all this speculation last night made me start thinking about how I would behave when finding out in various places and the biggest conclusion I came to is I don’t want to find out at work

I recently was discussing this with someone and we talked about how Atlanta would become one big parade

I remember when they officially called it in the 2020 election and Piedmont Park was just pure joy that night

We drove through there that afternoon and just circled the park after they called it. The vibes were immaculate

I was also wondering where the impromptu street party here would be and wondering if I would go

Dawn @502eire.lol

this is what I was thinking. I strongly suspect a large majority of our staff would not be sad but they’re all really nice people and I’m not sure they’ll be as expressively happy as I am

And honestly, I’d probably group chat or conference with a few of you all here. Y’all are my safe space as I’m not exactly surrounded by like mindeds in my community.

If I'm at the Manna House (volunteer work), I'm not gonna show much of a reaction. Unless the one Trump loving old lady brings it up to me, in which case I'll shrug, and I might say, "Huh. I voted for Kamala Harris".

I just landed from a flight and was wondering if it happened mid flight what the reaction would be. I assume a mix that would end in a possible fight.

Guynemer @guynemer.bsky.social

Everyone knows how I feel at work, and also I’m the boss, the worst consequence would be pissing off whatever family I’m in the room with, and if they get pissed off about it when it happens then fuck em
