@andyblack for years, my wife has had the misfortune of suffering bad luck on her birthday. As she has requested none of her friends acknowledge her birthday today, I think it would mean the world to her, if you showed her today was not meant to be bad, and say happy birthday
I don’t have the words, but know I feel deeply for those impacted the most by the recent news!
I wish I could tell you everything will be okay, but what I can do is continue to work to create & give you a space to feel seen & safe!
Keep breathing
Keep being
Always proud of my state. Kamala didn’t win in my county (breaks my heart but I’m also not surprised since Trump support is strong here), but I’m still proud that I did my civic duty and voted blue. 💙
If you voted for Trump, you endorsed a COMFIRMED racist, rapist, and pedopjile. A man CONVICTED OF 34 FELONIES. a man who endorsed and encouraged an insurrection on the capital. If you support this man you are unhinged. I cannot comprehend how this is happening
I'm a white woman who has been sterilized, has no debt beyond my mortgage, am in a 10+yr relationship, have a high paying career at a company that literally makes money off of the privatization of healthcare, and at least my annual salary in savings and stocks. I know I will personally survive, even if (when) trump's policies fuck up the economy. That's not my concern.
I am concerned for everyone else that does not have my same privileges. I am worried for my trans friends, my survival SW friends, my non-white friends, my friends who are barely making ends meet, my friends that are already struggling to survive, my friends that can't access healthcare because they can't afford it, my elementary school children that may never make it back home one day, my daughter (who's "dream job" is to be a mom btw) that may one day face life threatening complications during pregnancy and die from lack of care.
And I'm angry, because we could have ALL thrived! We could have had nice things! We could have a healthy, educated population and social support like other countries! We could literally all be living our best lives!!
But instead, the 99% are all going to suffer, some drastically more than others, because of dumb fuck uneducated racist dipshits that would rather stay broke and struggling than risk seeing minorities get anything positive. Literally the definition of cutting your nose to spite your face. I'm going to bask in your suffering when it happens, so please make sure you're loud about it
Fuck Trump. Fuck Joe Rogan. Fuck Dana White. Fuck Elon Musk. Fuck anyone and everyone who supported that disgusting rapist and racist.
I am done being polite about having human rights being taken away. I am heartbroken and disappointed.
@daniigrimm @skarskar2003 Monitoring comes from a place of fear, whatever the reason. The foundation of trust in a relationship allows privacy that we all have a right to. If communication and understanding cannot change a person's mind, there is a deeper rooted issue that fear is coming from.
