What kind of man would put a known criminal in charge of a major branch of government? Apart from, say, the average voter.

On January 10, 2004, the Teen Titans episode titled "How Long is Forever?" first premiered. In that episode, Starfire is transported 20 years into a twisted future where the Titans have all separated because she disappeared.

Since the episode aired 20 years ago, that would mean that today is the day she came back.

Everything feels awful right now but it isn't really. We still don't officially have a winner, but regardless of how the presidential election ends up, I wanted to take a minute and find what lights I can in the 3 a.m. darkness. Here's what I know:

* Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to undermine the public education system by offering private school vouchers:

* Delaware has elected a transgender woman to the House of Representatives, the first out trans person of any gender ever elected to congress:

* For the first time in history, two Black women will be serving in the senate at the same time, and they are only the fourth and fifth Black women ever elected to the senate:

* New York State has passed a constitutional amendment enshrining the rights of pregnant people (including the right to an abortion), LGBTQIA+ people, the disabled, immigrants regardless of legal status, and other at-risk groups:

* Democrat Josh Stein has beaten self-avowed Nazi Mark Robinson to become governor of North Carolina:

That's everything I know off the top of my head. It's not many bright spots, but it's not zero. I'm going to try to find more and I'll add them to the post. It's the only thing I can think of to do that isn't sobbing and throwing up or looking up Canadian immigration rules.

If you know more good news, I encourage you to add it in reblogs.

I dunno yall.

It's like.

It's like yes. Yes, harm has been done. No, we can't undo it. We can't unkill the forest spirit. But we can minimize the fallout. We can try to stop making it worse. We can find a way forward. It won't ever be the same, but you can't just give up. You have to keep trying because you're still alive and you can make it less bad.

And it just.

It just makes me want to cry.

But like, in a cathartic way.

It's only a passing thing, this shadow.

I'm not American, so I can't fill this out, and I don't know if this user has posted this here as well, so I'll share it just in case they haven't and to boost it.

Regardless, please.

Please, live, please keep fighting. Don't let them win, even if you have to live to spite the world, if existence is rebellion. <3 Please check in on your friends, cry together, call each other, hold each other, create some art alone or together, eat your comfort food, and support each other. Please take care of yourself and others. Here's some hotlines. ❤️ This isn't over, and there have been some victories for example some transgender individuals have won seats in some blue states; There are still people fighting for your rights! Don't give up!

Do you understand how scary it is to wake up and realize over half the people in your country voted for someone who wants you to die? How far gone is this goddamn country that we legitimately voted in a 34 time convicted felon with a fascist guide book WHO TRIED TO OVERTHROW THE GOVERNMENT instead of the capable adult. This is so depressing

I'm certain this is on Tumblr somewhere, but I haven't seen it around, so I'm sharing it myself

The only step we can take is the next one
