Attention: In addition to Critters 1-4 there are at least 4 more Critters movies - although I'm uncertain about free availability (and therefore eligibility for Monsterdon): - Critters Attack - Critters Bounty Hunter - Critters A New Binge - Critters All You Can Eat #Monsterdon
Why did we turn 1/3 of people away!? That sounds terrible!
The precinct is a public library. In the weeks running up to an election, many libraries like this one are satellite voting locations. Anyone in Fairfax County can walk up and identify themselves. They confirm eligibility, figure out what precinct you're in, and print the right ballot for you. Doesn't matter what precinct you live in for early voting, they handle the whole county at all satellite voting locations.
On election day, however, that library is exactly one precinct. The only people who can vote in the library on election day are people who live nearby in the precinct. We only have ballots for that one.
This leads to voter frustration because they'll come in on Tuesday and say "but my spouse just voted here on Friday!!" and they're right. Their spouse did vote here on Friday. But they can't vote here on Tuesday.
It kinda sucks. But it is what it is.
So Virginia has a special election on April 21 because we have a constitutional amendment on the ballot.
Any of you who have seen my #electionofficer posts know that I'll live post throughout the day. I just got my assignment.
Back in January, I was at a library where I called it "election officer on hard mode." Every possible edge case came through at least once. And 33% of people who walked in the door were turned away because they thought they could vote there, but they couldn't.¹
I'm back at that precinct in April. Expect more craziness from me on Tuesday April 21.
¹ if this sounds bad, it isn't, I'll explain in a reply to this post.
Valve: “We need a credit card on file to prove you’re 18”
Me: “My account is 23 years old”
Valve: “That just proves your account is old”

Hi, all! Returning to Mastodon after spending the start of this year detoxing from as much of social media.
Some of my favorite things are music (eclectic taste branching from rock, rap, and electronic), niche video games (an example would be me recently being interested in Forbidden Siren for the PS2), thrifting, philosophy, psychology, and writing.
I enjoy all of these things while also being visibly trans and queer (I identify as agender), so that makes finding people to talk about these things in person with more difficult/anxiety-inducing.
And so I'm trying to do it that way again where I have a social media account about it. #introduction #LGBTQ
