things is removing Trump from office. He is a danger to ALL minorities and must be stopped.

Thinking about... 🧩🧩🧩
the US election // going back into lockdown // my stolen laptop

I know none of us have any control over the state of the world, but if you’re eligible to vote tomorrow in the US, please vote for Biden. And if your finances allow and you can contribute to my new laptop fund, please donate to my PayPal (link in bio)
