Reblog this if you voted because YOU ARE AWESOME!
The online interactive graphic novel of Election 2012, by the Guardian US. Kind of the coolest thing going right now.
I kinda wish my polling place was something more exotic or interesting, like the back of a taco place or a neighbor’s drafty garage.

(I started out wanting to write a quick note about my polling place and instead end up writing about my feelings.)
The number of gay and bisexual characters on scripted broadcast network TV is at its highest-ever level in the season ahead, according to the [17th-annual “Where We Are on TV” report released Friday by the] Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation. The total on cable television is also going up…
The study reviewed 97 scripted TV programs scheduled to air in the upcoming season on the broadcast networks, counting a total of 701 series regular characters. The study found that 31 of them are LGBT characters.
ABC has the highest amount with 10 out of 194, or 5.2 percent, of their regular characters identified as LGBT.
After leading last year, Fox ranks second with six LGBT characters out of 118 total series regulars, or 5.1 percent.
Study finds rise in gay characters on network TV
The rankings for the broadcast networks are (in order) ABC, Fox, the CW, NBC, and CBS. For cable networks, Showtime leads the pack, but HBO’s “True Blood” leads among all shows as it features six LGBTQ characters. Download the report as a PDF here.

I know you’re thinking “Why is Jasmine tumbling this? She’s been an Obama supporter since 2000-and-forever.” Which is true.
But! I was just wondering about Republican/conservative Tumblrs, and I found this response from Mark Coatney to Kate Spencer’s post about “Mitt Romney’s terrible Tumblr” to be a helpful start.
