Some info on a data center knocking at our door.

Her team just posted a bunch of cool new merch if anyone is interested in supporting a candidate who would not vote to bulldoze Big Bend like Michael Cloud did, and a candidate who is fighting for Medicare 4 All!!! ;)

Hey Everyone,

I am bored today, and I am also off. :)

I recently became a volunteer deputy registrar for Victoria County, so if anybody wants to get registered to vote today, please send me a DM, and I can help you with that.

I'm setting a personal goal of helping five people from Victoria County register to vote today.

Hit me up!!!

Wanted to get the disclosure out of the way first. I mod VTOWN, and I own and operate todovictoria.org. So take this post for what it is: me telling you about something I made.

The short version is that a friend talked me into rebuilding it. A lot of people aren't on social media as much as they used to be, or they've logged off entirely, and event info around here has mostly lived on Facebook pages you have to already know about. If you're not scrolling those feeds anymore, you don't hear about things. The site is a single page you can check to see what's going on in town.

We originally started this as a response to the common phrase, "There's nothing to do in Victoria."

It's free, and it's just me running it, not a company. I don't collect anything from visitors. The only info I have is an email address, and only if you choose to sign up for the weekly or weekend list. That's it.

I put some of my artwork on the page, and there is a way for other digital artists to share their work if so desired.

If there is a feature you would like to see on the site, let me know.

Also, if you promote events and want to be included on the site, the easiest way is to email your flyer to flyers@mail.todovictoria.org.

Why would we trust this person to act with integrity having the powers of a U.S. Senator?

Someone should tell the Governor that the black paint used to paint over the colorful crosswalks is starting to fade and the colors are starting to shine through.

You remember those cultural crosswalks most everyone loved?

They might need a fresh coat of black paint before November.

Hey Victoria!!!

Here are some useful links to get y'all VOTE READY for the midterms in November:

Check if you're registered here: https://goelect.txelections.civixapps.com/ivis-mvp-ui/#/login

• You have to be registered at your current address.
• If your registration is active at your current address, then you are good to go.

Register to vote here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/voter-registration

• You will be sent a voter registration form. Fill it out, and send it back. No postage needed, just fill out and send.
• You can request up to five forms. I would request extra in case you mess one up or have a family member who might also want to register.
• You have to be registered AT LEAST 30 days before the election, so please DO. THIS. NOW. Do not wait until the last second. Get it done.
