i don't talk about politics here much at all, and there's a reason for that.
but as a queer woman, my heart has been very heavy the last few days.
it's really hard to see people gloating and supporting the election of a man who has made it clear my rights - and the rights of many others - do not matter. my community does not matter. my gender does not matter.
yes, inflation fucking sucks. yes, foreign policy, education, student debt, workers rights, tech privacy, etc etc is all very important.
but what is society without mutual respect and understanding for your neighbour at home? how can we come together as a country if we can't even agree on the fact that every person in the US is a human being who deserves basic rights, freedoms, and equal opportunity?
for some reason we can't agree on that, because for some reason we've been made to believe that certain people having their own rights infringes upon our own rights, and that makes me deeply, deeply sad. 7 replies
