it’s election day–go vote if you haven’t already
Numb as f like every day and every year. The whole US situation didn’t faze me, just like 911 didn’t. If they did you must have something I don’t.
Depressed since Epstein’s Orange friend won. It is a dark day for humanity. As I said in the 5th of november thread I am here to talk you do not need to suffer alone. <3
Absolutely horrible. Keeps getting worse. But hey some good news, at least I won’t be alive when the US of A finally fucking implodes on itself due to recent events. 🤬 Bigots and fascists; and this is what I served for, to ‘protect’?? Fuck ya’ll.
I’m curious if this is the last resemblance of democracy the United States will see.
I’m worried for the people stuck in red states, and worried this is going to spread outside America again like it did in 2016. I feel like I must live in a very different world compared to rural americans. I can’t imagine how a fascist authoritarian would be the logical choice ever.
Terrified I’ll never get to vote again. Terrified it’s all going to get worse. Terrified for my unborn child.
I am autistic and in my country I’ve been told before by my case worker that I qualify for MAID. This cruel world just isn’t meant for people like me, and I am now starting the application process for MAID.
What’s MAID?
I’m so sorry. I wish the world was kinder.
Sad, disappointed, and worried.
Absolutely fucking shit.
Sorry. I thought things would be different. Sorely disappointed is an understatement.
Same 💔
Lol
About to get a lot worse!
Good so far. My wife and are currently in Miami waiting for our connecting flight to Jamaica. We have been looking forward to this for months. Getting everything ready was stressful but we are very excited. This will be my first time leaving the US.
Did you arrive yet? How is it?
not great
but about to play some gameboy so that’s good
What games?
Mostly the 1st harry potter gba game, it’s jank but playable with savestates
Slept <5h each day since last Wednesday.
Fucking tired. Sleep hygiene rules don’t help.
Will probably try sleep meds today.
I hope you’re able to find a solution. Sleep deprivation makes everything so much harder.
I voted early. My partner voted today. Took 2 hours. We both have anxiety because of the 2016 result. All the polls were looking good, then we woke up in what felt like the wrong reality.
It’s all everyone is talking about. At work, in my apartment building. Even the sports bar down the block had election coverage on. It’s unavoidable and inescapable. I’m watching a movie to distract myself. Then I’ll turn on the news once the polls start to close.
I was an election judge in 2020. I’m kind of feeling guilty for not doing it this year. But I don’t have the capacity. I’ve been feeling straight up burnt out for most of the year with no end in sight. I’m actually thinking about calling the employer EAP.
I always celebrate all the wins in life , no matter how small. October and so far November have not had any of these. I really hope I wake up with good news.
Time to sleep, hopefully when I wake up the USA isn’t at civil war 🤞
Sigh ok :(
Sorry. I feel ashamed to be here.
Nothing to apologise for tbh, sane people did all they could
