I posted about how scared some of my students (middle schoolers, so 10-14 years old) were on Wednesday, and my father (Trump supporter) had the gall to say that everyone’s overreacting, give him a chance, he’ll be great. I told him to fuck off and he said he’ll never speak to me again until I apologize, which won’t…

I feel completely, 100% changed forever. And I’m not exaggerating.

My history with my dad is not as awful as yours, but yes, that is what it feels like. My mom, too. Not sad about losing my stepdad, he’s the reason my mom is awful now. My stepmom is functionally illiterate (descriptor, not judgment) and literally follows whatever my dad says. They’ve all voted for hatred and bigotry.…

OMG me too. When the Resistance needs to rise, we need to be armed.

I think I’m too late to this party, but I’ll share. Though, compared to this week, my other worst week was a cake walk.

I’m so sorry. That’s awful and I can’t imagine how terrible it feels.

Maybe I’ll read Harry Potter. I’ve been feeling the urge to rewatch Deathly Hallows (both, but especially 2) bc I think it captures the fear I’m feeling right now.

Being estranged from my family is a weird feeling, but I can’t think about them voting for taking away my rights as a woman without nausea so it’s the only way. Nothing has worked, not even Xanax. Sometimes, when my despair becomes anger, I plan the resistance. But other times all I can do is stare at the wall in…

I had kids fret over being deported; one Latina girl overheard a classmate saying “now we can kick out all the Mexicans!”; one’s worried travel from Muslim countries will be banned and she won’t see her father again. All I could do was choke back my own tears, give them hugs, and then curl up under my desk when I was…

My dad and I became estranged today when I posted about the real responses my students had this morning, and he had to comment that Trump “said in his speech today!!” that he was going to unite everyone, and everyone’s overreacting, and I basically said “fuck you tell that to these students” and he said he won’t speak…

My first time voting for president, 2004, I voted for Bush. He didn’t win my state so his victory isn’t entirely my fault, but I’ve regretted that decision ever since. I was a foolish young Republican (or at least I thought I was).

Honestly, though, even if he did, I don’t think it’d matter at this moment. His horrendous performance at the debates is all but forgotten. We have such terrible memories.

I honestly thought during the whole “you’re the puppet” thing that it was going to slip, but alas.

I’m sure he calls her that all the time behind closed doors, but to my knowledge he hasn’t slipped up and said it in public. At least not in those words, he definitely flirts with it. That’s my surprise; that he’s had any restraint at all.

OMG this gif!

LOL I had a gyno use schmear in reference to my vag, so this comment amused me

Gasp! This is revolutionary! Thank you!!

I haven’t seen this movie in far too long, and it’s one of my favorites. Must remedy this soon.

These women do know they’re about to be brutally murdered and eaten, right? They HAVE to know.

:’( Should’ve gotten them earlier. That first t-shirt was a primary purchase and it came fairly quickly — a couple weeks, I think. Oh well. Maybe by November LOL
