Working people can’t take off time to vote. Poor people can’t take off time to vote. Students, teachers, can’t take off time to vote. So in-person voting favors retirees, wealthy people, and business owners like farmers who can set their own hours.

If you are already doing Jellyfin, you can sync as much or little to your phone as you want. Just use finamp. It’s a very nice player for Android that connects to your Jellyfin and allows you to download any synced music on the go or stream it directly.

Yeah, she has faced a lot of criticism in the last few years; some of it undeserved, some entirely deserved.

Since I didn’t see many creators who are women, here are a few recommendations:

The Space Gal (Emily Calandrelli)

Huge if True (Cleo Abram)

Up and Atom (Jade Tan-Holmes)

Emily the Engineer (content can be pretty rough - profanity and simulated danger)

How thriving? Is it just summer home thriving, or is it private jet thriving?

How toxic? Is it just criticizing your significant other toxic, or give away your dog to punish you toxic?

I like Tesseract. Photon and Alexandrite are also great (although Alexandrite is a bit out of date, but I haven’t had any issues). Also check out Quiblr maybe. It has a very different feel.
