My fannish friends who are despairing at Trump's evident victory: jjhunter has a bit of hope for you, if you think you can take action. Not necessarily right this very minute, of course. But we, as fannish people, know the power of story. We know the power to shape the narrative.

If enough of us think big enough and do something with the next few years? We can use that.

teardrops in the shower

crying in the shower
where it won't show a track
crying for my country
as it turns the clock back

sobbing in the shower
for it's not safe to stay
in this country that so hates me
not safe another day

weeping in the shower
for I don't know how long
where will I go? what will I do?
how can I, so hated, stay alive and strong?

breathing in the shower
air and water are our life
let them hate me. they won't win.
I will live. I will live.

To everyone terrified of the Trump administration, with special attention to my fellow trans, genderqueer, and nonbinary people, and my fellow disabled people.

Breathe. Air is life.

Drink. Water is life.

Eat. Food is life.

Sleep. Take breaks. Rest is life.

Shower, brush your teeth, and take your meds. Health is life.

Do something that brings you joy. Joy is life.

Do something that brings you strength. Strength is life.

Speak to someone who will remind you you are loved. (Spoilers: You are loved. :) ) Love is life.

If you are able, go outside. Plant your feet on the earth, hug a tree, or admire a flower. Earth is life.

When you are ready, fight. Fight for the trans kids who have just seen their transition hopes go up in smoke. Fight for the disabled adults who have just seen their health care vanish. Fire is life.

Live.
