Is everyone doing ok out there tonight?

This too shall pass. I know it sucks. But we will make it. Focus on yourself, focus on your small circle, take care of those things and it will be ok. The world's problems are too large for your shoulders alone. Go small, take care of that and things are gonna be ok.

You can't make everyone be a good human.

Other countries will become the scientific leaders of the world. Our best minds will move there for their work.

I mourn for all the science that will be stunted for the next four+ years here in the USA.

@Tee_Lynn @hallmarc @Astartiel I pointed this out on Twitter several years ago. The goal of the GOP is to permanently sideline Dems and render them powerless, enabling the setup of a dictatorship of some kind, likely with theocratic overtones, if not an outright theocracy.

@Astartiel I see you and raise you the horrifying prospect that it will be stunted for much longer. The end of the Trump (or Vance) administration may not even be the beginning of the end for Trumpism.

@Astartiel

I'm sorry, friend. You are not alone. You are seen and heard. 💜

I just woke up at 2:30am in a state of existential dread.

I CAN'T do four more years of waking in existential dread!

@Astartiel Balance. Focus on something productive. Take breaks with something you like. Don't stay immersed in darkness 24/7.

@Tee_Lynn Actually that's a good plan. We all need to go underground and regroup. Build up our strength again, be there for each other and lift each other up. Those who voted for this I'm hoping, will wake up once they're affected. @Astartiel

My Mood This Morning:

"Despite all my rage,
I am still just a rat in a cage..."

Sharing my stickers for today because I feel others could use these messages too.

@Keysalagain Or they could've heard everyone else screaming "TARIFFS ARE PAID BY THE CONSUMER IN THE END!", but no.
