I've been in this place before. The morning after an election, incredulous that so many would vote differently to the way I voted. I know the drill. I need to look after myself in my disappointment, get in close with others who too are wounded. I need to channel my anger and fear in productive ways rather than lash out at those who have a different vision to that of my own. I don't like their vision. I think it will have consequences especially for those already marginalised. If I'm scared about my future, how much worse must it feel today for those scapegoated? I had a brief check at 2am and posted an I love immigrants photo. I'm going to change it to my profile picture now. There's going to be a big need for lots of loving today and going forward . But we can do it.
It's been a busy day. Lots of pulls to divide, but I don't think that will get us anywhere.
