I can't pull myself up out of despair.
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Our wings are not tired.
Glam, I am sorry. I left all of the Hillary FB groups except the very first one I ever joined. They were driving me nuts.
I know we post here, and we all have uses for Twitter and FB to varying degrees but I can't help that all the social media isn't...a good thing. And there's no going back. It's all become overwhelmingly depressing and upsetting to me. No one gives anyone the benefit of the doubt, or pays attention to nuance, or displays a generosity of spirit. It's just about tearing eachother down and having the pithiest soundbite go viral.
I think it's terrible for America and it culminated in this election. I still may deactivate my accounts because they are an addiction for me in so much as I cannot STOP RAGING AGAINST THE MACHINE.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

I'm in that pit with you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
I went to bed at 7:30 last night, and slept, in fits, until 6:30 this morning. I feel marginally better today.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I still may deactivate my accounts because they are an addiction for me in so much as I cannot STOP RAGING AGAINST THE MACHINE.
I don't WANT to deactivate my accounts, I feel like I know more about what's really goin gon through FB and Twitter than the news, but even so, I'm like you, Nanita, it's almost addicting and it does not make me feel better.
I'm struggling not to slip back into the pit of despair I was in most of the year. I feel like Trump and his deplorable base has robbed me of my spirit.

This, and the connection I have with a few key people, is why I haven't yet. But I also don't know if keeping up with the news this way is helpful for me, either.

The latest thing I shared on FB (these awesome buttons) has brought out the annoying commentators. I'm trying to decide if I have the energy to engage.

I'm so sorry that so many of you are dealing with trolls. I still think the internet has more upside than downside, but it can be so hard to figure out how to avoid the bad. Also, I love this place, in case I hadn't said it recently.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Those attitudes are all over Pantsuit Nation and it doesn't feel like a welcoming, supportive place at all for me anymore. I'm done.
That is so disappointing!
As I've said elsewhere (I think just elsewhere) I'm watching the Million Woman March/Women's March on Washington stuff like a car crash at this point, but I'm otherwise trying to stay out of it.
