I was talking with my dad tonight and told him that today i am surprisingly not nervous about my upcoming top surgery but I am nervous about my job without much of a founded reason so i think that my nerves are like finding something to project my nervousness onto, and he was like (paraphrasing) "well you could worry about the election and the risk to our democracy if trump were to get elected again and how it's not only your future at stake but your (general you) children's future as well 😊 you're welcome"

He meant it genuinely, he was sincerely trying to help, and it was good to talk to him/talking to him generally did make me feel better, but OOF

#doom tw #us election tw #as we were wrapping up talking because he was about to go to bed #i ended up unexpectedly having to make the weakest and least informed argument for police abolition #my argument doesnt matter that much because hes the type of person to look into these things himself #so i was more just introducing the idea #but like badly #i sent him the link to the police abolition movement wikipedia page after we hung up and he said he'll check it out #so its okay #but DOUBLE OOF
