Really shouldn’t have to spend my night talking the kids I work with through their fear that their lives could become illegal in the next year, and discussing the what-if’s of their existence being threatened.

Like, if a party winning an election leaves a teenager spiraling repeating “I don’t want to die. I don’t want to die.” this is so far beyond normal and okay. If I ever inspired such thoughts in a kid, I would quit everything I’m doing and go hand myself over to a convent or something to atone, because what the holy fuck? I will never forgive a member of the Republican Party for doing this - I will pour a cold glass of water or milkshake on any shitfuck I ever encounter that was part of this.

Anywho, here’s hoping that tomorrow night doesn’t leave the queer kids in panic and despair like tonight did. Blargh!
