Hope everyone is ready for next week. I know some things that have happened, don’t want to be a fear monger, so won’t say what, but we all need to be prepared. I’m leaving the country tomorrow under the cover of night, and plan to meet with an immigration lawyer in my destination to talk about getting asylum.

I am as anti-Trump as they come but this is irrational and borders on fearmongering. We’re going to have a lot of work to do to defend our rights for the next four years. But things aren’t going to change overnight so much that you need to leave the country “under the cover of night.”

The far right certainly wouldn’t allow the gov to pay for it - if insurance won’t. That’s de facto illegal. I think there are a strong arguments the right can make, to make this happen. I don’t think people realize the magnitude of what’s going on.

Wow, everyone is really coming for OP, as if they are really that far off the rails. They are not. It’s clear to me that we are on a dark road here in this country. I think most repliers are under the belief that this level of f@scism will not affect them in any major way. This is a very liberal mentality and why the election was lost to the right. It’s incredible to see before my eyes like this. Reminds me of pretty much any major tragedy in US or Western history. Straight people aren’t the only ones who allow these ideologies to take root. The gaslight is on

Almost midnight here and I'm cleaning my medicine cabinet so I can reboot having a regular skin-care routine. I'm listening to one of my favorite musicals, "Ragtime", specifically the song "He Wanted to Say". Living 9 time zones away from home out of the US and watching the BLM movement there, unable to do anything concrete about it from here - this song I've listened to countless times, today about brought me to tears.

I really don’t mean this to virtue signal - just wanted to share a moment.

Has anyone ever been in a mostly platonic relationship? I don’t like to label myself much, but I don’t really like intimacy and don’t really like romance. Some people would say I’m asexual/aromantic, but unless that too is a spectrum, I don’t think I fit squarely into that group. As I get older, I’m realizing I’m feeling very lonely. It would be nice to find someone, but have it be platonic (any gender/sex). It’s weird, I know. It’s hard to articulate as well. Can anyone relate? 😭😭

I wish the pride where everybody can connect in a more friendly way (outdoor game- team work, dance, drink something not too sexual.) there are some good parts of pride tho. Any opinions?
