It's over. I can't breathe. I am sick.
The whole earth may be sucked into Hell, and you want my help 'cause your girlfriend's a big ho?

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

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.

Hugs back, Beverly.

I am here for your night shift.
There is still a fight to fight. And you can do this. You made it through two Bush administrations. So you can.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I can't sleep.
Fucking white people. Fucking white men.
Incidentally one woman tweeted it was the lowest turnout since 2000. If that's true, then that's why this happened.
When I think about how much I hated looking at Dubya's face as the President, and now we have President Elect Trump. I can't even wish him dead because Pence is scarier. A real religious freak.
I can't say it made me lose faith in my country because 2004 did that. But...the polls were SO wrong. Like Dewey Beats Truman wrong.

Holy Shit! I went to bed and didn't watch. I dididnt think it was possible that I underestimated the hatred in our country. It is mind numbing.
