I am genuinely so sorry. I am devastated and disappointed with the outcome of the election.

Please do not do anything serious. Take time today to look after yourself. Get wrapped up, make some tea or hot chocolate, turn off your phone and relax. Do something you enjoy. It'll be okay. This has happened before, and you survived it. Just like you will survive again.

Everyone will keep fighting for you, no matter how hard it is. There are people within the US and all across the world who are fighting for you. There are people with large platforms and important decisions rooting for you. It'll be okay. Breathe.

Things will take time to change, which will give you time to prepare for them. You cannot be erased.

i’m gonna need you to take care of yourself right now and most importantly, stay alive, okay?

don’t give him the satisfaction of dying. that’s what he wants, so if nothing else, stay alive out of spite

take a deep breath

watch your favorite childhood cartoon

wear your comfiest clothes

listen to your favorite music

we WILL get through this

i love you all. stay strong ♥️

Please don’t hurt yourselves or worse over this.

Please

Resist!

And more importantly:

I know it seems rough right now, and I know it seems like things won't get better, but don't do it

This is the last time that runaway Home Depot sign can run, after his four years (Or hopefully less) are done, he can't run again

And if you kill yourself, then who's gonna stop Republicans from getting another victory when the next election happens?

For the love of God, live, please just live

Suicide is a permanent solution to a problem that doesn't last long, so please don't do it

But please remember it is not the end of the world. Focus on yourself in the moment. Do not give into fear mongering, which is a VERY COMMON thing politics use and panic doesn’t help. Politicians lie about a lot of stuff that does not always come to pass.

It doesn’t matter who or what you are, you are still human. If you live in the US please be aware that there also other systems in place designed to protect your rights that will take a while for people to remove if and also you do have the right to stand up and make your voice heard. You have the constitution (amendments) and other laws in place for that reason THAT CANNOT BE CHANGED THAT EASILY.

If you need to, do remember you can block tags, accounts, etc. Take a break from the internet and social media for a while if you need to and spend time with your loved ones, friends, pets, etc. Knit, play some offline titles, etc

Just DONT GIVE INTO FEAR! YOU ARE STRONGER THAN YOU LOOK!

Your life has meaning and please if you need to I will be posting a link to some crisis hotlines (US only)

Just relax and take it easy for me, mkay?

Hey.

Breathe.

Put down that gun. Close the medicine bottle. Untie that rope. Drop that blade. Please.

I want you to ignore the red right now. I want you to click on the breakdown of the votes. I know it says he won, but I want you to ignore that right now.

Look at all the people who voted blue.

Look at all the people who stood up for you. Look at the majority of people who tried to pass the abortion amendment in Florida. Look at all the people who voted for equal rights in New York. Look at how close some of these percentage are.

Even if your state is red, there are people who have your back. There are people who will whisper "fuck state rights" as they fund your abortion in another state. There are people who will ignore that your birth certificate says M and call you Ma'am. There are so many people who wanted to help. There are MILLIONS of people who tried to help.

You are not alone. We are here for you. And we're going to carry each other for the next four years when we try again.

Because the moths themselves don’t eat and only live long enough to mate and then starve to death, the entire culture is made up of children and adolescents. The older children raise the younger ones, with families being made up of hatchmates from different years.

Because molts and eventual transformation into a short lived adult happen on a set schedule, families have a cycle— when your oldest set of siblings cocoon to become adults, you wait at the mating grounds and try to adopt their newborns after they pass. If that fails, you take any ‘orphans’ you can find.

Because death and birth are nearly simultaneous, they have a religion based around reincarnation, and infants with markings similar to a parent are often given their name. Claiming the offspring of a beloved family member is vitally important, because you want to be able to protect their soul and keep them close.

Because it’s hard to track the offspring of your male family members, there are sometimes major fights when a family sees an infant with familiar markings in another family’s clutch.
