checking in

I couldn't sleep last night, but this morning, as President Obama said, the sun rose again. My heart is heavy, but if there was ever a moment for generosity: this is it.

Open thread day: how are you all doing? I'm listening. ♥

I'm mostly stunned at this point, I think I am a bit immune from terrifiedness from being over here (but then I find Trump as a leader definitely someone who could impact my safety over here, so!). But it'll happen, I'm sure.

I feel really powerless -- not just in terms of affecting things at home, but even over here (11 European elections next year! 11 waves of populism to fight, & how can I help the ppl fighting that good fight when I'm not French/Austrian/etc.?).

*hugs* Yeah, I either went through multiple emotional adjustment stages lightning-fast or immediately buried most of my feelings under what needs to be done. Can't quite tell yet. Being outside the country is making me feel incredibly impotent, which is demoralizing, so I'm trying to figure out what I can do beyond signal-boosting and checking in with people.
