Hey guys,

This is not an usual update, but considering what's happening right now I felt like I just had to talk about it, because I just cannot ignore something that big and heart wrenching. As Quotev has a wordcount per update, I'll just fill in the blanks with whatever, don't pay attention to it.

That said, to all my American readers, women, persons of colour, people who don't fit into the heteronormative and cisgender norms, to all the students who go to school each morning fearing for their lives, to all the people who hoped and hoped for the Blue to make it this time around: I have no words to say just how sorry I am right now, as I see the results of these presidential elections. My heart goes out to you all.

And to women from everywhere in the world, we will not stop fighting for your rights, for our rights. Because no woman is free until all women are free. Far right is and has always been a danger to us, and we will not stop fighting against it.

I know that today is a rough day, both for the US and for my European neighbours who are fearing the consequences that this will probably have on them and the situation in Ukraine, but please take care of yourself and live. Whatever you do, live. I know how terrified and devastated you feel right now, but please live.

Love from Europe,

Marie
