Kamala Harris News Group 2.0
Everyone: what are you doing to cope with your own shock and grieving over the election? Put those in the comments.
I do hope this community can be a place of comfort, and connection. At my main account @tchambers I'll be posting some ways I am and will boost those here.
And you should read this whole thread from @heidilifeldman --> https://mastodon.social/@heidilifeldman/113439893738528407

After processing the initial grief I'm getting to work at the tasks that we would have had to do regardless of the election outcome:
1) figure out how to break through the cloud of disinformation and help more normal voters see past the deluge of MAGA noise, and
2) lay the groundwork to run effective campaigns to replace the compromised office-holders
Also
3) because of this outcome I have to talk some people back from the cliff of disengagement

@tchambers @heidilifeldman “Something useful to do after major real-world events: Evaluate and cull your sources of information and social media. Did a source make your smarter or dumber about what was happening? Did it teach you things you didn't know, even if you disagreed with its arguments? Or did it merely provide empty internet calories of outrage or conventional wisdom? If the latter, time to move on.”

Still trying things out. It doesn't help that I'm frantically trying to improve my tech knowledge so I can work online from home more often while all this mess is going on. I'm trying to incorporate meditation into my routine, redo my exercise schedule, & write in my journal again. I've been fighting a migraine for days now and I know if I don't calm down, I'll end up in the hospital.
What I'm trying to do is educate myself some more while on the Fediverse & think about things I can do in my heavily Red area, a place so red that there are no out and about democrats or liberals (they probably got harassed like me in 2020) in case folks need help or some compassion. But I will likely have to do things mostly online in between my jobs, one of which I'm going to try and get out of if I can make a living online (trying NOT to be a recluse again, but my good nature & desire to be pleasant to customers at work is evaporating).

Gov. Tim Walz in Minnesota:
"Look, folks: I know this is a hard moment. It's hard to lose. It's hard to understand how so many of our fellow citizens—people Democrats have long fought to help—wound up choosing the path they did."
"So if you're feeling deflated and discouraged today, I want you to know that I get it … Take care of yourself. Take care of your loved ones. Take care of your community. There are a million ways to make a difference—get back in the fight when you're ready."

@KamalaHarrisWin @tchambers To cope, I am seeking and sharing the best ideas from the best people who are providing advice to people who agree with the ideals of Kamala Harris. For example, Sen. Elizabeth Warren had some good advice for us, and I already shared it here today.
