<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> :-) I haven’t figured anything out beyond getting dressed today.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> </p><p>I just wrote about this. </p><p><a href="http://scripting.com/2024/11/06.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no"><span class="invisible">http://</span><span class="">scripting.com/2024/11/06.html</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>See the last entry, but the whole page is for you. We have work to do.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@schwa" class="u-url mention">@<span>schwa</span></a></span> absolutely it is! I don’t want to be for my own well-being, but not out of any bullshit notion that we should have to hide what we feel or what happened. I fully support anyone who wants to be mad as long as they want.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@marioguzman" class="u-url mention">@<span>marioguzman</span></a></span> absolutely not. Fuck this stiff upper-lip bullshit. They won. They won decisively. Us hiding our despair doesn’t change that. I’ll be as mad and disappointed and heartbroken as I want to be and everyone else should be too. Fuck optics. Let people feel what the fuck they want to feel. It’s not like optics helped us avoid this mess. They already won. I’ll be goddamned if my response is going to be “let me just not let them know this hurt me.”</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@film_girl" class="u-url mention">@<span>film_girl</span></a></span> being mad forever is totally an option though.</p>

<p>Once again: we’re allowed to be fucking heartbroken and angry. I’m not saying that we can be mad forever. I’m saying we’re allowed to be angry and sad today. All this “now it’s time to work” bullshit is just that. Bushit. People are allowed to feel what they feel. And be fucking honest: the work wasn’t enough this time. At all. At all.</p>

<p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@gamingonlinux" class="u-url mention">@<span>gamingonlinux</span></a></span> exciting, got a pre-order in!</p>

<p>And on that note, while we’re allowed to mourn, we need to be strong so we can have others lean on us. While I am trying to keep my shit together today, feel free to lean on me and offer the same to someone else.</p><p>Because this is what they want. They want us to despair. But they can’t have it; they won’t get it.</p><p>Don’t post how our country has gone to shit over night. It hasn’t. Saying that means you’ve given up on us, yourself, and the world.</p>

<p>I think… the last thing we need is inflammatory posts from our own that are meant to scare us or make us feel like we’re being castigated bc our country chose him.</p><p>A lot of us are hurting right now and we don’t need your little hot takes while we are trying to pick up the shattered pieces of our broken hearts.</p><p>On the bright side, the sun rose again today. You still have your family, friends, and pets.</p><p>Send them words of encouragement and love instead because at least we still have each other.</p>
