Normally, I'm an emotional eater. Food makes me feel good and pushes away all kinds of anxiety, depression, and more.

But last night and today, I have no appetite. The thought of food makes me feel ill.

It certainly won't hurt me to eat very little for a couple of days, and it's kind of fascinating. But it's like my body feels this deeply, in a different way than my usual personal struggles.

Dallas County results (not fully counted, but I don't expect major changes):
57% of registered voters voted.
Trump got 38%
Harris got 60%

Being a blue dot in a red state was like being in an oasis. Not fully safe, but a bit protected. Now, though, I'm sure Abbot and Trump will make it treacherous to be in places like this. They'll make it harder for municipalities to provide more protections than the state.

Also, this state has a lot of people, most of whom (more than 2/3) live in small towns.

Hm.
Seeing a bunch of disconnected conversations.
Not sure if I'm suddenly muted by a bunch of people (whose timelines I can read when I click on them), if folks are deleting posts, or if things aren't linking up correctly.

Olurinatti is an immigrant and a human rights lawyer. Her perspective is valuable and she's sharp.

Donald Trump Won & America Will Regret It

A lot of idiots seem to actually believe Trump is better on the economy and will end wars.

I'm not surprised.
For a time, I had hope for a different outcome but knew it was a moonshot.

I'm sad. I'm hurt. I'm frustrated.

But not surprised.

There are already friends of mine posting sentiments like, don't let is be divided by politics.

And if it were just a matter of opinions, then I'd agree. But giving power to fascists is not something I'll forgive.
