I have some thoughts on yaoi.

Trump knew it was airborne and deadly, early on.

I have called my representatives.

I have said a thing.

I use https://www.commoncause.org/find-your-representative/ to do some of the excess brain-work to make sure I'm not calling the person who used to be in the office that I've got saved in my phone.

I like to have in mind a script, and sometimes I write it down.

* I am your neighbor
* Lend me some sugar

* I am your constituent, [name]
* My address is: []
* [sometimes they ask for phone number and email address]
* And I am calling because:
* Trump knowingly downplayed vital information about the pandemic
* This caused possibly hundreds of thousands of unnecessary deaths
* This is bad
* He must be removed from office immediately

I am actually going to pick up the phone for this

[alexseanchai]

*gets halfway through paragraph*

voicemail box: "If you are satisfied with your recording—"

*hangs up* No I am fucking not!

[azurelunatic]

Ugh why do they have to be so skimpy with time :(

[alexseanchai]

did I have even thirty whole seconds?

also it rang several times before going to voicemail, so like it's 9:30p Eastern, if nobody's in the office why isn't it going directly to voicemail, and if anybody is there to answer the phones why isn't it keeping ringing until someone does?

Jesus.

[azurelunatic]

Yeah.

Would you fancy posting this to thisfinecrew too? I think it really helps people to have a script, or even just the reminder that you can write yourself a script. Helps break the paralysis.

Done. https://thisfinecrew.dreamwidth.org/231183.html
