Four Fun Things (on Election Day!)

I don’t get the ending can someone please explain it to me ?

I’m so so sorry, America. I thought you were better than this. I guess I was wrong.

We in Europe just woke up to the scary election news. I’m terrified. Brexit, Trump, the rise of nationalism everywhere – these are scary times.

I voted early this morning with my 5 year old son and 6 year old daughter….an amazing day to say the least! I hope they remember years from now when they came with me to vote as it is really such a big deal! Now I nervously await the results….fingers crossed!!!!
I only wish I took off tomorrow from work bc I am going to be exhausted waiting but all night!

Everyone must, must watch the Samantha Bee episode where she dissects Hillary’s emails and what they found. “Scandalous and awful things” like an email from Hillary after finding out about a ten year old Yemeni girl who was getting divorced: “Can we get this girl to the US for education and counseling?” Or how about her response to hurricane victims in Haiti “What are the logistics of getting them food and medical supplies by first light?” Had me in tears. I didn’t just vote against Trump I voted FOR Hillary. She’s a badass who will fight for all women and children! (Not to mention everyone else!

I’m gutted I can’t vote, the enthusiasm of politics in America makes me want to get involved + I LOVE that computer skin :)

I voted this morning! I have two little girls and 2 teenage stepdaughters and I was so filled with joy and pride as I told them their dad and I were voting today to help elect the first female President of the United States!! What a privilege it is to exercise our right to vote!

I went voted earlier with my 7 year old daughter in tow. I’m trying to impress upon her the significance of electing our country’s first female president. But in a way it’s great that she takes it for granted. Like, yeah, so? Hopefully we’ll ALL one day take it for granted, it will be so common.

Thank you for being a role model. Thank you for encouraging women to use their voices and their rights from such a special platform. As a woman who’s career rests on continued public support, it’s no small act to voice your opinion in what has been such an ugly and divisive atmosphere. Thank you for being a breath of internet fresh air that is rooted in integrity. It’s a rare combination.

I love your positivity on the nerve wracking day! Great links. Thanks for the distraction.

Sitting here in England, thinking of you all doing the voting! Wish I could add my voice. Hoping for the right result…

In London and everyone is scared. People still remember the hmmh Brexit. America make us proud! Sending love!

Woah. Such a cool twist in that short film. Did not see it coming.

I wasn’t able to sleep last night and I haven’t been able to sit still today so I signed up to call voters in swing states for Hillary. In addition to voting myself, GOTV and feeling useful helped calm me down. (As as aside – surprising # of people don’t pick up their phones: ~7/100 ppl answered.)

LOVE THIS! thanks for sharing. you made my day! loved everything in there!!! #imwithher #wishIcouldvotebutImfrench :(
darn it!!!

I was at my polling site by 5:30 a.m. :) loving that marbled computer skin.

I took the day off of work so I could vote with my nearly-1-year-old daughter. I’ll admit, I got a little teary in the voting booth, holding my daughter in one arm and voting for our first woman president with the other. Now we’re spending the day relaxing, eating graham crackers, and distracting ourselves with good tv and our favorite blogs. Thank you for always being a bright spot (and voice of reason!)

I was trying to figure out why it was called a “sci-fi” film and then BAM. so good!

I love when you share short films, documentry/movie recs, etc. I always enjoy them- thank you

That 8 minute film! So good!! Thanks for sharing :)
