It's really something to be three weeks away from what could very much be one of the most intense inflection points in my life — a moment which will decide whether i have any rights at all come the end of January — and be expected to function like a normal person.

And thousands of people have decided we're a worthy sacrificial lamb so they can throw a bitch fit and not vote

I've been awake at 4am more this past month than any point in the past 3 years. Vacillating between huge bursts of energy where i can't sit still to save my life to days where i have to put my head down on my desk after every meeting. I feel like a sweater being slowly unraveled by an anxious child.

I'm trying not to think about it, focus on my own life, transition, work... this is my first election knowing I'm trans, transitioning, and most of my coworkers are probably going to vote to take away my rights. And I'm ready to come out at work.

Biden took an oath to protect us from all enemies foreign and domestic and I trust he will stand guard. Trump has only the crazies and we will report them if they are a threat.

yeah i requested off the two days after the election months ago because i have no intention of being sober i really have had a hard time handling the stress

Me at work every day. I'm keeping up with two different timelines/life plans post election. I'm running two simulations all the time so I can be ready for either possibility.

All I know is that the fight against fascism continues either way (though obviously more dire with one outcome).

Same. I keep getting fucked up on how it doesn’t feel meaningful to make any normal life plans that stretch past this month.

I'm getting married four days after. How the wedding goes will be determined by results I think. Will either be a big party of relief, or an organizing session.
