I'm glad your family's feeling fairly ok, Kalshane.
All right, yes, date and shop and hang out and go to school and save the world from unspeakable demons. You know, I wanna do girlie stuff!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Hate makes you stupid. That's the big lesson from this election.
Yoda is still right: "Fear is the path to the dark side. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering."
I had just decided that self-care for me means stopping the non-stop carb fest of the past few days when my coworker brought in an ENORMOUS bag of candy!

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
One of my white male friends posted on FB this morning that Clinton supporters need to find common ground with Trump supporters and reach out in love "because we all want the same thing." Yanno, I'm not obligated to find common ground with people who voted for a ticket that dehumanizes me and damn near everyone I love. And we DON'T all want the same thing; the election made that abundantly clear.
It is the rankest privilege to tell Clinton supporters to find common ground with people who want to literally kill them.

I wish the BBC Miss Marple were streamable somewhere.
You might try pbs streams of Mystery (Masterpiece Mystery, I think they call it now?), at least some Miss Marple may be available through that.
Hate makes you stupid.
I wish we didn't keep getting taught this lesson.
I'm just so afraid of what "taking back our country" is going to mean. Like, physical fight-or-flight reaction afraid.

I'm so curious what Trump supporters who are not self-identified white supremacists think they were voting for. Wait, no, not curious, more just recognizing I don't know and can't imagine.

A couple of my former-military coworkers apparently had their feelings hurt by Black Lives Matter so that's a thing. And these are guys with good secure jobs, who will have a double federal pension, and so forth. They're not economically insecure. It's "fuck you, I got mine" with some extra racism and misogyny.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Had my orthopedist appointment today. I can go crutch-free now, and I can stop wearing the brace in a week to 10 days.

Better paying jobs, religious freedom, pro-life judges, protecting gun rights, supporting the police, defeating Terrorism, restoring American strength in the world, etc... I can think of lots of things.

I feel really bad for Obama. I can't imagine what it will feel like to have everything you've built burned down.
