היטלערן ווארפט עס אין היץ און קעלט און ער קאָן אונז קושן נאָר אין תּכת

I was woken shortly after noon by a spam call. It wanted to tell me there was a problem with the warranty of my nonexistent car. When I hung up on the spam, I saw that I had messages waiting from family and friends. They wanted to tell me Biden had won the election.

It does feel like the end of a war. Which means that what's ahead is the hard work of rebuilding—and building on, not merely settling for what we accepted once as the status quo. Too much of our government has still turned out to be three gentlemen's handshakes in a trenchcoat. Let's not do Reconstruction 2.0. Also we still have a plague.

But there is a new tree planted in the sidewalk out front of our apartment and I can think about a future that is not merely the endurance or resistance of destruction.

Just for the change, I think repairing things could be fun.

Threaded | Flat

Fuckin' amen.

Also:

(By either Kara Walker or Bria Goeller.)

I can think about a future that is not merely the endurance or resistance of destruction.

Amen. So be it.

And now we work to win the Senate seats in Georgia.

Palpable relief on this side of the Pond too.

Just for the change, I think repairing things could be fun.

Sing it loud!

*just breathes*

On a side note: Google Translate, I really don't think that "er kon aunz kushn nor in tkhs" translates to "he can just kiss us in secret". In fact, I am very sure "תּכת" is a word that has already crossed over from Yiddish to English, because I didn't need to buy a vowel.

I would have called but it was well before noon and I did not want to die at the moment of victory!!

*hugs*

Such a relief.

I've also been thinking a lot about U.S. Grant a lot today. I hope that Biden and Harris try as hard, and manage better.

I'm enjoying today. Seeing many many people I care for be encouraged is wonderful and I'm cheering every dance video!

Oh, such a relief. I only just started to think of all the terrible people in his administration who will also be tossed out.

I think repairing things can be not only fun but even joyous.

Such a relief. We are walking around like zombies in this house--there's nothing like realizing just how much stress you were under, even if you thought you were coping, until it begins to lift.
