about as close to venting as allow myself to get. Read it if you want, or don’t. I know there is much more important things going on than a blog post

Dunno if this will help, but I see you. I’ve got different challenges, but the world wasn’t made by or for people like us.

I woke up in the middle of the night, couldn’t back to sleep, saw the projected US election results, and have been up way too early writing this.

Just remember you are allowed to ask for help if you need it. There are many people in this world who want to see you succeed and live a happy life and will do their best to help you achieve that. I’m rooting for you, I know what it is like to have your head so stuck in the future you miss the importance and wonderful parts of now. Best of luck

I made a post with pics of my cats, mostly as a way to distract myself and others from negative emotions and thoughts surrounding the election results. It’s here if you need a mental break:

Oof well I’m tired, don’t feel like making a good summary. Just know it’s about today’s shitshow with America and how it wasn’t good, but I decided fuck it, life is worth fighting for actually. 0 structure and very few edits with this one.

Sending strength to you an everyone else struggling right now. I’m stuck in the US, but I do often worry about our neighbors to the north and south (and in the UK), because I’m well aware of the ripple effect we have on the rest of the world. I’m committed to doing what I can from here.

I’m also stuck in the US; I’m not sure there are any free countries that would accept a middle-aged, self-taught programmer and sysadmin or that I’d be able to get a job quickly.
In the meantime, I’ve posted some new stuff. Hopefully what I posted late last night won’t get me arrested in the next few years. At least my wife can go back to Australia if things get bad.
I mentioned the Cafe and linked to our events and code jams in this one.

I get it. However, some of us feel really exhausted and just can’t do anything right now. Personally, I need a break.

I’m not good at being anybody’s friend, but there’s something I’d like you to know since I’ve also had my heart broken.
Eventually, after the heartache is over, you will remember how to be happy without your ex.

I appreciate the song. I’ve never heard it before. But I resonate heavily with the lyrics mentioning some kind of forces keeping me from leaving this place. I’ve been tested, many times, but that thing I often refer to as the flame in me refuses to go out, it will not be extinguished

Finally made a more serious blog post about the results of the US elections and steps from here.
Trigger warning at the top for mentions of depression, suicide, and of course US politics.
