Well, at least we probably won't go to war with Russia or China?
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

Oh, and let's not even start on how Mike Pence is going to criminalize miscarriages, and the roll-back of Obamacare will result in untold deaths.
And RBG better be fucking immortal or we're back to the land of coathangers and secret shipments of mifepristone.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I am very sad and shocked about this election.
But I am glad to see Spidra!!!!!

Also, what Consuela said.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
You might want to re-think that "move to Michigan" plan, Scrappy.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".
I'm still trying to fathom the news here myself, and kindly remember that I am from a country that constantly elects a Great Divider of the People for so long that this is the only PM my baby sister (who is currently 27) remembers, so this is why I want to tell you:
Nilly's words? True. Very true. Life do go on. You find and make ways to influence. There are stupid family fights and lovely, shining moments of love and joy. There are despair and WTFingness moments. There is good TV, and nice people around you that you haven't met yet. Awesome recipes you haven't tried yet. There are ways and means to construct and live meaningful and loving lives. Life *do* go on.
Much love, Buffistas. I believe in you. Sanity can and will prevail, in other means.

It's over. I can't breathe. I am sick.

I cannot stop crying. And Facebook is more than I can handle right now but I didn't want to be alone, either. And so my mind immediately gave me the answer: go to the Buffistas. You guys are still where I turn when everything has gone to hell in a hand basket.
This summer while we were in the states, my daughter saw both candidates on the news one day. With no prompting from me, she looked at me and said, "That's a very bad man, mama." From the mouths of six year olds.
When I woke my daughter up for school this morning I was crying. One of the hardest things I have ever had to do was tell her what had happened. I'd so looked forward to telling her we had a woman president this morning and instead I had to tell her the bad man had won. And try to assuage her fears while feeling terrified myself.
EDIT: And look at that, you guys are mostly asleep and you've already helped. I found the wise words of Nilly that Steph reposted and it made the future seem a tiny bit less bleak.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
We don't much have a night shift anymore. And I'm numb, and plan to stay that way for a while. But I've got a hug for you, if that will help. And yes, Nilly's words, and Kat's, have helped a lot.
Hug your girl.
