‘Why We Should Embrace – Not Fear – The Biohacker Uprising’ (SingularityHub)

Im gonna agree with trent shelton on this one, loyalty is rare. Finding someone who wants to stay in your life no matter the circumstances, thats fucking rare. But, there will come a point where if you keep pushing your luck and keep treating this person poorly, they’ll say enough is enough and will have to choose to walk out of your life. And thats a terrible mistake, to let go of someone that loyal because whos to say you’ll ever find someone like that again.

Thank you for voting, Tumblr!

Take a moment and recognize the incredible contribution you made to your community and your country by voting in the midterm elections earlier this week. You exercised your right to vote and you made your voice heard. That is no small feat.

The results of the election may have left some of you disappointed, but we wanted to point out just how much new diversity and representation people like you voted into office. Our leaders should reflect the diversity of the communities they serve, and this year you elected a whole bunch of firsts:

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, representing New York’s 14th Congressional District, becomes the youngest woman ever elected to the U.S. Congress.

Rashida Tlaib, Michigan, is the first Muslim woman to be elected into Congress. 

Ilhan Omar, Minnesota, is the first Somali American to be elected in Congress.

Ayanna Pressley becomes Massachusetts’ first Black Congresswoman.

Jared Polis, Colorado, is the first openly gay man elected governor in the United States.

Sharice Davids becomes one of the first Native American and openly lesbian woman to be elected to Congress.

Deb Haaland is also one of the first Native American women elected to Congress.

Letitia James becomes the first woman in New York to be elected as Attorney General, the first African-American woman to be elected statewide office, and the first Black person to serve as Attorney General.

Jahana Hayes is the first Black woman to represent Connecticut in Congress.

Massachusetts voted to maintain its anti-discrimination law protecting trans and nonbinary people.

Florida passes Amendment 4, which restores voting rights to 1.4 million ex-felons who have completed their sentences.

This was all done by you. You made these monumental changes happen with the power of your vote.

Let’s remember: it isn’t over. Voting isn’t the end. Continue to volunteer in your communities and attend events to keep your community in check. Remember that change rarely comes without action. Take action.

Thank you, Tumblr.
