i hope you can. everybody deserves today off tbh. all the hugs

sits here in the potentially calling out of work corner

I fully endorse all calling out of work for everyone you do what you need to

i was successful

I’m in shock and horrified

I'm not even shocked i'm just so fucking goddamn mad

I'm not shocked or mad but that's because I'm sitting in a twilight zone full of ben afflecks

and I also have the luxury of not being there. so I'm just quietly sad for everybody who is.

same, yeah. but im also home today so im here for y'all

fucking mood

I wish I could be mad about it. I probably will be later but right now I’m just heartbroken. Be extra mad for me until I get there

i have to look at the numbers later but i think it's more of the abstaining horseshit

people just straight up not votng

apparently the senate is also red

which means dems lost the senate majority

I think you're right btw. I read somewhere that close to 20 million didn't vote this year compared to 2020... and COVID deaths can't really account for that difference

and house reps are shaping up to be red

i'm so fucking angry i could black out

you also lost at least one state due to third party voting

every cunt who decided not to vote for whatever reason did this not just to the US but to people who will suffer from this

like palestine

i HATE every person who voted red

and im so ANGRY at every person who abstained

i'm getting to the point i was at in 2016 where i wanted to leave so badly i started looking up the immigration process for like new zealand

Kayjayyy: don't even get me started

i'm so fucking sick of the stupidity

and the hypocrisy, US CHRISTIANS. i'm looking at the majority of YOU assholes

you stupid fucking bastards

thanks to being with my sister all day and us being able to chill and talk about all of this bullshit, i've managed to avoid the death spiral of dread and terror

i'm still very angry

but i'm able to translate that into determination to both hang on and fight back

resolving to do more protests, sign up for local dem chapters, etc

mkay, i'm putting my election talk on plurk to bed now, i'm sure many others wanna do the same

returning to this is the place for fandom chit-chat. i don't usually do RL on here anyway because that's not my style

if anybody wants to talk personally about this stuff etc, feel free to PP me but i will be compartmentalizing to save my own self the grief

y'all look after yourselves
