Well, Then

[amarie24]

I am...desolate.

Quite simply desolate.

I've seen posts on my Tumblr dash and elsewhere asserting that this is not the end, we can and should hang in there, we'll keep fighting, we'll protect each other, we'll stay strong.

This is not the end.

We'll keep fighting.

But, it's just...y'know...I kinda, really, truly hoped that we wouldn't have to fight. That maybe just a little, teeny bit of that would be over.

Kinda hoped for some good news tonight. Some very, very, very good news.

'Cause, y'know, good news is good.

Well, then. See if my black woman is ass going to have the spoons to attend school tomorrow with the white fools that are my classmates.

Just see.

I'd love to give 'em hell, but...I dunno, I kinda just feel like they gave me and a whole lotta my fellow marginalized people hell on a silver platter.

And I also dunno about the magnitude of this sinking in. Like...so, so many people either outright voted for Trump or they voted third party and while the mainstream media is shit, there were several other news outlets that made sure people knew what was at stake in throwing away their vote like that.

They still didn't get it.

I'm just...I dunno anymore.

Yeah. We'll get through it. Angry Book Dragon is not amused at this. And now gets to go to the unenviable team of providing accurate information to all their users.

Maybe we can set it up so that I'm carrying a megaphone that you can shout through and it sounds like me.

Nyahahaha! Okay, that made me laugh! Thank you very, very much, Silver! I needed that! :D
