Today we mourn. Tomorrow we fight.

Today, I am disgusted at the short-sighted, racist, sexist pile of shit that is over half this country. I am staring in disbelief at segments of the population who the incoming kankerlijer* openly hates, who nonetheless voted for him. This is how Hitler came to and clung to power, you idiots.

Tomorrow, I'll fight. You'll find me volunteering with Open Doors For Refugees, at the very least, and I've told relatives, straight out, that if there are attempts made at mass deportation in my city, I'll be one of those forming a human barrier to enforcement, so they may have to come bail me out. Not on my watch, buddy. I'm also getting involved with some sort of trans-inclusive, trans and enby positive queer activism locally. It's about time I did, and I am making damn sure whoever I link up with are trans and enby positive, celebratory, before I join. No more of this MOGAI spaces tacitly becoming LG spaces stuff. None.

I will leave my reproductive possibilities, my own potential connections to IVF, quiet for now, but they do exist.

... ¿Mis hermanos, mi familia, por que¿ :( :( :(

Today I cry. Tomorrow, I fight.

Checking in, and please do ping in, on all my circlefolken. Is everyone safe, as in not in immediate genuine need of a physical or mental crisis call? We're all in horrified shock, yes, but I want to make sure no one is in immediate danger.

*Thanks for the word, camwyn. It fits the incoming guy horribly well, in both actions and message, and yes, I know it's a nasty Dutch swear word.

'And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?'

I'm scared stiff for the people I know over there who are like me. :o(

*hugs* So am I. I'll be fighting for trans rights all the way along.

And it's Flemish I know a litte of which is close to Dutch so I'll simply say "Dikkenek". The man is an out and out "zot".

If that means what I think it does, I'm in agreement. He's an utter, malignant, minuscule wart.

I'm ok. I'm afraid for so many people. On the plus side, I'm in one of the few remaining bastions for sanity left in the country (the northeast appears to have collectively said 'nope!').

I am also really suspicious of the fact that he supposedly won the popular vote, not just the electoral college. Smacks of someone with their hand on the scale to me. Not that anything will happen about it, since last time nothing did.

Glad you're as okay as one can be. I think half this country's got a case of the stupid crossed with the wanna-be-dominant-forever desperation, making them especially vulnerable to orange evil.

I got the stupid election and a really dangerous wildfire.

Oh jeez. :( Please stay safe, you and yours!
