For a site that used to bring me community and joy, it’s now become detrimental to my mental health and makes me question the humanity of my fellow Americans.  If you want to stay in touch, I’m active on: 🧵 / IG @KrystinaRiversWrites  🦋 @KRiversWrites.bsky.social

Donald Trump has won the 2024 election. Four years after launching an unprecedented attack on democracy and leaving the White House in disgrace, the convicted felon will return to Washington, DC, as the 47th president of the United States. 🔗: vanityfair.visitlink.me/xOOxGE

BOOM: Billionaire Governor JB Pritzker warns Donald Trump, “You come for my people, you come through me.” The governor of Illinois is the latest Democrat to line up in defense of the potential harm of a Trump Administration. 💪💙

Chaos, retribution, and disarray radiated from the White House the last time Trump occupied it. This time may be different. But if it isn’t, Illinois remains a place of stability and competent governance. No matter the storm we face, you'll be welcome, safe, and protected here.

Sock mood today… To be clear, I don’t really mean everyone…only ~51% of everyone 😔

My dedicated wine glass for the next 4 years… While we plot and prepare and minimize the damage that can be done to us and make sure this never f-ing happens again.

@zgrokit We’re trying… I think there’s a reason for optimism. I’m terrified af but also optimistic. But Here’s hoping I have enough wine in the house to get me thru the next 24-48+hours though…

@MelissaTereze @morganleemiller @kristen_zimmer I’m a little late but can I get in on this too? I’ve been stress eating for the last 24 hours, and it’s unlikely to stop for at least another 48…

@morganleemiller @kristen_zimmer Sure! Just figuring out what I need then I’ll be in the kitchen if anyone needs me ✌🏽 😂

#GreatLakes agreement. #VoteBlue for us and the planet 🌊🌊

Just us. Eating and drinking our way through the stress of this week…

@katenauthor Sending the babies all the loves ❤️

#DoggleADay went to the doctor today for an update on her chest tumor. Diagnosed as slow growing, monitor every 2-3 months. #MayaBean went with Jill for her own bloodwork. #Geriatric #OldPets

@DaleAllen76 I’m stress eating my feelings but I’m hopeful 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

@KRiversWrites Let’s hope your country goes 💙. We are definitely paying attention up here🇨🇦

Wearing these socks today to remind myself that everything is going to be okay…I hope. But I think they should say “Dogs, a 💙 🌊, and wine make everything fine. But I’m a nauseous nervous wreck! #BlueWave2024 #VoteBlue2024ProtectWomensRights

As we all await the outcome of what feels like a make-or-break election, I want to offer some perspective, if you’ll hand a fellow with eight-plus decades the mic for a moment.

@JSMClark This is the best thing I’ve seen all day.

@JSMClark @kristen_zimmer I wish my company would do this… I’m a nervous wreck today. Tomorrow and Wednesday I feel like I’m going to be completely useless.

@AHartnettAuthor I did! It’s why my eyes are so red and itchy 😂😭😂

Me: why are my eyes so itchy?? Clark: …😏
