I am dreading going to work today

[thestarsofpines]

take my hand for a moment

your objective from this point on is to survive

the election results are going to take a few days. The world is going to be very tense. I want you to take all the things you like to do to distract yourself and splurge on them. I want you to go eat your favroite foods and spend time with friends. I want you to do what you gotta do to make sure you can make it through the week.

There are people out there who want you to survive. There are people out there who are just as scared as you are.

We'll get through this. We will find a way

[thestarsofpines]

I hope none of you disappear in the coming days. Seriously don't do anything that can't be undone.

Some snippets of good news (sorry for no sources, grabbing things from Twitter here)

• New York and Maryland have passed measures to protect abortion

• Ruben Gallego is projected to defeat Kari Lake for a much-needed Democratic Senate gain in Arizona (replacing Kysten Sinema, who had become an independent)

• Rep. Lisa Blunt Rochester will become the first woman and first black person to represent Delaware in the Senate.

• Angela Alsobrooks will become the first black woman to represent Maryland in the Senate.

• ^This is the first time 2 black women have been elected to the US Senate at the same time. Only 3 black women have served in the Senate before them: Carol Moseley Braun, Kamala Harris, and Laphonza Butler, who is a current Senator (D-CA).

*Update:

• Sarah McBride (D-DE) will become the first transgender person in the US Senate.

Nearly 14,000 mail ballots in Nevada have signature issues

Officials urge residents to use online tool to check if ballot was accepted

The total number of ballots — 13,906 — needing curing include 6,383 from registered nonpartisan or other voters, 4,026 from Democrats and 3,497 from Republicans.

The deadline for voters to cure their ballots is 5 p.m. Nov. 12, officials said. Ballots can be cured here.

The main issue they're having with young voters is that Nevada allows for voter registration through the Department of Motor Vehicles, and the "signatures" are digital (the licensee types it into a form), so their hand-written signatures on their ballots don't match the KEYSTROKES that serve as signatures on their license.

It would be hilarious if it weren't so fucking infuriating.

I’m studying history and if there is one thing humans are really good at it’s surviving shitty situations.

Take the small wins and happinesses.

I encourage people to add to the list.

My feelings after this election and probably for the rest of my life.

The rest of the world is gonna be distancing themselves from the US now.

[thestarsofpines]

feeling crappy about my art, it’s very hard to not compare myself to others.

I think I’m just in a general crappy mood to begin with, which I need to get out of so I can go to work successfully tomorrow. I will go in tomorrow. I have to.

Had to make a meme to describe me currently

[thestarsofpines]

When you’ve been cooking for long enough, you stop making recipes and start making “shit in a skillet” and “whatever soup”
