In other news, I know they made my arcade stick to look like an NES Advantage, but it's a great scheme. Every time I look at it I want to press those big red buttons.

Hey, all.

A few weeks ago, I mentioned there was a chance I would be selling off my topys and video game systems, along with a plea for donations so I didn't have to.

Thank you: I didn't have to.

Y'all bought me an extra week, and in that week, my freelance job paid me. That said, I didn't forget who asked for what - and if the issue comes up again (and it might), I'll contact those who asked for stuff.

Thanks again. This is a lifetime of stuff. I'd hate losing it.

Thoughts Before Bed

Gonna be a long four years. Gonna grab some sleep, and start work on Year 1.

Vagueposting Before Bed

"Well, that's fine. That's fine, Tremas. I mean, when this thing has taken over the entire planet you'll have the consolation of knowing that you kept your honour intact."

Okay. Shitposting about the Republican win over. Let's have some real talk.

That fear and anger you're feeling right now? You're not wrong. This is an angering time. And a scary time. But that fear and anger? That's energy. That power. That fight or flee feeling from millions of years evolution is there for a reason. It's saying do something or get out of Dodge."

I encourage you to USE that energy to do something. Don't let it pass. Be angry. Stay angry. AND GET INVOLVED. Start with your community. Use that anger to join a local non-profit that will make things better. Get involved with your local government, in any way you can. The way out of this starts in your neighborhood. Make your change in any way you can.

Think you can't do it? I didn't think I could. I had no money, and no job. And I did it. And the change we made was good.

But there's also flee. And that's also understandable. Sometimes you've got to leave an untenable situation. Get started. Get your passports renewed. I'd highly suggest you do that NOW, so it's porcessed before January 20th. Talk with your friends and family in safer states. See who can take you in, where you can get or create a safety net. Research the resources where you think you'd be safe. They can help.

If you're scared, if you're angry, you have every right to be. Use that energy while you have it. Make the world around you better. Get to a better world if you can.

If we stick together, we can make it through the next four years on a local level. And if not, we can find a place to survive. Because we must survive. And we must make this a better place.

Good luck. I have faith in you.

::tira una chancla::

How do I still have four hours left in my day? After all this? I should use my time productively:

The CBS News anchors (and particularly Nora O'Donnell) have been visibly irritated all night at the sight of Trump coming back, and now it's a vigil.

And I feel that. Totally feel that.

Current Mood:

1787:
Elizabeth Willing Powel: "Well, Doctor, what have we got, a republic or a monarchy?"
Benjamin Franklin: "A republic, if you can keep it."

2024:
Waiter: "Anything on the menu you'd like to order?"
The Electorate: "I'd like fascism please. Well done. Topped with ketchup."

I gotta ask all the folks that voted for That Guy, like, after everything we learned about him: "What was it about him that appealed to you?"

...and we lost the Senate.

"OMG, it must be so so so late right now."
::looks at clock::
"It's only 10PM? It feels like it's been 84 years...."

Well. Here we go.

::sits down to watch the news::

And with 0% of the polls reporting, the Cartoon/Fantasy Organization has forecast the winner of the Presidency as Hatsune Miku!

(Apologies to the original poster on Threads whose name I forgot to write down)

Thoughts Before Bed:

"Good night. And good luck."
