9/11: USA is shocked.
11/9: The world is shocked.

That's a message one of Mom's friends in Thailand sent her. She laughed hysterically.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

I don’t know when I’ll return to regular tweets. Maybe when I feel like I’ve done smthing more productive than seeing things get f#@!ed up.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

As well to Cibulkova for continuing to kick ass at precisely the times when I’m focused on tennis and hence not jinxing her.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

Since I *do* mainly focus on tennis on here, I will give a shout-out to Andy Murray for having a wonderful season and new No. 1 crown.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

...whenever I look at the current political state/climate not just here, but in so many other countries too.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

Hopelessness that at the end of the day, all I can do is to bury myself in work, school, and games to avoid soul-crushing depression...

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

Hopelessness that both my home country and my parents’ (Thailand) that I genuinely love are set to have new rulers who are awful people.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

Hopelessness that my vote didn’t matter. Hopelessness at the knowledge that even more tweets urging HRC votes wouldn’t've changed anything.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

Thing is, my main emotional reaction to this election result isn’t anger. It’s hopelessness.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

My parents and I all voted for Hillary, but I knew from the start that our votes would amount to nothing b/c we live in Texas.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

I hoped that my first series of tweets in quite a while would be optimistic, relieved ones.

I really, truly hoped.

😰

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

I’ve actually been back in the US for a while now, but was staying off social media due to election arguments getting...heated.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

@breakpointsaved Thank you!

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

If things go right, though, I should be back home after a lot of family catching-up and photos in time for the Wuhan F. See y'all then! 🙂 ✈️

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

...I really am anxious and excited about this trip, you guys. I've been to Thailand several times before, but normally not for *this* long.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

So if you wonder where I've gone off to for the next 3 wks, just imagine me in an old house in Bangkok, trying not to get mosquito-bitten. 😁

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

This means getting to see my grandma and other relatives again for the 1st in a long time, but also that I won't have *any* access to wi-fi.

[Kate Kitsumritphol @KateSomeWrit]

Okay, tweeps, this isn't tennis-related, but starting tomorrow I'll be away on a family trip to Thailand for the next 3 weeks.
