Thanks. I think it was you I saw mentioning moving abroad; I hope that goes well for you and your family, too.

I just don't understand people. My partner's brother (also brown, also first gen) is a Trump-loving cop. I'm hoping we don't have to rely on him for anything but I'm also weirdly grateful that he's my partner's brother because you bet your ass I will make it his business if anything happens to my partner; I still have the tiniest hope that brother would go to bat for him.

Yes, that's me. Got my first job interview tomorrow. At 3:30 am. Apparently the Earth isn't as flat as certain people on the internet would have you believe.

And yeah, there were a surprising number of brown people who voted for Trump, especially men. I don't get it. He hasn't been even a little secretive about what his plans are. They really don't get that they could get caught up in this insane net of Trump's.

Good luck on the job interview!

Thanks! It's not a job I'm dying for, so I'm thinking of it more as practice, but I will take anything if it means we can get over there in January and afford basic things like a home and food.
