Unraveling at One's Own Ridiculousness: Some Good News

Not to totally beat a dead horse, but is anyone else completely over the moon annoyed at the men, yes, MEN, who are condemning Trump but refused to vote for or endorse Hillary in the first place? Saying bullshit like "I don't trust her!" or whatever excuse helped you feel better at the time... (not like you're sexist though, right? Oh, of course not!) 

So, are you guys feeling good about your third party vote? 

...

Are ya? 

I'm not even talking to the people who actually voted for Trump. I'm done with you lot. I'm not sending you all a card, or a letter, or "defriending" you. I'm just done. 

I've had people ask me since the election, since I decided to stop being quiet, since I've been outspoken about human rights, how many times a day I block or "defriend" people on Facebook. I'm sure it would surprise you to learn, less than a handful of people have been blocked by me since around the election. I find it to be more hilarious to watch people unravel their own ridiculousness, which I suppose, could be said of me. Though, I also find that when one has nothing but hate to stand for, then they have no argument to stand on, and quickly lose their footing. And sadly, few will be left to help you back up. 

So I wait for them to unravel in their own ridiculousness. And much to my amusement, there can only be amusement, anything else is too depressing, I get quite a show. 

It's sad that our reality has come to this. Well, my reality. I won't presume to know your reality.

In other news: I actually have good news. Several accounts of good news, actually. Over the past several months, I've had plenty of accounts of good news. But one really loses their will to share good news when so many terrible stories are happening. Does anyone else feel instantly guilty when they post about something trivial like ice cream flavors or Harry Potter and then another f***ing story comes out where the administration did (or didn't do, in many cases) something so terrible, that the dumb ongoings of your Facebook feed seem much less important...?

So, I'm declining to share anything today other than my mood. Sometimes, my mood is hard to pin down. That's when I write the above nonsense that came into my head and made me feel like I'm actually helping break up the monotony that is Facebook. But I'm sure the feeling is fleeting and I haven't done anything of the sort.
