It was a huge pain in the butt, because my mail-in ballot didn’t register properly, but I found a last-minute flight to Houston and this morning walked over to Congregation Emanu El and voted. It is our most sacred duty as a citizen. I encourage every American to vote.

There’s a nice new Micro.blog theme “mnml” by Jim Mitchell, available in the plug-in directory. Clean, minimal design.

Thanks to Mary Jo Murphy, Jenna Johnson, Cathy Decker, Susan Levine, and the whole slew of Post reporters around the country covering this election on the ground, including Laura Benshoff, Holly Bailey, Yvonne Wingett Sanchez, and Josh Dawsey.

Speaking of voting and podcasts, I love that Lex Friedman does a daily short podcast. Here’s today’s episode. This is exactly what we had in mind when we first added podcast hosting to Micro.blog.

Freedom, freedom, I can’t move
Freedom, cut me loose

Won’t let my freedom rot in hell
Hey, I’ma keep running
‘Cause a winner don’t quit on themselves.
