1000% there with you…

“I will not succumb to despair and will do whatever I can to make sure you don’t either. Let us keep faith in our humanity and protect each others’ tender hearts.” I’ve got your bail covered should you need it Jessica 💙💙💙 One of the positive thoughts that I have today is at least we will not have burning buildings and militia crazies out everywhere.

Thank you Jessica. Taking a day of silence & solitude to cope with my shock and grief.

Jess, I was wondering this morning what you were going to publish today at 3pm. Did you write two of these and have one ready for either outcome?

I was working on another one, not about the election at all 🫣

Thank you Jessica for these words. I woke up to finding out and was mad. Hot to work and held it together and then succumbed to crying in my cube. Now, I am just going to focus all my power in getting my affairs in order and continue to care for my community through volunteerism and activism.

I posted elsewhere that we have been here before. The McCarthy era of the 50's is just one of them. We got through that and we will get through this, even though as I like to say, "you can't fix stupid." Just too bad that you can't fix it (meaning sterilizing it so it can't breed.)

Very nice affirmation of the strength of the collective soul. Although I cannot remember the last time I voluntarily played a Widespread song.

P.S. I Also Adore Alliteration. And with it being National Nachos Day (my favorite food), I pounded down half a plate of them at Wexford Pub at lunch...

I just need the “what to do when the neighbor’s house u ride by at least twice daily has a cardboard cutout of TFG + red hat staring out the front window.” Across from a playground & memorial park no less🙄 Sick of it. Put it up Election Day & looks like there is no plan of taking it down. Nice article💙
