I'm gone

I know I've been absent a lot recently. I'm sorry. Sadly (for me, anyway) that's not going to change anytime soon

I feel very much the same way. The night of the election, I refused to look at or listen to anything because all the people that said she had it tied up, well, I have heard this before and wasn't at all convinced. Sadly, I was right. What's hard for me, too right now is that there are coworkers at Apple, of all places that voted for him. I no longer speak to them except when work requires it. Also, we had a Chik Fil-A show up at the mall and it depresses the shit out of me every time I see someone bring a bag of their hate into the break room. I read as little as I can of media. Facebook is a minefield I'd rather avoid. But we have to go on. I have a comic I want to do which wasn't mean to reflect any of this but which will end up kind of doing so. Because if we just curl up and go numb, that thing someone else elected wins. I hope you can find some peace soon, that we all can. Know that there are those of us out here ready to welcome you with open arms when you are. My best to you, Scott and the girls.

Thanks.

I know I need to get out and fight. And I will. But I have to deal with this grief first. I need a little numb time. Avoidance time. After I process, I'll find a way to fight back. Hard. I promise.

So much love to both of you. I hope we all have the strength to survive the next four years. Ug.

Much love to you as well. SO glad I was able to see you this year. It's always a great time. *hugs*

My husband feels the same way. He didn't take Xanax but he's taking long walks in the woods lately.

Me, I'm angry and ready to fight back.

[ivy_rat]

I desperately want to fight back, but right now, I'm too angry. I want to shout out insults to all the stupid people who fell for his lies and rhetoric! I'm waiting until I'm the good kind of angry. The kind that you are. When I get there, I'll be fighting right along side you.

Soon. I'm spending the next few days trying to figure out what the best course of action is. If you have ideas, let me know!

I feel the same way. I hate that you're having to go through this, but am glad I'm not the only one. If I could ween myself away from Twitter, I would. Actually, I'll have to so I can get some sleep and remember how to breathe. If the West Coast is serious about seceding, I'm going to move there.

*hugs* for when you can stand them,
Catherine

My only worry about the West Coast seceding is that leaves the Norh East alone. I want them to come with us!

I agree that it's nice knowing I'm not alone. Be good to yourself. We both need to rest up, so we can fight the big fight that's coming soon.

Many hugs in return.
