I never miss an opportunity to vote. I have voted in every election and Republican primary since age eighteen, and for many years now I have voted by absentee ballot rather than on Election Day because I work as an election official on Election Day. This year's election (at least in Connecticut) is for municipal offices, and the election is this Tuesday, November 7.

I only vote for Republican candidates. But as sometimes happens, there was a position on my ballot this year without a Republican candidate, so when I recently completed my absentee ballot I decided to cast an ineligible write-in vote for that position. In some previous elections, I have written in real people or issues as ineligible votes, but this year I chose to honor four cartoon characters and two ships with my vote for "Skilene WildeHopps." Skilene, of course, is in honor of Skipper and Marlene and their shipping name from PoM, while the WildeHopps part is in honor of Nick Wilde the fox and Judy Hopps the rabbit and their shipping name from the 2016 Disney movie "Zootopia."over a year ago
My vote for Skilene WildeHopps, because it is not registered as a write-in candidate with the state, will never be officially counted or acknowledged, but it will be seen by the officials who process absentee ballots. Likely they will have no idea that I, along with serious votes, cast an additional vote for a penguin, an otter, a fox, and a rabbit, but it will be a part of my personal history and my fandom history forever. #SkileneWildeHopps2017!over a year ago
I do have a Tumblr account (sjf-penguin). Probably 85% of my posts are Zootopia reblogs, 5% other reblogs, and 10% my own thoughts and contributions (Zootopia, some PoM, some politics, some miscellaneous). I avoid the Social Justice Warmonger end of Tumblr. I'm on DeviantArt (SJF-Penguin). I'm also on Twitter (@SJF_Penguin), where I tweet fandom-related things one minute, yell about politics the next, and play hashtag games in yet another. These are the biggest places.over a year ago
