Background

There are a truly ridiculous number of votes running on the 15th. Almost as many as have been run in the *Entire Year* up until this point. We'd like to take a moment and acknowledge that this is both irritating and wonderful. Long live PS:1 Do-ocracy.

Language of the Vote

The members of PS:1 vote to spend exactly 25 seconds in silent meditation on the 15th of November at 8:30 PM. Exactly 5 seconds for each of the 5 votes run during that meeting.
