@MindfulWilliam Do you want to know a secret to amazing hot dogs?

If you have access to an airfryer, don't boil them. Toast them.

@PsyPurplePirate Thank you, I hope the storm ends, sooner than later.

This can't last. America can't stand strong on the back of so many broken families and people.

@KazzyH
Family is very important to me, even in the middle of all this.

I need to make sure my sister and brother don't become like my parents.

I need them to see me and to hear me and hug me and know I'm still a real person in their lives and not just a voice on the phone or text on a screen.

The connection is so so important.

@WellWellWell3
Thank you for serving our country!

I have been traveling the world for a number of months.

Sometimes, it's lonely and I'm in places where I don't speak the language or know any people. Occasionally, I rely on the kindness of strangers to get by.

And yet, I have felt more at home, as a stranger, in every other country I've been to, than the America I was born in.

@Idissent I'm sorry you have to share this pain.

I hope there is an end to this hurricane of hate.

@duglop Thank you, it's happening to so many of us.

Families just being split apart because of what? Nothing!

@Targas_Taargas 😭 Thank you for that.

@princesscarolyn Fox News is such a wretched evil.

My friends saved me, I need to do the same for my family.

I don't know if I could ever cut ties with my parents, they would force the rest of the family that does talk to me to cut me out entirely.

I couldn't make a life without my sister in it.

@scotinus I'm hoping when/if my sister steps out of the bubble it'll give my parents something to think about.

But yes, it's just emotional outbursts with no soul to back it.

@MindfulWilliam It's so ugly, isn't it?

And I find it terrifying I was a part of it too, and didn't see it.

@scotinus And I know he truly doesn't mean a word of it, but it still hurts.

@Targas_Taargas Everyone on CoSo has been my substitute family today. It's been a hard day. ❤️

@AliceAllonym I have my own place there, and I will be spending most of my time with my sisters and slightly more open minded cousins.

I will be as safe as I can be.

I will go see my parents, but I am not going alone.

Hatred will not win.

Republicans have crushed my family and stolen their hearts.

I will win them back someday, but I will never forgive the GOP for what they did to my family.

My sister just called and tried to wish me a Happy Thanksgiving:

She tried to get my parents to talk to me.

My Dad was in the background yelling at her to hang up and "stop talking to the communist traitor" and yelling loudly "stay in Germany with the rest of the Nazi's if you hate being in America so much you dumb bxxxx".

This is the man who taught me to ride a bike, ride a horse, shoot a gun, drive a car, look after my siblings, and love myself. 😞

I go home in a few weeks.

I'm scared.
