Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

Remember, remember
The 5th of November
Gunpowder, treason and plot
I know of no reason
That the gunpowder treason
Should ever be forgot!

So put away that meat you’re selling
'Cause I do know what’s good for me
And I’ve done what I could for you
But you’re not benefiting, and yet I’m sitting

Even by his appalling lack of standards, Andrew Cuomo's campaign for a job he'd already been denied was shameless, cynical, hypocritical and bigoted.

Slump off (again) into irrelevance, you dead-eyed husk. No decent future has a place for you.

Or as my buddy Smeagol once put it:

Gollum declaring LEAVE NOW AND NEVER COME BACK!!!

I want to do things more slowly, with intention and focus. I don’t want to rush faster and faster, gasping, until I fall over. Let me plod along like a turtle.

Congratulations to all the Democratic candidates who won tonight. It’s a reminder that when we come together around strong, forward-looking leaders who care about the issues that matter, we can win. We’ve still got plenty of work to do, but the future looks a little bit brighter.

Democratic party leadership has been on autopilot for ten years, they weren't losing to fascism, fascism isn't popular enough for them to lose to fascism, they were allowing it to fill the void where their leadership should have been. Tonight we're seeing that we have other options. They should too.

My husband and I donated to our local food bank today—please do the same if you have the means. Our communities really need us right now. Everyone deserves to eat!

I have done NaNoWriMo several times, and though the organization is over, I still like to kick in a daily writing habit for November.

I'm editing right now, and my aim is just to do a little every day.

Calling my local food bank today. We are pretty rural, and I know a lot of the people here are on fixed income and probably snap.

I'm broke, our family scrapes by. But we can afford food, so I'm going to see what they need most, food or money, and chip in.

Earbuds, new pillows, cute plushies, a good book to read.

Who needs sleep?

Actually, I do, but it eludes me tonight. Still, my mood is good and I am relaxed in my little bubble of a bed.

Eyes wide open. #insomnia

Money donations to a larger food bank like the Greater Boston Food Bank can go twice as far as food donations because they buy food in bulk.

Consider this as an option when you’re thinking about helping your neighbors out.
