My hope is that Pence “steps down” for some unforeseen medical reason (e.g.: lots of $$$), Trump actually is a secret liberal plant and appoints a left-center VP, and then resigns like Nixon.

Also, everyone read this:

What do you mean “do your part?” You didn’t show up. Those numbers are real and they don’t lie. You. DID NOT. SHOW UP.

In addition to getting to work, I mean really, everyone GET TO WORK, all women should consider self-defense classes. I’m researching them. I’ve been groped more than once, and now that that behavior has been approved by the electoral college I’ll be damned if my next groper doesn’t end up with testicular torsion.

I’m not tired. I’m awake. We keep trying to pretend like white people didn’t do EXACTLY what we knew they would. The only part of the strategy that didn’t work was low turnout with latinos and blacks. If they came out in Obama’s numbers HILARY WOULD BE PRESIDENT. All that had to happen was WE SHOW UP LIKE WE DID FOR…

The most awesome thing about this is how much damage it will do to the people who actually voted for this person.

I teach middle school. Near retirement. Under the radar TS. Androgyny for survival. But hormones and the full deal. Had planned to come out soon. Not now. Not in this state in which I now live. A state which by choice provides no protection for us. And soon likely even less.

I am a 57 year old gay woman who melted down several times at work. I work with Republicans who supported Trump, but now they are realizing how bad he is for actual people they know. Since we are on the Left Coast their voting support did not put him into office, but now they are faced with the reality of their…

I’ll go back into my hole now. Sorry about showing up and trying to show support like a normal human.

This was lovely, albeit in a harrowing way. Mixed in with my fury and despair today, I also feel so deeply naive. Then I feel even more foolish for asking questions like “but HOW could this have happened?” I don’t know how it happened, and I don’t know how to describe or quantify the loss I feel. This piece was a…

Trump may be president-elect, but he does not represent me at all. Those who voted for him do not share the same values as I do.

This election has brought on so much PTSD. After being the victim of workplace bullying recently, watching a man bully his way into the highest office in the world makes me sick to my stomach. Trying to process this all has been really hard. I just want to hug my pillow and cry myself to sleep. Maybe the funny…

I’ll offer this ray of hope. Probably won’t get out of the greys, but it’s worth saying.

I can’t believe I was so naive. Fuck this country, for real.

I tried falling asleep at 10:00 after crying for a while. Managed to wake up at 12:00, saw the results, and cried some more.

I would love it if someone with more musical experience/knowledge could tell me if there’s a vocal reason, but I just can’t get over how bad his voice sounds to me? Like, he genuinely sounds like a very average singer. I don’t mean this as an insult, but it’s hard for me to listen to him sing and I’m curious if it’s…

I use mine all the time. But I work from home, so I’m practically all leisure (not this shitty athleisure bullshit, real leisure) all the time.

I LOVE Kacey Musgraves and her fashion choices. Like Taylor Swift, she can do no wrong in my book. Also, Besides her and a few others, I’m not a country music fan but Marren Morris is outstanding and her album is adorable. “Drunk Girls Don’t Cry” is my jam.

This is only tangentially related but one of my favorite jokes on Greg the Bunny is this exchange between Dottie (the adorable human sidekick on a kid’s show) and Alison, a network executive:

I’m going to have this trailer projected on the giant white sheet that closes over the FIRE HOLE that my coffin slowly rolls into at my cremation.
