And lo,
and Dark Duck.
And the name that set on him was Brandon.

And hell followed with him.

I probably need someone to talk me down... Politics is scary.

@futurebird Instead of scary, let's get dangerous.

We must NOT end up with a lame duck Biden going "Dark Duck" being our last hope. Maybe it's nice to know that Nov. 5 isn't the end of time. But, let's not try that timeline at all.

Also, I think "lame duck" is probably an ableist term. Maybe we could replace it with "rubber duck session" since ducks are funny and we should keep that part.

(and it implies solving your problems by talking to someone with no power so you can better understand ways to solve them yourself.)

@futurebird sorry, it was an attempt at levity by bringing up a silly duck-themed cartoon character.

Will delete.

No I like it!

I'm just a little freaked out. And I really did forget about the "duck session" and it's kinda sad that it's comforting to remember it exists.

@futurebird Ah, okay. The freakout is shared, you're not alone.

@futurebird Am I the hundredth person to tell you that there's ant talk (and illustrations!) in Hank Green's new special on Dropout?

If you find anyone, send them my way. I need someone to talk me down, too. I have so much going on in my day-to-day life that I don't have any spoons left for politics. I'm just coping by dissociation right now.

@futurebird Some times it’s okay to take a break to be able to come back and fight another day.
