Yeah, I think the really fatal thing was so many people just… staying home. :confused:

but they’re so comforting. insomuch as it’s something like that (which, i do not believe that it is -sigh-), or else a majority of my fellow country-folks are mean-spirited idiots. i can’t even blame the @#$! electoral college - trump won the #@!#$ popular vote! [expletives resound]

You are awakening to the
same country you fell asleep to.
The very same country.

Pull yourself together.

And,
when you see me,
do not ask me
“What do we do now?
How do we get through the next four years?”

Some of my Ancestors dealt with
at least 400 years of this
under worse conditions.

Continue to do the good work.
Continue to build bridges not walls.
Continue to lead with compassion.
Continue the demanding work
of liberation for all.
Continue to dismantle broken systems,
large and small.
Continue to set the best example
for the children.
Continue to be a vessel of nourishing joy.

Continue right where you are.
Right where you live into your days.

Do so in the name of
The Creator who expects
nothing less from each of us.

And if you are not “continuing”
ALL of the above,
in community, partnership, collaboration?
What is it you have been doing?
What is it you are waiting for?

Not yet. Only half of California has been counted, and the 54% that has leans to the rural side.

I am descending into nothing. I’m in no position to prove it one way or the other so I’m not subscribing to it. Merely mentioning that the possibility occurred to me.

We don’t got no lady of the lake to do cutlery repairs, though;

Strange women lying in ponds distributing swords is no basis for a system of government.

Then again, it might be better than what we’ve got.

I believe the term you are reaching for is “aquatic tarts,” IIRC.

“Watery tarts” was the first line. The second line talks about sword distribution. :wink:

No. The fatal thing was so many people just… voting for Donald Trump.

I’m now imagining Vance and Melanie, standing next to sleeping TFG’s bed, with pillows in their hands.

And what’s going to happen in his upcoming sentencing hearing? Last I remember, it’s delayed until November 26th.

But that just installs Vance, no? I think he could be even worse.
