we just had an override for the school district(otherwise known as stealth taxes...we sneak 'em in, like giving a pet a pill--it's stupid, but it kind of works.)
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

JD Vance's half-brother was running as a mayoral candidate in Cincinnati, but he was defeated pretty soundly, thank god. And it looks like the NYC race was called for Mamdani, hooray! Plus female Democratic governors in Virginia and New Jersey. Pretty fucking good so far!

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
There are some nice results coming in from the eastern side of the country tonight. Steph, you’re a proud Cincinnatian, right? Congrats on kicking Vance’s half-brother back into whatever hole he crawled out of to try and be mayor.
ETA: jinx!

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Prop 50 called as a W as polls close.

Dems swept the VA State House, won the 2 governorships in NJ and VA, and held the PA Supreme Court.
And Prop 50 won by a WIDE margin.
I'm feeling... hopeful? Is that this feeling?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Whew, I’m having a hard time winding from all this good news and catching the Mamdani speech (happened on a stream just as he was coming out to speak, pretty great!)
