per Decision Desk, it looks like trump won. I'm starting to see a few outlets like NBC call Pennsylvania for trump, too.

as a trans woman, i'm fucking terrified.

yeah, if you voted for trump this election, after everything over the last ~9 years, you're fucking evil. straight up evil. lots of people, worldwide, are going to suffer because of this as the world falls deeper under the influence of fascism. take care of yourself, take care of your loved ones, form communities, and be prepared to fight for your lives. we're going to need each other if we're going to to make it through this

I'm looking at moving to the Netherlands! I have somewhere to stay, I've been starting to learn Dutch, and I'm in the process of getting all my plans sorted out! I do have some friends in Germany that I want to come visit at some point once I'm settled in, though, so maybe we could meet up at some point! It definitely would be good to sort of build some community in Europe!

That sounds like a solid plan! By the looks of it, you already checked the requirements to actually get into the Netherlands and live there for more than just a couple of months.

I can't imagine how bad it must be for you to basically have to uproot your entire life, but I wish you the best of luck (wherever you actually have to rely on luck, like processing times for documents). It's great to know that you do already have a couple of people in Europe at least adjacent to where you plan to go.

And sure! I do live in Bavaria, so it's not the closest distance, but I'm certain we could eventually organise a meetup at some point.
