I've only mentioned the election in passing, first because this blog is almost entirely a place for me to post reviews and second because just thinking about the final results makes me feel panicky, angry, and sick. I feel like the US failed a very basic decency test.
I've been trying to figure out what to do from here on out. I made room in my budget for a few monthly donations (the ACLU is one), and I'm working on my phone anxiety for phone calls to my reps. It feels like nothing I could possibly do would be enough, but I'm trying not to let that weigh me down to the point where I don't do anything. I wish I didn't feel like I was surrounded by potential landmines – I know that there are likely a lot of people in my daily life who don't share my horror and who maybe even think that our new president will do great things.
And that's basically it. I don't really know what else to say. The next post will be something Yuri on Ice related, because I'm clinging to that show like it's an emotional lifesaver.
Yay! Hubby and I have just watched the first few episodes of Yuri on Ice. I'm interested to know what you think!
ReplyDelete(As for the dark feelings -- I'm totally with you there. Of course it's different living overseas compared to where you live, but America affects the entire world. I don't know what to say either, but hang in there!)
Yeah, the "America affects the entire world" thing is something else I worry about. :(
DeleteDuh, sorry, just realized that you already posted. So, I'll just say yay again! (We're enjoying it, too.)
ReplyDeleteIt's such a good show. I'm glad that Funimation's been doing a dub for it, since that's a pretty clear indicator it's going to get a DVD release here. I really want to own it.
