Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Oh God. I have no words.

I have warned TCG that staying silent and being nice to relatives on both sides of our family when they say things I find abhorrent is over. Hopefully people will not test me today.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo
I keep hearing that all the working class folks are pissed off at the "elites" for not making their lives better or not caring about them
I don't know about that. According to [link] from exit poll day data, it was college educated white women (64% of the vote for Trump) and college educated white men (72% support for Trump) who voted for Trump more than white women without degrees (45% for Trump) or white men without college degrees 54%.
And let's be clear, that analysis seems nuts to me. Is the WaPo data fucked up?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
My stomach hurts and nothing makes much sense.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
Basically, a whole lot of white folks fucked up. When the factories and pensions fail to come back, and social security is gone, they might have a few regrets. Bet they still find a way to blame Obama.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Man, Samantha Bee is going to be so disappointed in us.

I have no idea what to do with myself today.

Our wings are not tired.
Hugs to all of you. Callaluna, I am so sorry everything is so awful.
I had to cancel my training this morning because I haven't slept and can't stop crying. I unfriended anyone on FB that was pleased with the result, including my brother and my best friend locally. There is just no way I can face anyone that can be happy about this. They got what they asked for, and they are lost to me.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
I went to bed before it was officially called (thanks, sleep meds), and wasn't surprised at the news when I woke up, but oh my god.
If I want to put the least horrifying spin on it, and (for the sake of this statement) set aside the fact that I'm pretty sure half my country is deeply, aggressively bigoted, I can say that I understand that the white rural vote is from a wide swath of people who aren't experiencing the economic recovery that started under Pres. Obama, and they're angry and scared and want a fix. But HOW can they think he's on their side??? How? Things are not going to get better for them.
