what's the state of our nation

Twenty-four hours ago, Donald Trump had not won the American presidency.

It still doesn't feel real. I never thought in a million years that we'd be staring into this abyss, not really.

I can't quite coalesce my thoughts into coherence; it's been such a long, sad day.

The concession speech was so beautiful and moving and painful. In my office of three women, we were each watching it on our own laptop with earbuds, so it was kind of a silent communal experience. I want to watch it again but don't know when I'll be able to handle it.

I canvassed and phone banked for the first time ever this election (in VA where it would do some good).

Something broke in our country today.

There's going to be a Trump Library. I don't know why I keep coming back to that.
