Hatred won.
That's it. That's all there is to it. Hatred won, and that's it.
This isn't over.
I stand with every single minority. I stand with LGBTQ+ people. I stand with the religious people who are already facing difficulty. I stand with disabled people. I stand with women. I stand with every race, gender, religion, sexuality. I stand with you.
I'm scared too, and it is justifiable fear. People are already dying because of this election result, and chances are it will get worse.
I want to make clear that this is a safe space. I use fiction to get away, to escape from the bullshit in this world, and I will continue to post about fiction that I'm enjoying. That's all I feel I can do, but it might be just enough for someone, just one person to say "Hey, that book seemed good, I think I'll read it, lose myself for a few hours" and it might help.
Things are shit, but with support we can make things just a little better. Reach out if you are scared. If someone comes to you, listen to them. People worldwide are now going to live in even more fear, so be kind to each other. Please.
If you need it get help. Please.
