That moment when you realize you opened all interesting articles from io9 up in multiple tabs, twenty+ total, and one of them is now talking to you. You panic, clicking them all, WHICH ONE OF THESE FUCKERS IS DOING IT. Tap, tap, taptaptapTAPTAPTAP...

My mom watches Dr. Oz all the time like she did Oprah. She gives me medical advice whenever I’m sick. I told her about his validity and she’s very much, “nah.”

Wow. So basically the only advice you (or whoever wrote it first at Zen Habits) are giving us is, “Just overcome your fear, get off your bum, and do it, you fraidy cat!” Why did I just waste my time with this article? Oh, yeah, I was avoiding something else.

Like kids today are any different than kids have always been. They just have new technology.

I’m too fucking lazy to not enjoy missionary and I’ll admit it.

I must say, I enjoy missionary. Something about the way I’m made makes it quite advantageous.

Fear not. This was the last gasp of a racist, sexist generation. Look at the breakdown of voters aged 18-25:

Oh man. Don’t do it. You can’t influence those people. They WANT to be dumb rednecks. They’re proud of it. You’ll just end up spontaneously combusting out of frustration.

My best friend and I are going to join the League of Women Voters. It’s a small step but it’s the best we could do today.

Please don’t. His VP is even worse. And if they both die, then Paul Ryan becomes Pres.

Okay but what if instead of breathing and concentrating I’ve crawled under my desk, shut my eyes tight, covered my ears and mumbled ohgodohgodohgodohgod over and over for like 40 minutes straight? Same result?

I would like that as well.

I’ve been sobbing. Not only is trump winning but we’re not going to get our first women president. It’s official I fucking hate this country.

I am so sorry. I am in tears with you. This is horrible and I am more terrified of my own country—that I always knew didn’t care for my Black, female ass—than I’ve ever been. They truly hate me and so many other groups of people.

I have numerous pre-existing conditions and I’m right there with you, without the ACA I’d be completely fucked with my multiple chronic illnesses. I’m sorry you’re in this shitty boat with me. 

I’m a white male in my thirties and I am legitimately terrified right now.

I’m poor and disabled and I’m going to lose my health care if the ACA is repealed. There’s a very real chance a Trump presidency will literally kill me because my chronically ill ass will no longer be able to get insurance and I can’t afford the treatments that are keeping me alive without it. And the worst part is

Give your girl a hug for me. And take one for yourself. Because sitting here as a heterosexual white girl, I can’t even begin to imagine what you’re going through without the gorge in me rising...

I am so sorry. I can’t think of anything else to say. As an American, I am so ashamed of my country. I vow to work harder for the rest of my life to improve this nation. Something needs to be done.

Hugs.
