We didn’t have a word for our, as you guys call, gay/lesbian people. So we coined that word as an umbrella for all our tribes. We never said, “Well, you’re transgender. You’re bisexual. You’re lesbian.” We never knew those terms. Those are all from Western culture, you know, LGBTQ and all that. So on some level, it’s about getting rid of labels. Those terms were forced upon us.
Needle was Robb and Bran and Rickon, her mother and her father, even Sansa. Needle was Winterfell’s grey walls, and the laughter of its people. Needle was the summer snows, Old Nan’s stories, the heart tree with its red leaves and scary face, the warm earthy smell of the glass gardens, the sound of the north wind rattling the shutters of her room. Needle was Jon Snow’s smile. The Many-Faced God can have the rest, Arya thought, but he can’t have this.
For people like me who get discouraged because their states vote overwhelmingly red: don’t stay home because you think your vote won’t make an impact. The only way we can influence change in our conservative states is to exercise our right to vote! Go brave the polls and VOTE!
BEING A DEEP “RED STATE” IS NOT A FAIR DEPICTION OF REALITY.
There are more democrats in this country than republicans. The problem is that DEMOCRATS NEVER VOTE.
This is what the map would look like with 100% democrat turnout
PLEASE DON’T FALL FOR THE IDEA THAT YOUR STATE IS DEEP RED. It’s only that way because democrats don’t vote (and republicans do).
