It's ok here because I'm in a left leaning city, trans kid (my youngest) will be adult soon so can begin medical care whenever they can afford it; any daughters who are at all into men have IUDs, and in general everything has been ok, except for school but that kid is a little bit insulated because it's an art school and they DGAF about the state saying they can't use nicknames or preferred gender. So that is ok but the actual teaching in the academic classes has faltered, getting bad like when I went to school here, and it's so disappointing after it had gotten so good for awhile.
Thanksgiving may be fractious because we have trans, communists, right wing, right-leaning, about half progressive leftist, one sort of prickly vegan (not prickly about us being omnivore, just more delicate sensibilities), it's always very mixed and rowdy like that, tensions seem higher but OTOH my ex has become more reasonable.
Bracing for economic downturn, hopefully it lets some people get into houses, who cannot now. And hopefully can stay employed, pretty old so have made it through several recessions already.
Trying not to think too hard about it. I'm waiting for the idiots at work to try and bring anything up, but they've been uncharacteristically quiet. At least around me. I'm pretty sure I'm the token liberal to these nitwits.
It’s aight.
I knew which color my state went. It aint gonna change soon.
I was already planning on moving to Chicago next year, so...eh? I worry about our country for a lot of reasons, but none of them only apply to red state residents.
That being said, if I wasn't already moving I'd be getting the hell out of dodge. I don't have a uterus, but I know people who do, and I won't be party to the state suppression of their healthcare on religious grounds.
Disappointed. Trying to find meaningful ways to protect our migrants community here, so far it's just supporting the ACLU and trying, and so fucking reason it's hard to convince people another trail of tears would be bad.
We'll see if I go back to the mental hospital but I don't foresee it happening unless work gets really bad again.
I've already internalized that this country is populated by shitty, hateful people. Trump winning again just confirms what I already knew.
I don't live in the USA so I'm doing fine. I appreciate all the comments and feel so bad for each and every one of you.
Personally, I feel worse for the each and every one of the 7.7 billion people who didn't have a vote in this election but will now reap its consequences.
