I just donated to both the ACLU and the Southern Poverty Law Center in Donald Trump’s name. Next up is volunteering with Planned Parenthood and the League of Women Voters. I’m trying to find all the ways that I can to be proactive and not sink into despair.

Yeah, but then there’s Mike Pence behind him. And he truly fucking terrifies me.

Me too!! I’ve been binge watching entire seasons because I’m so depressed about this election. My go to moments list is looooooong but off the top of my head: “just stand there in your wrongness and be wrong,” “...your weekly meeting of the ignorant tightass society...,” all of Dead Irish Writers, all of In Excelsis…

Read election coverage and drink myself into a depressed stupor!

Oh man - that’s no fun at all. I was diagnosed with food allergies about a month ago, so I know exactly what you’re going through! The hard part is the fact that something hits you and you have no idea what’s happening. I’ve been doing quite a lot of research because I was having similar problems with nasal stuff (and…

Ugh. Bikram and Donald Trump should go bowling together - they’re a match made in the 9th circle of Hell.

Thanks! If I think of anything else, I’ll send that along too 😀

Woohoo!! I went to college there - a lovely liberal arts (and fairly progressive) college. The University of South Alabama is there as well. It’s a stunningly beautiful city, if somewhat industrial down by the river and the Bay (it’s a port). There’s a decent nightlife scene - don’t miss seeing Downtown Mobile. Chock…

Thanks! Yikes - what a journey for your dad! So far, I’ve got definite allergies to dairy, poultry, spinach, chocolate, cucumber and a then there’s a couple of other items that I have mild allergy to (everything I like to eat basically!) But the doc did point out that the inflammation may be causing me to react to the…

Thank you! This is incredibly helpful! I wasn’t actually familiar with rotation diet so this makes me feel more hopeful that I might still be able to eat some things, just on a more managed basis. And I live in FL, so generally speaking I’ve got access to a variety of alternatives and substitutes.

Thanks! Yeah, I did decide that since this is going to be a long process, it made sense to step down from some of these items rather than just quit suddenly. I’m fortunate in that the symptoms aren’t debilitating, but they aren’t fun (chronic stomach issues, fatigue, hair loss, etc). I’m also being evaluated for…

Sadly, I think I’m doomed to be a perpetual grey, but I’ve been Jezzie lurking for years & I’ve come to appreciate the wisdom of the crowd here. I’m looking for advice - am currently undergoing the whole food allergy testing process and it’s a bit of a mind blower tbh. Scratch test came back with SO many allergies &…

With the shitshow I had to deal with at work today, combined with the debate bs, I’d have to raise all my fingers AND my toes!

Oh this gives me a tremendous sad. He was such a genuinely nice man. He had a lot of time to spend with younger kids learning golf & he was incredibly nice to an awkward teenager who flirted with golf and was his standard bearer for many a TPC Masters event.

Oh my god. He looks like a thumb. It just adds that much more stupid to his whole persona.

You bastards!!

He’s not bad. He’s just not exciting. He’s a solid legislator with a good history of progressive voting. She was never going to choose someone from outside the “safe” column, because she needs all of her energy to fight Cheeto Jesus. That said, and I'm not elf-shaming, but Tim Kaine looks like a demented Keebler elf.

What body part do I have to part with to get Michelle Obama to drive me to work every morning? I would be willing since she would make the stupid commute to my soulless place of employment SO worth it.
