Nobody can save you but yourself and you’re worth saving. It’s a war not easily won but if anything is worth winning then this is it.

I know I’m not alone when I say the news I’m hearing isn’t the news I wanted to hear today. I basically unwillingly pulled an all-nighter because of how keyed up I was with anxiety. I hate these results. I’m stunned by the them. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a worse campaign than the one Donald Trump ran. And he won. He fucking won. Didn’t even lose the popular vote. Election Nostradamus was wrong. The thing I’ve been afraid of for the last year actually happened.

I’m gonna be honest. It scares the hell out of me. But I’ve got two thoughts that I think I need to get out. Might as well do so here.

First thing: put down your phone. Don’t read the news. The temptation to read analyses and breakdowns and what happens next type news is real. I know that. I feel it too. But marinating in this isn’t gonna be good for us. It is what it is. I hate it too. Spending every waking moment thinking about Project 2025 and Trump’s threats and all that garbage is just going to make you feel bad. If you already feel bad, you don’t want to feel worse. The first thing you need to do is take care of yourself.

Second thing: Live. Be kind. Be compassionate. Support your community. Be loving to the people you love. Be loving towards strangers. And keep fighting. This is a pretty fucking bad setback. But it’s not defeat unless we allow it to be. You know what is defeat? Despair and fatalism. Defeatism. The greatest loss is surrendering to despair.

I know it’s hard right now. The best thing you can do is be compassionate to yourself and be compassionate to others. There’s gonna be a lot of vile hatred spit towards the most vulnerable among us in the coming days. We must demonstrate to those people that we love them more than others hate them.

Today, we are alive. Today we exist. Perhaps in some way that is its own act of rebellion. I hate that it must be, but so be it. Keep existing. And keep doing what you can do to leave the world better for your presence in it. Make art. Speak out. Love. Do not let this take those things away from you. For that is how they truly win.

Hey..Could..I sit with someone? It could be you, a character, many or one. We could talk or simply sit there in a comfortable silence. I just...Don't want to be alone right now, I could use the company. I love you all, stay strong...

Friend I think you need Time's cloak, it's comfortable, it makes you feel protected and it helps you feel better 💖

Also Time knows how to listen, even if he is silent you can be sure that he is always listening to you

I'm sending you lots of hugs! Be strong!💖

Whatever the 1% says, do the opposite stand together and we will flip the script and it will be ALL the people saying you are wrong. 🤔
