new Not One of Us

[gwynnega]

A highlight of this pandemically stressful day: my copy of Not One of Us #63 arrived in the mail! It includes my story "The Two Mrs. Mansfields" as well as work by Sonya Taaffe, Jennifer Crow, Alexandra Seidel, and others. I'm looking forward to reading the whole thing.

It occurred to me today that my mood today resembles my mood immediately after Trump's election. The horror of it, the fear I had that this guy was going to get us all killed. It's not that that feeling ever really went away in the years following the election. But that terror of a genuine crisis with this utterly inadequate person in charge...well, here we are. Fortunately there are governors and mayors and other people in office who I think are up to the task. But that doesn't make this moment any less awful.

Yeah, especially since he apparently thinks the stock market is suffering too much for his re-election chances and he wants stuff to go back to normal after the 15 day break. And they're not releasing the unemployment numbers because the stock market could panic, or testing enough because he doesn't want those numbers out.

I hate him more than I have ever hated any politician.

He is just supremely terrible in every way.

You're the second person I've heard that from today and I don't disagree.

Yup. All of that. I’ve started waking up and panicking, and I’d got that under control. I thought. Been flashing back to the morning after the election, when SL and I looked at one another and said, “We’re all going to die,” in unison.

Ugh.

Meanwhile, we try to stay in. Hugs.

Ugh, indeed.
