Thank you all for hanging out with us today! Love you and love your faces!
And again, shitting on the Left is a bad and unhelpful idea that I would think was bad and unhelpful even if I were not a gol-dern socialist. I'm super sorry, but as much as some of you may not like us on a personal level, you do truly do not have the votes to with without us. Don't be a reverse Trotskyist, because we all need each other! MUAH.
If you'll permit me--
One of the things I love most about this place (and have since I stopped lurking) is that there are times when I (and I notice everyone else) just want to express something that they don't want to say to friends (in real life), or to family, or don't feel like they friends/family and you can just come here and say
"I'm really scared because..."
"I hate my husband/friend/mom/boss right now because..."
"I'm so sad and I don't know what to do..."
and also
"I am really excited, something great happened..."
And you get likes and upfists and strangers sending love and hugs (if wanted) and advice and good luck and "I was wondering what happened" and everything. It keeps me, for one, from feeling alone when I feel alone, and loved when I need it.
Whenever I see those posts, I try to chime in too--I can't always, but I'm always on your side, my friends.
