I had to turn the radio to a music station. But even that didn't help. The playlist as I listened:

The Idiot Kings

Until The End Of The World

Im Nin'Alu

Farewell To The Good Times

It's The End of the Worlds As We Know It

Fight For Your Mind

Nowhere Man

You Want It Darker

Shelter Song

Karma Police

SOS (Overboard)

Blame it On Cain

Hold on hope

Lost On You

I Gotta Get Drunk

I almost laughed.

And none of us deserving the cruelty or the grace -- Leonard Cohen

Love to all of you. Take care of yourselves today. I am glad I decided to take this week off of work, because I can barely get out of bed right now.

Thanks for the Nilly words, Steph. They helped.

Ann, that's a ferret.

I'm at work, but I know I won't get anything done.

I fear America is dead.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Song for the playlist: Bad moon rising. Just came on my iPhone - a cover version by a local band, the Reels.

Another local artist, Kate Miller-Heidtke, has The last day on earth. And he'll, how about TMBG's Your racist friend.

I just sent some $ to Planned Parenthood and will be sending some to the National Democratic Redistricting Committee.

A friend and I are working on a playlist called Trumpocalypse as a distraction. Bring on your suggestions, Buffistas!

The Clash (a good choice under almost any circumstance): Know Your Rights

Oh my sweet Buffistas.

I have been up all night, mostly because I'm on deadline but also because I couldn't sleep anyway. I'm rarely in Natter, but I can't bear to look at other social media so I just wanted to check in here to give the Buffistas a big hug and note that I am absolutely heartsick and devastated.

So, um, hi, Natterers! Too bad I missed the Delurking thread cut-off.

And now I have to turn my eyes to my other task of the day, a rapid-fire update of the American Government book I was lead editor on most of last year. I prepped the chapters for the content lead this past week and I had been so looking forward to the task of editing his updates. Now the idea turns my stomach.

I'm just so appalled right now. And scared for this country. And ashamed. And utterly stunned. I don't quite know how to process this.

In any case, much love to you all.
