So this past Saturday I went on “The Great Los Angeles Walk”, an annual event that has folks meet up the Saturday before Thanksgiving for an epic walk around Los Angeles. This year (19th one!) was from USC to UCLA. Approx. 14.2 miles. We saw amazing buildings, murals, restaurants, etc. It was quite a day, but my legs, hips and butt are killing me!! I’ve never walked that far in my life. I’m glad I had the forethought to park at UCLA and get an Uber to the start of the walk! I was in no condition to get public transport or fight for an Uber/Lyft when we were done, lol!

Next year is going to start at One Wilshire all the way to the beach, which is longer than this year’s walk.

 I better start training soon!

Just a note- Bluesky is such a friendly place! I’ve been off the other one for pretty much 13 years, so it’s nice to scroll through positive, productive, informational (not just political) posts. I have a feeling I’ll need that a lot in the next 4 years.

I don’t post, but it’s nice to scroll. 

Okay, I waited a couple of days after the election to post. I thought by now I wouldn’t in a state of disgust, sorrow, fear or anger. Turns out I’m still knee deep in all of those feelings and more.

We’re going to have a convicted felon, sexual abuser, racist, classist, misogynistic, sociopath take the highest office we have. I’m so proud.  Actually, I feel sick. Anyone want to start a suffragette group with me? I’m sure women’s right to vote is going to be on the chopping block soon. 

Just an aside to everyone who voted for him- he hates you and thinks you’re stupid. HE ADMITTED IT!! And if you did it for the economy and consumer prices, you should have done your homework because he won’t do shit for you but make it worse. 

He’ll be even more of an abomination this time. No accountability. He’ll get away with anything he wants, he always does because you let him. He laughs at you. All of you. 

I feel hopeless. All the innocent people who will be attacked by their administration will be unprecedented. Not to mention street level attacks by racist assholes.

Just remember, once he’s back in office, this is YOUR fault. Anything that happens. YOU did this. And you can fuck off if you say you didn’t know, because you did. Your greedy, selfish, racist self knew, you just didn’t care. 

Awe man, I need to stop. Believe it or not, I edited out a lot of this post.

I’m glad I’m not on social media, I’m sure I’d feel worse if I was.
