Maybe, but at least for now, I still have a bit of hope things won't get that bad. But who knows

I felt such an ominous sense of dread on wenesday followed by anxiety and anger the last few days. As a Canadian, I am not going to be a direct target or victim, but I am so worried about the cruelty and suffering this will bring on others. The harassment and violence have already started to spread, the amount of people contemplating suicide is heartbreaking. There will undoubtedly be so much damage beyond the USA, be it from foreign policy, idiotic economic shortsightedness, or malicious decisions on environmental policy. I have had to start blocking out news and social media related to the election because it was really affecting me mentally, I feel bad avoiding/embracing ignorance, but I need a break

Apparently, the only way to get under their skin is to sink down to their level a bit. It's funny how much attention some of this stuff actually got. They are just so weird!

Not in Canada, it would! Apology law

Because in the film industry, actors are not the ones responsible when it comes to firearms. There are armourers/props, people, and even assistant directors who are responsible for on set safety, actors and crew trust other departments to do their job correctly and safely. There are so many rules and regulations for how guns are handled on set, on every set I have worked on guns were locked in a safe with the armourer being the only one with the key, they would have to have their eyes on the weapon at all times with no exceptions when it was outdside the safe. You don't hold an actor responsible if there is a stunt gone wrong or a piece of the set falls down because it isn't their job unless he was behaving recklessly or outrageously. Although he may hold some culpability due to his role as a producer and the financial stuff, i.e., budget cutting, hiring inexperienced crew, etc. I can't stand the man myself, but he is not the one who is most responsible for this incident

I keep wondering this, too. I am sure it doesn't help that those on the far right seem to demonize mental health help and showing weekness/needing any help. Besides the general crazy conspiracies and tendency to blame the government/others for what they see as wrong in society

This reminds me of when some idiot gets their hands on a thesaurus. Then, they try to swap out words randomly to make themselves seem smarter, and instead, it comes out total gibberish. Joey from friends comes to mind

Greedy pigs, they can't help themselves anymore. I swear it went up 20 or 30% in the last year or two, and now this. Does anyone have recommendations on where to find stuff if you are tech stupid with no computer (only a Roku TV and android phone)?

Anna and the appolypse, it's a fantastic zombie musical with insanely good songs. I have never met anyone in the real world or online who have heard of it (except a few who I forced to watch with me).

Trader joes reusable seasonal mystery bags, I know it's a bit silly, but they haven't done them for a few years and are selling them now. My family love TJs and their reusable bags

The Wizard of Oz, those monkeys scared the shit out of me. Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, the child catcher, was so creepy that he gave me nightmares. And the show Sliders was not at all appropriate, I just remember creepy cannibal sewer people that kept me from sleeping well for months.

Mr Dress-up, aka Ernie Coombs, in the same vein as Mr Rodgers. A national treasure in Canada who was the best role model for kids. They just released a fantastic documentary on him recently on Amazon I think
