My husband’s grandfather is Czech. He was forcibly conscripted by the Germans, and defected to the British the first chance he got.

I hear you. I am Canadian and one of the candidates to replace Stephen Harper as the leader of the Conservative Party has said she wants “bring Donald Trump’s exciting message to Canada.”

I’ve always wondered how I would have reacted if I had been German when Hitler came to power.

Here’s what is confusing me about this not at all brave new world we are entering. A year ago I would have sworn it was a universal feeling that Nazis were and are the worst. But now swastikas are showing up all over the place and some real deep and mean hate has bubbled over.

I read on Twitter that Austria is set to elect a far right party whose leader has said that Islam has no place in Austria.

Yesterday I went out and was super paranoid. Today is no different. I want to fight back but this is a spectacularly painful blow. I feel betrayed by my neighbors even. Its hard when you arent in a big metropolitan city like NYC and youre a POC in a small white suburb. The threat is so much larger. Ugh. I am so…

True, but everything The U.S. does effects Canada, and Obama is extremely popular there, where politics are slightly to the left. Everyone is heartbroken.

I saw the video on Twitter this morning and cried. This week has been like a punch in the gut. Since Tuesday night, when I posted on FB that I had voted for Hillary, there are people at work who I thought were reasonable that are now noticeably cooler towards me. I’ve had to deal with a family member being…

Unrequited love is a bitch. Especially when it’s for someone who is a close friend.

Anecdotal story: while taking a walk today in a scenic town north of San Francisco, I saw a few changes to the scenery:

Last night my car and my boyfriend’s motorcycle were vandalized. We’re an interracial couple (I’m white, he’s Asian). Our vehicles were parked nowhere near each other. One one else’s vehicles were hit.

It would seem that I owe all you Jezzies an apology.

I notice I’m feeling darker than ever before. Not in the way after my cat died, that was more of a soul-sucking ice cold house experience. This is more of a black heart of despair end of humanity. Most of all it felt like I was being crushed by a hundred boulders when I imagined the look on Hillary’s face as she lost.…

A safety pin isn’t doing anything. Take action. Also I was wondering if anyone else deleted Facebook? I say this about safety pins because there is a huge backlash on Twitter. I understand both sides. People are saying wtf will I do with a safety pin and i see the other side which shows you stand with people.

This past week. Ugg. What was more upsetting then I realized was seeing a woman who bullied me (along with her twin sister) in high school supporting trump and calling the protesters ‘crybabies’.
Of course she’d think that. She probably doesn’t even acknowledge the fact that they made my life a living hell in high…

I work in an industry that depends on regulation. I figure I’m losing my job (and general ability to be employed) before most folks. I’m not really sure what to do now, my husband and I have been saving to buy a house and maybe were thinking of having kids and now it just feels like any hope of normal “life” is done…

Thanks for bringing this up. I am going to get on her ass as well. Horrifying.

She was an exceptionally awful person. And the revelation was made calmly, not in the middle of a fight, so I totally believe it’s true.

I’m still in numb cold shock about the election. I know we all are here (except the trolls) but I watch a LOT of sci-fi, and watching protesting crowns surround a “Tower” emblazoned with the name of a demagogue who’s poised to take power and run the USA... I honestly feel like I’m living in some alternate future. I’ve…

I’ve been working extra hard at the gym. I am planning on backpacking in the rocky mountains next summer, and for one brief moment after the election I thought about giving up on that goal, because it’s going to be expensive and my job is suddenly threatened by the president-elect and I need to be careful.
