Good morning, all. We're glad you're here.

Leading off: If you want an OTR sticker, they are very free! Just shoot your mailing address to me at alma.otter91@gmail.com and I'll send you one. It's that easy.

For those of you that have requested one but have not received it: the USPS is bonkers slow right now. I mailed the first batch out over two weeks ago and some folks are just getting them now. Which leads me to the next point.

Go vote!

We're a week out from the midterm elections; this one's a big one. It feels like that's always how it goes, but yeah. That's how it goes these days. They're all big fucking deals.

If you don't know whether you're registered or where to vote, hit this link for more information. In the end, all the pieces matter, including yours. If you're voting by mail, get it in early. If you're voting in person, make a plan to do so. Alright, PSA over. Let's hit a few links.
