combat trump: read

there are many things we can do over the next four years to combat what is most certainly going to be a gruesome and dark period in this country. one of the most important: READ. seriously. the election of trump represents the death of a fundamental component of democracy: intellect. it has been stigmatized as something bourgeois and elitist and it is not. it's a wonderful thing that anyone can acquire. so whether you're an academic or a 9 to 5er read. read voraciously. and when the dust settles we'll be a better place for it. cus i love my country with all my heart and i know you do too. and we're not gonna let a bunch of misogynistic half-wit goons take it over.

dream

had a dream last night that i was traveling abroad with two other people. on a whim we decide to take a trip to south america before heading back to the states. the ticket attendant tells me it will be $550 and $350 respectively. i suddenly realize you need money to buy plane tickets. i become visibly upset. the attendant calls over her manager. he looks at me and goes "are you biggie smalls?" i tell him i am not. he gives me a sly look and instructs her to give me the tickets for free. i wake up. dream analysis: biggie's alive and he's stuck in an airport in europe.
