So not a great day to be British ... :( I assume there are people out there somewhere who are happy about today’s election result, as some no doubt voted for this Tesco Value version of “MAGA”, but I certainly have yet to meet any of them. At any rate, for those of us who are trans, gay or bi, disabled, dependent on the NHS, of foreign background, or have friends and loved ones (such as a husband) of foreign background, the news could hardly have been grimmer.
Still, I shan’t ask for thoughts and prayers, that phrase being tired and all-too-tainted, and I know many across the world are suffering their own versions of this. I guess I just needed to vent and feel a little solidarity. This will definitely be a December of self-care, but possibly a very activist 2020 when I am feeling up to it. Times like this remind me I have few "normal" friends, and it's vital that we weirdos stick together.
