Obligatory Political Post

[caitri]

Neil deGrasse Tyson: "This is the end of nothing. This is the beginning of something new and solemn and so important. You must be part of what comes next."

This.

I told myself I was going to do any number of things to avoid thinking about politics tonight, and then I did a number of things while obsessively checking 538 and the NYT and feeling increasingly nauseous.

And because I am me, I thought about Buffy the Vampire Slayer: "The hardest thing to do in this world is to live in it."

This statement has often felt true to me, and feels true to me tonight. But live in it we must, and change it we must, and fight for the world that needs to be.

Thank you. I needed this. I'll try and hold those quotes in my head for the next four unimaginable years.

Ugh, just ugh.
