Today is Election Day, 2024.

Since results still seem a long way away, I'm going to call it a night, and remind everyone that no matter what happens in the next several hours, the sun is going to come up again tomorrow.

I'll see you then.

Yep—we’ll be here. I have decided that, no matter the outcome, I am taking the controls off my tongue. This should never have been close. Not by a mile. I hope to sleep because I have a long day tomorrow, but really: this should never have been close. Sexism and racism are ruling this country. Time. Is. Up.
