Tomorrow Is Election Day
Tomorrow — Tuesday, November 3 — is your last day to vote if you haven’t already voted early, or by mail-in or absentee ballot. If you’ve already voted, make sure you speak to/call/email/text three other people to make sure they have voted too. If you haven’t voted yet, make sure you know where to go…
Don’t Wait: Activate! Also, Election Day Info for NYC
I spend a lot of time on Twitter — I’m a masochist, I guess — and I keep seeing people reacting to stories like this one about the warehousing of immigrant children in overcrowded and disease-ridden detention camps on our southern border. People tweet plaintively: Why aren’t we in the streets en masse? Why aren’t…
The Week in Review, Plus NYC Jewelry Week
The past week was all about the midterm elections. I was so busy with election-related activities that I only had time to write two blog posts: Tuesday, November 6: Before my 5 a.m. start time for work at my poll site on Tuesday, I encouraged everyone to vote, and shared my experience canvassing for Liuba…
What an Election Day!
I normally wouldn’t describe a 5 a.m. to 10 p.m. workday as a fabulous experience, but my first time working at my local poll site on Election Day qualified. Voter turnout was the highest any of the experienced Election Day workers had seen outside of a presidential election. It was hot and crowded and a…
Election-Day Video, Links, and Liuba
Hallelujah! Election Day is here at last. I’m jealous of all of you who have voted already. The majority of states have early voting, but New York does not because Republicans in our state senate have refused to pass voting-reform legislation. As a result, today is likely to be madness, and I’ll get to see…
The Week in Review — With an Emphasis on Voting
In case you missed it, here’s what was on the blog this week. Monday, October 29: Homegrown vintage in silver. Wednesday, October 31: Nothing is scarier than white supremacy. Also on Wednesday, October 31: Memories of Gigi the dog. Thursday, November 1: A major video from me explaining all the reasons you should vote. Seriously,…
Video: Get Out and Vote!
Next Tuesday, November 6, is Election Day! In this video, I explain why: every vote really does matter; you should vote even if you don’t 100% LOVE your choices; this is the wrong election to complain that “they’re all the same” because they’re not; when you don’t vote, the people who benefit the most are…
Wednesday’s Video: Lauren Duca on Kavanaugh
I’ve got a reminder for my New York peeps: Tomorrow (Thursday, September 13) is our state primary day! Get out and vote! Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. Check your registration and polling site online now so you know where to go. Confirm your registration. Find your polling place. If you turn…

Have you voted yet today? I was at my polling location at the 6 a.m. opening time after — literally — no sleep at all. Zero minutes of sleep!
