I voted. 10 Minutes.

Ilinap · November 2, 2010 ·

Banish any thoughts of being too busy to vote. This is not exercise we're talking about here. I don't want to hear your sorry excuses. Your boss, by law, has to give you time off to vote.

Remembering Persephone – 5:00 Fridays

Ilinap · October 22, 2010 ·
