Hello anxiety

I had a great panic attack driving home after getting thru town and seeing nothing but Trump/Pence signs everywhere. In fact tons of them for 200 miles thru Ohio and WV depressing AF. Now maybe it's a bit too soon after picking a VP for the Biden signs but I know they wouldn't be here. We have people actually flying FLAGS made of cloth reading Trump/Pence. Last election I had a neighbor threaten to kill me if I voted Hillary. (he was arrested and gone before that happened).

I'm not alone in fearing for their mental health in the remains of this year and beyond if our current idiot wins again.

Wasn't home an hour before Dad yelled at me for sitting in the wrong place on the couch. Sigh.

Really glad I made this effort. I was happier not being around anyone and in Jackson I only drive in the commercial areas so I didn't know how horrible it all was but I had to cut thru residential to get where I'm going.

I know a lot of older faculty are retiring early to get out of the nightmare covid has made of the university system. Maybe I should start looking for a job in a better place.

Q: A fandom you’ve abandoned and why. Honestly I haven't really abandoned any fandom. Oh there are plenty I barely look at any more, mostly anime ones, but if the mood struck me I'd pick it up again.
