you’re 100% right. throwing up my hands and saying there’s nothing that can be done is the exact opposite of what i should be doing. i’m so worn out from this election but it’s not going to be anything compared to what’s to come.

I WANT TO BELIEVE but this sounds like a hail mary and i don’t think my heart can handle this. it would be really satisfying to find out that michigan should have gone blue, though.

why does this not surprise me? an uneducated public is easier to control.

pay no attention to reality, citizens, your dear leader says that everything is going big league!

not gonna lie, i’m loving the mental image of a drunk girl trying to bribe a doorman with a piece of pizza.

knitpicks! i’ve ordered from them multiple times and have never been disappointed!

you guys, i just bought SO MUCH YARN

so michigan can look forward to even more visits from dear leader? w o n d e r f u l

in a twisted way, i envy susan sarandon. her money and privilege allow her to live in this wonderful bubble of ‘oh, a revolution, what fun!’ and the rest of us have to schlep through the mud actually FIGHTING that ‘fun, romantic, this will win someone an oscar in twenty years’ revolution.

isn’t this so classic trump? he’s like a gold-plated midas, just lets everyone think he owns whatever his name ends up on. his entire candidacy— hell, his entire brand— is built on hot air, it’s all an illusion.

i think i heard this on npr, but republicans will vote for dog catcher if its a fellow republican. voter turn out has ALWAYS helped the left because the people who don’t/can’t vote are people who will vote dem— poc, working class, etc. obviously there a lot of other factors at work here, like trying to win a third…

beauty and the beast is my favorite disney movie from my childhood, stockholm syndrome and all, and i couldn’t be less excited about this movie if i tried. WHAT IS THAT BALL GOWN and what’s the point of doing a ‘live action’ movie if everything in it has to be cgi anyway?

he really can’t form a coherent thought or a complete sentence, can he?

i come from a family of hunters, so i’m not completely unfamiliar with firearms. i just don’t like the idea of using them for personal protection, there are so many things that can go wrong. if we do end up going that route, they’ll be under lock and key, and we thankfully don’t have any kids living the house. i…

my wife and i were talking about guns the other day. i really fucking hate them, but i don’t want to be vulnerable, either.

i think you’re probably right. whereas people would have just stewed in silence before, they’re acting out now because they feel like there won’t be any repercussions. it’s terrifying :c

i set up a recurring donation to the aclu, and i’ve been knitting a lot. i’ve had a few relatively successful conversations with some coworkers, too. but i’ve mostly just been trying to keep it together. i’m the ‘strong one’ in my household, and it helps me to help them keep it together.

i’m so fucking scared, you guys. i thought for sure the area i live in was okay— we’re one of a handful of counties in michigan to go blue— but there have been a lot of disturbing incidents. racist graffiti was showing up at a university even before the election results, and now there’s been even more, along with a…

horrifying, absolutely horrifying.
