Well

This isn’t quite the end but I’m going to bed because this is too painful to watch. I’ve been an increasingly nervous wreck for weeks and everyone assured me “it will be fine.” But I knew it wouldn’t be easy. I just didn’t know it would be this much of a disaster.

There’s a lot of sadness and anger and disbelief coursing through social media right now. At least my social media. I know very well that I predominantly follow liberal friends, journalists, and news outlets. But I knew that no matter how “blue” my bubble it wasn’t reflective of the majority of America. 

I just really hoped that people would show up. And they didn’t.

Thousands of articles and papers will be written about why this happened (misogyny, the FBI, racism, Gary Johnson, misogyny, racism, rinse, repeat) in the days, weeks, and months to come.

Right now I’m crying thinking about the concession speech Hillary may have to give. And about the people who are truly afraid for their safety and security in this country. 

That’s all I’ve got for tonight. Get some sleep, friends. Tomorrow we have work to do.
