I'm holding on to Arizona going blue. If we can hold Michigan and Wisconsin and Pennsylvania that will be enough.
If not....fuck this fucking country.
Nobody can tell Marmaduke what to do. That's my kind of dog.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
It's so infuriating that it's even close considering how absolutely terrible and outmatched Trump has been for his entire presidency.
538 is pointing out that in any other democracy this would be a blowout in favor of Biden, but the Electoral College makes it possible for Trump to win.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Okay, I think it's Ambien time for me. There's too much that won't be known tonight, and I'm definitely at the point of just spinning myself up.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
My friend who is a journalist is saying we likely won’t know until Thursday. Get sleep.

I’m also trying not to panic but it’s early here. Am at least with friends. Ugh.
JZ totally get it. If I had a way to get citizenship or residency anywhere else I would. (Any foreigners or folks with other citizenship want to get married?)

An American Ninja Warrior responded to me on twitter. I would be excited but he .. supports Trump .. so gross. Although I totally got the Trump supporter vibe from him.
I don't think any races should be called until all the votes are in.
I went to sleep thinking Gore had won, only to wake up and find out he.. conceded. On the little map from Google Montana keeps flipping as the votes count

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The popular vote is killing me. How did 48 million people vote for that man? How is that possible?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
meara, apparently both Greece and Italy are hurting for residents--you can get permanent residency in either place, even without ancestry there, fairly easily.
I think Greece is my only other option on the planet for outright citizenship, remote though it be--I'm very good at what I do, but what I do is common enough, and my own skill level is dependent enough on having been with one specific CA-based employer for so many years, that I'm not eligible to immigrate anywhere else on earth as a work-permit-holding productive resident with a path to citizenship, only an expat layabout living off the funds available to me since the current occupant killed my father.
But then I think of all the work I've put in on anti-racist eduction and community support, and I feel like shit for even thinking about fleeing because of all the people who don't even have that as an option.

Yeah, we could go to Canada but also can't leave Baltimore.

I have no options to move. All my great grand parents and most of my great great grandparents (I assume, maybe all of them) were born in the US. I have no skills. So this is it.
Ok so I've just had an exchange with Joe Morvasky on Twitter (American Ninja Warrior dude) and he tried to pull the "maybe Trump acts like a bully becaue the media and social media bully him" and nope. not letting that go.
