Don’t leave disabled and chronically ill people out of your discussions today. Most of us won’t be able to survive if our protections under obamacare get scrapped.
Don’t leave us out of this.
“I wish it need not happened in my time,” said Frodo.
“So do I,” said Gandalf, “and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us.”

J.R.R. Tolkien, The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring
I don’t think there’s any quote more suitable for today (9 November 2016)
For once, a correct Tolkien quote. It seems an appropriate response.
Again if you’re looking to get married before you lose that right please contact me I can marry you and they won’t be able to take that away
This is a very serious offer just to be clear
To clarify I’m offering to officiate your marriage as a minister to make sure that you are married before any actions can be taken against your right to do so
I’m located in Virginia right now but I’m willing to travel a little and some states allow marriages via webcam so if yours allows that then that’s an option
I’m going to add my voice to this. I live in Washington State, near Seattle, and I’m a registered minister. I officiated the wedding of my friends Chris and Wayne when we got marriage equality here, and I’m more than happy to help others who need it.
Extra love today for those of us who have to go put our customer service faces on and be pleasant and gracious and helpful to people who woke up happy about this, those of us who have to temper our dread and hopelessness and pretend that everything is just business as usual. I’m honestly not sure how I’m going to make small talk today without just repeating, “We’re all gonna die.”
The girl who served me my coffee this morning said it with a smile and a “have a nice day” and all I wanted to do was cry.
If I am ignoring you, I apologize. I become distracted and will focus on one thing a while. Sometimes I’m just emotionally overwhelmed and I have to lay down for a while. I’m not ignoring you because it’s you it’s because life is distracting and hard and so sometimes I just need to stop talking to people and sometimes I do that suddenly.
My brain is so full right now. I love you all so much. But I’m not going to be myself for awhile.
