Kristen Stewart has made it this long without succumbing to the lure of starting her own social media account, but she did borrow her girlfriend Dylan Meyer's Instagram to share a very important message with her fans.
The actress made her first foray onto the platform on behalf of National Voter Registration Day on Tuesday to encourage her fans to go to the polls in November. And while Stewart may be an Instagram novice, she's clearly a selfie pro posting a shot in which she wears a “VOTE” t-shirt while giving a smoldering stare, sticking her tongue out of the corner of her mouth, and flashing a thumbs-up at the camera.

“For anyone that might need to let out a little aggression today...it is national register to VOTE day," Stewart wrote . “I never do this but for anyone who has not registered to vote please take this opportunity to feel HEARD. And not hopeless.” She continued, “I am voting because I WANT to believe in our country. Because I believe in climate change. I believe in systemic racism. I believe in freedom of speech and the right to assemble. I believe in gun control. I believe that women have a right to make choices about their own bodies. I believe people have the right to live and love and identify however they feel in their hearts without fear. I believe that people care about each other. So try and have a lovely Tuesday and vote for your fucking lives.”
Stewart wouldn't have been able to deliver this message without the help of her girlfriend, who she's been linked to since August 2019. In an interview with Howard Stern in November 2019, the actress revealed that while she and Meyer may have differing opinions about the utility of social media, they have pretty much everything else in common. “We're both from L.A. and we really love L.A,” she explained. “We're both kind of like, scumbags. We both felt like trolls as kids. We're so similar but different.”
