SLEPT
WELL.
This past week... me + half
the nation are in a state of
existential torment + cat
anxiety about this freakin' out
election. A divided nation. 10:30
It becomes emotional. There
7:00
would be a LOT to write
about here if I were so
inclined to give energy to it.
To break it down:
1. Devotion to Hillary + strong
desire for a woman
to win.
2. Burning feminism.
Accumulated anger over a
lifetime of experiencing and
witnessing injustice + timely
directed at women.
3. P.T.S.D. the reliving of
traumatic times - the 1960's - Rights
