Because Caller ID is a golden gift, I don't answer calls whose number I don't recognize. So we had a call from Texas this morning and I ignored it. I just checked it, and it was a robocall urging me to get out and vote for Trump. Seriously. That would have been comical if the election had gone the way everyone expected it to. Instead, I just had white-hot raaaaaaage.

I tried to watch an episode of Drunk History on demand, and one of the commercials I couldn't avoid was for Hillary. So I watched something else instead.

I hate to say it, but I'd rather swallow the horror of Pence than the horror of a nuclear war. It's like Death is Not an Option, only in this case, it is.

Yeah, except. The nuclear war is still a roll of the dice. The Pencetocracy is dead certain.

Also, lucky us, we get both!

I have my Annual Safety Training this afternoon. When we were in NO, DH's work used to call meeting for beers in the afternoon a Safety Meeting. I would much rather be having that type.

I don't want to be around any white people I don't know votes Dem, Like none. I am not going to church anymore, I am going to find something to do in marginalized communities, something.

Yeah. I'm so angry at my fellow white people. Just. Good god.

I've not been able to go to any news sites today, just couldn't take it. Facebook only a tiny bit.

Am making plans to go to Mexico during inauguration because my friend in DC is like "hell no I won't be in town then"

Can you find an African-American church?

Dammit, this was the quote in the top right and now I want to barf again.

Please...Wesley...why can't I stay?

Fred, 'A Hole in the World'

Because fucking patriarchy, Fred.

I'm so sorry, Kalshane. I hope it's better than you expect.

Spidra, welcome back.

I definitely want to get involved somehow, BLM, I don't know. I want specifically to support the work minorities are doing. And this is about me, not you, Rebecca, please don't take it as challenging how you feel or what you are going to do - I am ashamed of myself for taking the easy way out and not confronting probable Trump voters in my extended family. And so, the first simple (but not easy) step I can take is to come out to them. My mom will try to stop me (it's her side of the fam) but I'm not asking for permission or support from her. I am asking for it from my sibs but I will fully understand if they can't do it. And from there I hope to open up a larger conversation.

White people definitely suck.

White men doubly so. I see people like me - white men in their fifties+ - with suits and ties and they are just coded in my lizard brain as "The Enemy."

Getting in touch with my anger. Had to stifle the impulse to yell at some midwestern tourists to get out of my City and go home and eat Applebees. And it's not like they were wearing Trump hats or anything - pure mindless prejudice. But the anger's there.

Oh Kalshane that sucks. So sorry about the car but glad your wife and kid are ok!
