I can’t explain. I look up and see things in the sky like this, whatever this is. If I hallucinated this, it sure was nice of it to let itself be photographed. Related: if that’s a giant Cheshire Cat, I feel a little too mousy-meaty for comfort.

On Tuesday, we will have the most consequential election of our lifetime because of a series of consequential elections where the electorate underestimated consequences of not voting for people who believed in democratic institutions. This time, it seems like the electorate understands what’s at stake, and is acting accordingly. That brings me to you: have you voted for your future? For everyone’s future? Have you voted for the women in your life? For the children who will inherit this planet when you and I are nothing but pictures and shocking stories? If you can, register and vote.

Your life may depend on it. All our lives might.
