I’m not sure what to think this morning. This is a text from my daughter as she rode the bus to middle school.

😔 I don’t care how good the policies are, I cannot get with someone who is an adjudicated rapist, convicted of 34 felony charges, constantly whines, berates, and belittles anyone he’s at odds with, literally incited a deadly riot in the Capitol, and seemingly wants to strip us for parts and turn what’s left into an autocratic regime. 🤷🏾‍♂️ How am I supposed to explain this to my kids?

A conversation between my daughter and I includes comments about Trump, expressing frustration and a desire to vote, alongside an apology for the situation.&10;&10;Her:&10;People are talking about trump they're saying we are dead.&10;They are saying "I wish I could vote"&10;They are roasting trump&10;They called him dum a&10;&10;Me:&10;I'm sorry you all have to go through this

Watching the ballots being counted in my part of the ATL burbs.

📍 Gwinnett County Voter Registrations & Elections

🗳️ Election Day is finally here 🇺🇸 🙏🏾 If you haven’t, please go VOTE. 🍑 If you’re in GA, polls close at 7pm. You can still vote if you’re in line by then. ☕️ I already voted, so I’m relaxing. 🌊 Gonna be out wearing my favorite T-shirt, 💙 And keeping calm-ala.

A T-shirt features a blend of the Golden Gate Bridge and the famous Japanese painting of “wave off Kanagawa” design, accompanied by a camouflage baseball cap with text reading "HARRIS" and "WALZ ‘24".

Last canvassing run: knocked on 572 doors since August here in Georgia’s most diverse county, Gwinnett. Lots of good vibes and motivation today. Now to chill until Election Day.

Time to do my last round of canvassing before Election Day. 💙 🗳️ 🇺🇸

A news headline on the Des Moines Register website reports Kamala Harris leading Donald Trump in a final Iowa poll before Election Day. Hell is freezing over if this is true. Tonight’s [Des Moines Register](https://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/news/politics/iowa-poll/2024/11/02/iowa-poll-kamala-harris-leads-donald-trump-2024-presidential-race/75354033007/) last poll shows Harris **AHEAD +2** over Trump. Is there a 🌊?

Half-Flop.

A black dog with large ears (right one up, left one flopped) is sitting indoors, wearing a colorful collar and looking at the camera.

I promise this is the day that I go ahead and migrate Starrwulfe.xyz over to micro.blog. Take a look at the site and you’ll see why (unless I rebooted the server already.)

I was waiting to see if I could fix link-rot and migrate/copy/alias the short URLs to the posts but I don’t care anymore.

I can say that I’ve had the opportunity to witness both a former president and a possible future president that share a similar background as myself, in the same place and time as myself.

Two people (Harris and Obama) are standing on stage holding hands, surrounded by a crowd taking photos.

The good thing about Georgia’s record breaking early voting is that my canvassing list is shorter now. Some of y’all still haven’t done it though, so please vote so I don’t have to knock on your door! ✊🏾🚪😉🗳️

It was an easy assignment, a real no-brainer. All you gotta do is just pick the sane, coherent one and stay clear of the strange creeper dancing in the corner by himself.

A sticker displaying "I Voted" in multiple languages features a peach design on a blue fabric background, accompanied by a message about completing an assignment with extra credit for encouraging family members to vote.

How can anyone listen to this fool and think “yeah, HE is the leader I want for my nation”

He’s a 78 year old criminal with no new ideas and nothing but divisive rhetoric, lies and garbage instead of policies. I’m about to head out and vote against his ass and I hope you do too.

An image shows a list of controversial political statements attributed to Trump, accompanied by a photo of him.&10;&10;TRUMP'S DARK CLOSING PITCH&10;• POLITICAL OPPONENTS ARE "THE ENEMY FROM WITHIN ...&10;MORE DANGEROUS THAN CHINA, RUSSIA"&10;• "RADICAL LEFT" SHOULD BE "HANDLED" BY THE MILITARY&10;SUGGESTS "ONE REALLY VIOLENT DAY" WOULD&10;STOP CRIME&10;• SAYS "THE JEWISH PEOPLE WOULD HAVE A LOT TO DO WITH" A 2024 LOSS&10;• CALLED HARRIS "MENTALLY DISABLED"

Well that was a wonderful, eye opening and refreshingly entertaining trip back to my birthplace.

Finally seems like people have found the diamonds in the rough and got their polishing grease ready to go.

A few days of family visits starting from now, and I got mama with me too.

Doggo relationship right now:

❤️ his energy, personality and enthusiasm. 👎🏾 his love of finding literally any shoe in the house and pretending it’s a bird kill or something.

We’re a shoes off house 😩 Whoever had him before us clearly gave him shoes to play with instead of proper dog toys.

RIParadise John Amos.
