Not a meme, or if it is, it's a Tumblr one, not Livejournal. I came across this list of 100 questions on Tumblr and thought it would be a fun way of making myself post more often. Or more than just book reviews and the occasionally fandom squee. So I'm going to try and do at least one a day, maybe more some days, maybe not at all on others, as Real ( Read more... )

Well, it's official now. President Trump. God help us.

I don't know whether to laugh, cry, vomit or start breaking ground on a fallout shelter...

I want to carry on watching The Man in the High Castle, but a Nazi America is hitting a little too close to home right now.

I have a spare room and I'm totally okay with marrying one of y'all for a visa. Just putting that out there.

I got nothing. I feel utterly sick to my stomach. I don't even understand how this could happen.

...and we're all fucked.

Don't get me wrong, I like Bernie Sanders and I freely acknowledge he's more liberal than Hillary. An ideal world, I'd love a female candidate as liberal as he is. But I think Hillary has a better shot of winning, probably because she's not quite as liberal. And dammit, Trump cannot win. I'm hoping I have no Trump supporters on my flist - and if I ( Read more... )

An eagle called, I kid you not, Uncle Sam effectively telling Donald Trump to GTFO. A metaphor in motion. I love it.
