I don't think I'll ever forget today. I won't forget reading the conversation of two of my best friends in group chat talking about how scared they are. One is a gay Filipino man and the other an Indian woman who's a feminist. I won't forget how I asked my other friend if she was going out today and she said no. She's also Indian, a Hindu woman. I won't forget the despair and fears that my girlfriend told me today and how I saw her getting harassed by a Trump supporter from her old high school on Facebook. She's a Chinese trans woman. I won't forget the countless amount of people I've seen both in real life and on social media talking about their own fears, whether they're Black, LGBT+, Muslims, Latinos, women, etc. 

Sure, there are positive posts I see where Donald might not be able to pass the laws that he'd want to because of how our system works. But we can't forget how today and last night made us feel. We can't let ourselves take an election for granted like this again and we can't let ourselves underestimate the racism, sexism, homophobia, and Islamophobia that still exists in our society. We can’t be apathetic to the future of our country. We need to step up.

i felt like ass today

today didn’t sit well in my stomach. or anywhere really. these past few days have felt like that. and half of it’s the mole and the other half’s loneliness. but today was a little different, a little sadder. i felt it trapped in my chest. in my hands. i didn’t have anyone to keep them from shaking… i just gripped the steering wheel tight and drove home.

“I am woman. I am gay. I have experienced being sexually assaulted. Today I collapsed on the floor of my office at work in the worst panic attack I have had in a while. Tonight, I started having another panic attack and somehow found myself curled up on the floor of my closet so no one would hear me. I fell asleep on the floor after calming down and woke up to my therapist calling me back because I had called her in the midst of my panic and she then spent 20 minutes lending compassion and and kindness and resources to a hurting, terrified individual despite the fact that she was hurting too. After hanging up the phone, I stayed on the floor of my closet, in the dark, until I found the energy to stand up and when I reached to open the door, I realized I had unconsciously locked it. Only then did I realize how fucking symbolic it was that I unconsciously chose to retreat to my dark, locked, closet for safety. I can’t believe this is happening.”
