Hi, friends. I'm starting to migrate away from this site. I'm trying bsky and threads, also always on IG and FB (rachelslacey everywhere). I doubt I'll delete this account, but I prob won't be posting much here anymore.
I haven't been paying enough attention to project 2925. How many rights have we actually lost? Do I still have a job? To everyone who's affected my this, just....hugs. I can't stop crying.
We call him our therapy cat because if anyone in the family is feeling anxious, he cuddles right in to offer support. He's currently in my lap, pressed in close and purring up a storm. I hope you all have a Luke today. Take care of yourselves, friends. 💗
@barbarawinkes I had held off on threads bc I heard it will tie together accounts, so I'm still not sure it could work for me unless I give up my personal FB, bc I don't want that linked to my author stuff blerg. But I agree...hate it here.
Kamala Harris didn't lose, America did.
As a nation, we collectively failed her—and in doing so we failed girls and women, the LGBTQ community, people of color, Muslims, Jewish people, immigrants, the sick, the poor, the elderly, the people of Ukraine, and Gaza, and the planet.
It's unthinkable, that instead of being able to celebrate a beautiful, hopeful new chapter in the story of this nation with a leader who appealed to the best of our natures—we will instead be holding a postmortem for democracy as we enter our 250th year, stewarded by a malevolent sociopath who despises empathy and shuns the law.
I truly thought we were better than this, that our shared humanity would show up. I thought we would reject this hatred and ugliness once and for all.
I hate being wrong about the majority of the people of this nation.
I don't know what's ahead. All I know is that good-hearted human beings are more necessary now than ever.
We did all that we could to avoid this moment, but now that it's here we'll just have to decide who we will be.
There is no way to comprehend or measure how grievous an error this is, but the only thing the decent people of this nation can do is wake up tomorrow and fight like hell for what we still believe is worth the fight, and we will.
I'll be doing that with whoever has the strength to join me.
I'm mourning the country we could have been and the one we apparently are—but I refuse to give up believing that compassion is the right path, that diversity makes us better, and that love is greater than fear.
My son will be up in a few minutes, and I'll have to break this news to him for the second fucking time. But this time he's a lot older, and it's all so much harder.
Thank you, North Carolina! I am honored to serve as your next governor. Tonight, we came together to resoundingly embrace a vision that is optimistic, forward-looking, and welcoming. I couldn't have done this without each of you.
