A lot of us have watched the election and it's been very emotional. I wanted to provide a safe, civil, kind space for any of you to talk about your feelings or reactions with other LGC members. ❤

What helped me is being trained in real politics: Helping each other improve our lives.
For example, I think you ( @Eilis ) are very political: building a place to bond, share problems, have a good time... Lays the groundwork for discussing problems & finding imaginative solutions.
Whereas hoping some smart people solve all our problems... that's a different politics. Relatively ineffective & I think boring.
I never thought of it that way - that's so cool, thanks!
just watched this with a guy I'm seeing. We're terrified
It's been frightening.
I'm not even american and this is setting off my anxiety so bad
I couldn't sleep, I'm terrified for my family and my friends, and I don't know what the future holds. Now I'm sitting on an aircraft about to fly for work and all I want to do is cry and hide. Trump supporters seem to have no capacity to see the similarities between Trump and the Nazi party. So, I'm learning to just be silent and go back into the closet.
I just discovered imzy literally 10 minutes ago. Saw it being talked about on a subreddit I frequent, seriously considering unironically deleting my reddit account even. Don't even think I can handle it. As a trans woman living in a crappy midwestern state I am terrified. I had already accepted not being able to transition and present myself to the world as a woman until I made my way to a better area or a massive shift in public opinion happened and I just feel worse about it now. I feel the need to cut off all my hair and try to blend, stop taking my hormones. That or just hide. I already barely leave my apartment. Does anyone know any good ways to make ~15k a year without leaving my apartment? I could live off that. It is just terrifying knowing roughly half the US (hell almost 80% of my state even) support through their choice such sexism and racism and just HATE.
I have a philosophy degree and think about society a lot, and this can not and will not turn out well. The world should be working towards being more inclusive, welcoming and "easy." If there's one thing all humans have in common is no one "asked" to be born. Life should try to accommodate those that just struggle with existence. Not force them to trade their time and effort just for the means to survive. Community is the most important part of this forward movement, and even an important part of just being happy. I feel all these dreams and hopes I had for the world, that I would get to see in my lifetime just got shot dead. I've been just laying in bed crying for awhile and needed to vent my frustrations at something. I want to call in sick to work but know I can't afford it and know my boss will just think I'm being "mopey." What can I even do now? What should I do now? I was already lethargic and can't muster the energy to do anything but lie here, but I can't sleep.
Thanks for listening, Is this the end?
