I was quiet this morning as I made the kids breakfast & packed their bags. And then my sixteen year old amazing, smart, motivated daughter silently opened her arms for a hug. I hugged her so tight & felt how tiny and young and fragile she is, even though I know in her mind she thinks she’s already grown. And then I cried and cried and shook with fear & thanked her for the hug. I asked if she might consider going to university in another country now & she looked shocked but then absorbed this 1/2

That’s good because it will be our first woman president & women are smarter. They have better ideas for problems.” I tied to be diplomatic about this, but ended up agreeing with him. And I’m angry. So angry. Angry at all the churches and fundies, angry that our rapidly collapsing environment will have even more protections stripped away, angry that 2/3 oops

Vancouver isn’t a cheap place to live and in Quebec you need French. Ontario may be your best bet. Try University of Toronto or York, Queens, McMaster, McGill, Ottawa, western. I don’t have kids, never wanted any, simply because of moments like this when your faith in humanity gets broken. You want them to succeed & be proud of them because you helped them on their path through towards a better life. Big hugs!

I cannot believe this; pathological, narcissistic, clueless, lazy, selfish, self-serving, rapist, piece of shit felon is not in jail where he should have been a long time ago. We are freaking going back… Damn it!
