The entirety of last week was basically... one extension of Tuesday for me, so I believe I skipped a week in these journal installments. I think my instagram caption from last night is the best display of my current sentiments:
"Oof, I don’t think I’ve ever been sledgehammered by a week as much before this one. I am so elated by the outcome of the election—by no means is this country perfect, but now we’re finally able to take steps forward. I’m proud of us. I’m proud to be American, for the first time in four years. I’m feeling gleeful and reveling in this victory. And anyone who comes at me to feel empathy for 45 supporters will earn a swift block. I’m a QWOC. I don’t have the energy for that. I’m focused on doing the necessary work to save our democracy, starting with volunteering to help in Georgia runoff elections!" I'm dropping links here to Fair Fight (Stacy Abrams' voting rights organization): https://fairfight.com/join-our-fight/ Rev. Raphael Warnock's campaign (against Kelly Loeffler, the Senator who made a profit off of not-yet-public information on the pandemic back in March. She's a profiteer. We need her out.): warnockforgeorgia.com/ and Jon Ossoff's campaign (against David Perdue): https://electjon.com/. They need our help! If we can win these two races, Democrats will hold a Senate majority in addition to the House and Presidency. This way we'll be able to pass legislation on climate change, racial justice, healthcare, and so many more issues that impact the lives of Americans everywhere. Please join the fight! In bookish news, I've started the month of November with the Clear Your Sh*t Readathon, meant to get all those unread books off my shelf in the form of a choose your own adventure story. If you'd like to follow along with me and my quest, connect with me on Twitter, where I'm threading my progress.
