I do not plan to treat anyone who voted for Trump with any respect at all. And I will let them know why. These people are scum. To hell with them. If one of them were dying in front of me and all I had to do to save their life was dial 911, I would not make the call. I will never harm a Trump supporter (except not…

Wait just a second here...I thought she was a frigid bitch, not emotional and human. Huh.

And what man would that be? The man who is now our President Elect, who threw temper tantrums about not conceding, it all being rigged, and started a fucking lawsuit because he didn’t think it was fair that people who were in line to vote got to vote? The fragile white men (this does not let the white women who voted…

Oh please. I’m a teacher and a white male. And if one of my students is in distress, I will help them. If my wearing a safety pin enables them to recognize me as someone to turn to, then I goddamn well will wear a safety pin. I’m in a good position to know resources to which they can turn. Of course there will be…

I actually watched the first primary debate at my parents’ house, the infamous one after which Trump was all “waaahhh waaaahhh Megyn Kelly picked on me, is she on her period or what?!” So that tells you how different things were with my dad if I tolerated being in the same zip code, let alone same room, while Trump…

So, it is almost 4 AM where I am right now and I still cannot sleep. These are the worst hours. My husband sleeps soundly in bed, I’m watching TV with the cats. Since the Cheeto won I feel angry and anxious all night and depressed and painfully tired all day. Listening to calming sounds to see if I feel any sleepy.…

I try to stay away for the most part when it comes to actually engaging. I’ll post articles but I rarely comment on other people’s stuff unless I agree.

Hey, look after you. Be kind to yourself. Maybe there’s some other way you can feel involved like volunteering or donating to one of the orgs Jezebel listed? I’m also having a sucky week, and was given a link to some guided meditations by a counselor. If you’d like it, I can share. I don’t know if that’s helpful, but…

Jezebel has basically been my support group since the election. It’s a welcome refuge from Facebook. One troll called me a “melodramatic little bitch,” but other than that, it’s all been love. :)

Bless you. At least the toxic narcissists are my future ex-husband and future ex-in-laws, but unfortunately, they are the only local family I have right now.

Take it easy yourself! You’re obviously a good person, cut yourself some slack.

Im proud of my three abortions and even prouder my government paid for them.

This is the exact shit every one of my lily white (sorry woke white folks #notallwhitefolks) in laws has been telling me, because apparently I am *hysterical* and *at the verge of a breakdown*.

That’s great. I’ve read snippets of it on...Slate I want to say. And it’s astonishing to me that people don’t follow that rule. He’s shown us who he is, in actions and words. Why don’t they (the cautiously optimistic) believe him? Was it Maya Angelou that said when someone shows you who they are, believe them the…

I have definitely taken comfort in the fact that there are plenty of people out there who are concerned, including even some white dudes. I was trying to explain that to my husband earlier—that we know it’s not like the protests are going to overturn the election or whatever, but it’s about making it clear that we’re…

I’m just glad that you and I and most others on here acknowledge that we care about other people. And aren’t just concerned with how our own homes are functioning. Because the people who voted for him, who downplay his attitude, who otherwise support him are telling minorities, women, and immigrants that they don’t…

I’m so sorry. I’m feeling the same way. Our house had a no political TV policy. His name can’t be spoken in our house. I “liked” the one Clinton hiking photo on Instagram and almost had a heart attack when his face showed up in “Posts you might like”. I clicked on a million cat photos hoping that would confuse the…

SO, it isn’t just me. Yeah, I can’t eat without throwing up since Tuesday. I’m falling into bad habits again and I keep crying at random times.

God fucking dammit. I had an abortion several years ago. I’m tired of having to justify it. I’m tired of feeling like I should be ashamed or keep it a secret.

I had an abortion. I don’t regret it. I’d do it again if I had to. I don’t owe anyone an explanation. And I don’t give a single flying fuck what these people…

Closely related: if someone else posts something about “you’re assigning him too much power; he’s the president, what matters is what you do in your OWN house,” I’m going to throat-punch them. Soooo...where was the casual attitude a week ago when you acted like the country was going to spontaneously combust if we…
