ballot box with ballot ️ 100 days and counting  
Hey, y’all, it’s Monday, and today only, you can get a chicken tender milkshake. It’s true.  
link  
PDQ is  
link  
celebrating National Chicken Tender Day  
by blending up their signature fried tenders and putting  
em in a shake. And honestly, I don’t know what to say after that, other than  you do you, boo boo.  
Now, let’s talk about what else you might’ve missed over the weekend…

What Orlando is talking about  
We’re officially 100 days out from election day.  
I have our local chapter of the League of Women Voters (LWV) to thank for reminding me.  
They’re  
kicking off the day with a new campaign called  
link  
100 Days to the Vote!  
and outside of promoting  
voting, it’s also a celebration of 100 years of women’s constitutional right to vote.  
Happy  
Centennial, ladies! (Though I guess the official, official day is still a month away!)  
If you follow  
link  
our local League on IG  
, for the next three months, you’ll see daily postings about  
the plight of suffragists 100 years ago and you’ll learn something new every day about women from  
the last century, including some faces local to Central Florida.  
The  100 Days to Vote’ campaign highlights both how the vote expanded opportunities for women and  
our recommitment to the importance of voting,  said Linda Chapin, Orange County’s first elected  
mayor and a current LWV member.  
The story of how the 19th Amendment became reality illustrates so  
well that one vote can truly make a difference.  
As a friendly reminder, early voting begins next Monday.  
The League’s site  
link  
VOTE 411 dot org  
is a good  
resource to keep in your back pocket leading up to voting.  
Which reminds me, have you gotten your mail in ballot yet?  
Or will you be voting in person on  
Election Day? I’m interested to know what everyone’s doing.  
link  
Email me at katie at pulp dot town  
, subject  
line:  I’m a proud voter.  
And speaking of voting, there’s a comprehensive guide to local judicial candidates running for  
office floating around and I wanted to share it.  
While I don’t know the person who created it  
personally, the views appear impartial, and it’s a good resource to review prior to early voting  
starting next week.

In other news…  
Local brewers are supposed to finally get a sit down with Halsey Beshears, Secretary of Florida  
Department of Business and Professional Regulation.  
After the Florida Brewers Guild circulated a  
letter last week requesting a response from Beshears and Gov.  
De Santis, Beshears responded on  
Twitter and said he’ll meet with Florida bar and brewery owners this week  to discuss ideas of how  
to reopen.

Parents of students in Orange County Public Schools have to decide by 5 p dot m.  
today which of three  
learning options they’re enrolling their kids in.  
Meanwhile, a week ago, statistics from the  
Florida Department of Health showed a 31.1 percent positive rate of COVID 19 in kids tested.  
Then  
the FDOH apologized for their mistake and have since said the percentage is actually 13.4 percent.  
There’s a lot to unpack here. The original story by the Sun Sentinel is worth the read.

Pride is still on this year.  
It’s just going mostly virtual and the events will change to  
accommodate social distancing requirements, including the infamous Pride parade.  
This year’s will  
look more like a car caravan and honestly, I’m excited to see the creativity that will come from  
that.

One more thing...  
Yesterday, I gave the last keynote presentation at the two day virtual  
link  
Freelancers Conference  
(the  
whole event was incredible btw   s slash o to fellow speakers and Pulptown readers Chauniqua Major, David  
Lawrence, Jenny De Witt, Jim Hobart, and Kayla O’Brien).  
Anyway, during my talk, I felt like I  
started off strong, and then I fumbled a bit and felt like I bombed it.  
grimacing face  
Then again, we are our own worst critics.  
I say that to remind you that we’re all human.  
We have good days and bad days and WTF days and this  
is your friendly reminder to be kind. To others and also to yourself. Life is hard.  
And it’s  
especially hard right now. But it’s beautiful too. Don’t forget that.  
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

See you again on Wednesday, friends.
