Dear Tumblr....

Found this on facebook but reposting to SAVE A LIFE.

Or at least some of y’all’s GPAs.

also, use Unpaywall

Are you learning Gaeilge/Irish?  Do you have 10 minutes to take a really important survey?  I need it for school!  It’s super important!  This is part of my passion project for Anthropology and I’m super pumped!

I don’t ask your name, age, or gender.  I do ask a bit about your ancestry, but I promise it pertains to the research I’m doing.  All other questions revolve around the how and whys of you learning this language.

There are only 10 questions.  Most are closed-ended.  But there are a few open-ended.

I swear it’s not super invasive.  But the results should prove to be super interesting.

If you are learning Gaeilge, I need you to take my survey.  Even if you’re not learning Gaeilge, the more viral this post goes, the more chances I have of it reaching the needed audience.

Please!  Thank you!

I need all responses by, uh, April 25, 2019, we’ll say.  That gives me plenty of time to analyze the results and put together my presentation.

Did you hear? We partnered with Black Girls Vote (@blackgirlsvote) for “A Social Experience” at Morgan State University in Baltimore, Maryland. Our goal was simple: increase voter participation, and make sure people had fun while doing it. There was an upbeat, cheerful march to the polls. There was a dance floor. There was DJ, a photo booth, Tumblr swag, free food, and one beautiful community coming together.

Before marching to the polls, students gathered at MSU’s quad to hear speakers Dr. David Wilson, President of MSU, Bridget Kyeremateng, our very own Social Impact Coordinator, and Nykidria Robinson, founder and CEO of BGV, about the inherent power in voting, especially from historically marginalized people .

“We’re here to say that Black girls will vote, but also we’re going to take our husbands, our boyfriends, our brothers, our sons with us to the poll. Because it’s so important for us to vote.” — Nykidria Robinson, founder and CEO of Black Girls Vote.

Tumblr, we need you. People all over the world need you. Use your voice. Use your vote. It is the strongest asset you have. Historically, the youth vote—ages 18 to 24, have the lowest turnout of any age bracket. You can change that this year. You can change that every year moving forward. You can be heard. 

If you have any questions relating to state-specific election rules, check out How to Vote. HTV provides a summary of voter registration and voting rules for all 50 states and Washington, D.C. in both English and Spanish. Users can learn about registration, voting methods, important dates and deadlines, look up contact information for election officials and information for military and overseas voters, and check their registration status. If you have a question, chances are they have an answer.
