(copied from @dxckiii on Twitter) this could literally change everything.

They have begun a recount process. WAKE UP YOUR NEVADA FRIENDS AND MAKE SURE EVERY SINGLE ONE OF THEM CHECK iwillvote.com to make sure their ballot was counted. if it says it was denied, they need to call immediately.

Don't scroll past this. If there's any chance someone from Nevada is following you, they need to see it. Get this as far as possible. Be loud. I know it's easy to feel hopeless right now; god knows I was crying my eyes out for a good chunk of last night, but if there's even a shred of action we can take, we can't let it slip by.

If you know anyone in Nevada, please share this with them. Reblog it. Spread it far and wide, ASAP.

My brain is 100% broken but the current mindset of “if the worse fucking people on the planet get to be happy then why do I deserve to be miserable” is doing all the heavy lifting right now

this is coming from the position of a student, so don't take my word as gospel, but i want to strongly encourage people to prepare for the coming years and look outward to find communities in real life. this can be big like getting involved in fundraisers or organizations or small like going to poc/queer/art social spaces and talking to people. making friends and connections will help you and others build support networks, something you will need as we enter the new term. i know talking to strangers in real life can be scary, unfamiliar, or difficult (depending on where you live especially) and it may take a lot of compromising and work –– and i don't want to condescend –– but we have to try starting now. this is about your safety and welfare, as well as the most vulnerable people's.

if leftists/progressives/minorities want to survive and beat back what's coming, we need to do our work offline too and take up space. an example of getting involved would be (if you're an artist) reaching out to fundraising organizers and making prints of your artwork to donate for raising funds.

Grieve AND organize.

Good article by David Hunter on how to survive the Trump presidency, both on the personal and on the political plane.

Despite it all there are gonna be some cool things, some fun stuff, some great memories, some awesome friends - things you know nothing of yet but will fall in love with. When those things manifest again (because they always do) you will remember that life is worth living, and be proud of yourself for sticking around. I am already proud of you for that 💜

If you need further help in a quick format, here is one, but i urge you to also add in the details for requiring an investigation, not just recount.

I know its a shitty situation and were tired but we still have to try to fight for a life that's worth living.

If you can blaze this post, GO FOR IT!!!

Idk which one of you fuckers started this shit but you need to get it through your heads.

You MUST respect people’s pronouns. (👍)

INCLUDING IF THEY ARE CIS. (🔥😨🔪��)

When I still identified as a girl, I would try to make friends within queer circles and a Significant™️ number of people (in different friend groups!) would ask my pronouns, I’d say “she/her, sorry I’m boring lol”, and then they would REFUSE to call me by my preferred pronouns. It was ALWAYS they/them—which is a good default! Should be the default!! I am glad it’s becoming the default!!! The problem was that i informed them repeatedly that those were NOT the pronouns they should use for me anymore, and was repeatedly denied my gender identity.

“Sorry you just don’t look cis”

“Whoops I thought you were joking”

“Oh yea well I’m not used to those pronouns”

“Oh well I use they/them for everyone it’s not a personal thing”

You’re transphobic.

Any argument you use for not using cis people’s pronouns is a transphobic argument. You are refusing to use people’s preferred pronouns. You are transphobic.

Stop this shit immediately. I’m not gonna say it again (unless I need to :))))) {seriously quit I’m so sick of hearing us do this}

"What's Next?"

This sucks.

For a lot of people, this may be the first time you've experienced this personally. It's not my first crushing disappointment. 2000, 2004, 2016 - I've been through a few rodeos.

Take some time and space, especially away from social media that focuses on placing blame right now. Blaming others is an emotional purge reaction, not a constructive one.

There are some hard conversations that will need to be had when we're ready to rebuild. But those can wait until tomorrow, or next week.

The worst thing that can happen is that we fragment and divide ourselves further. I predict that people are going to turn more insular in the wake of this, and some will be needed (states protecting their people, for example).

I'm going to dip into my scholarly and former activist reserves to find resources to open up conversations that will help us go forward when we're ready. Having more ideas and tools helps with processing so it's not just raw emotions.

As a preview: remember that in a democratic society where everyone votes, the end result you need to go for is getting more people to vote for you. And everything we do needs to keep that in mind.

Take care of yourselves, and take care of each other.

Dear younger generations who are devastated today by the election results. I feel you, I was there in 2000 when Gore lost, and in 2016 when Hilary did too. It is gutting. But know this, we will get through to fight another day. Be kind to yourself and others, channel your feelings into a creative and helpful way. Don’t give up.
