Godspeed Bernie.

I’m fighting against his presidency tbh. I am perfectly happy to delegitimize him by whatever means necessary. It’s what he did to Obama when he decided to become the Grand Wizard of Birtherism. I am glad to find whatever tactics are available to return the favor.

Why in the hell should we give Trump a blank slate just because he was elected fairly? That’s not a statement you backed up in any way. Why shouldn’t we trust that he’ll do or at least attempt to do the things he has promised to do?

I’ve definitely become more assertive with men since Tuesday. My boyfriend is practically afraid of me.

I chuckled at “determine who are the terrific people.” He knows like 4 adjectives. I laugh in order to not cry.

Jez should create a living document of all these stories. There are already hundreds and it’s been four days.

Heh heh heh. Laura, nobody’s gonna call me the worst president of their lifetimes anymore! Best day ever. Heh heh heh.

I doubt it since it would never get out the public. I’m sure his transition team is busy finding a whole other team in charge of cleaning up after him. Like a much shittier version of Olivia Pope and Associates.

You’re completely right about all of this. I just wish it wasn’t so painful.. I know some people are ready to be “out” about it to their family/friends (I even saw one FB friend mention her assault in a post) but I can’t and probably never will and I wish I felt like that was ok (in that there’s no one to validate…

And I send you virtual hugs back. It’s beyond sad our next president has no morals and no respect for women. Despite his unenthusiastic claims that “Nobody respect women more than me”. Women are objects of entertainment to him. Let’s see how long it is before he grabs some poor staffers ass or kisses them on their…

Ugh, that is so awful and I can relate so much, I almost started bawling again.

This election has triggered me too. Things you feel you’ve managed to find a way to deal with have come back in a very painful way. Everyone who dismissed the things he’s done and voted for him are the same people who blame the victims. He forces his will upon women and they are ok with that. It’s sickening.

I’m sorry you had to live through this pain, but also very happy that you made new friends <3

That’s so awful, I’m so sorry. Friends at that age can suck. I was assaulted at 20, and while my friends believed me, some of them felt that was a bit more of a headache that they wanted to deal with. It was up there with, worst week of my life. I’ve gotten new friends and I’m glad you have to! Stay strong xx

I’d say it was when we lost our home due to my mom’s heroin addiction. I was 17 and just trying to finish up high school. My mom just finally lost herself after being a smoke anything/drink anything anyone paid for type of person who never seemed to get dependent. She and her best friend tried heroin and they both…

Fuck it, fight it, it’s all the same.

She is so right. I really have been laboring over that question with every fellow white person I run into: did you vote for Trump? 

nah

Yesterday was one of the hardest days of my life. Woke up hungover on three hours of sleep to watch my kid (19 months) all day (stay at home dad), and mostly I just let him do what he wanted, be that throwing his toys everywhere around the house or going catatonic watching Bubble Guppies for an hour longer than he…

alcohol. Lots and lots of alcohol.
