We're a few days into the current wave of #TwitterMigration, and we're all excited for all the #NewHere folks to have joined.

But please be mindful you are joining a social network that was not a barren, desolate desert before. It was a blooming, cozy garden.

It's not just about finding your old connections from  , it's also about making new valuable connections with folks on here, who might have moved years ago, or who might have never had an account on hellbird.

I have a lot of first-time voters in my classes this semester, so I sent all of my students an email containing:
* Voting hours
* Secretary of State website links to 1) polling place lookup and 2) ID requirements (if any)
* Ballotpedia link to state ballot measures incl. endorsements and donors
* Provisional ballot information
* Social media links to trusted sources on voting/elections

Esp if your colleague/university isn’t sending voting reminders, I encourage you to do the same! #Vote
