I needed this! I feel like Barbara does, and you, Bea, and Harriet ALWAYS provide hope and encouragement! We can do this! I feel like you about who is going to win, and yet, I allow the darkness of what we're experiencing to creep in like a stain. You made it recede!
You boost me up with all that you do and all your suggestions for things to listen to, read, etc. Have shared that Deep State Radio episode with a lot of people!
Thank you, again, Belle, for making me feel positive. I've been so stressed--waking up every night at 3:00 a.m. and worrying. I walk around with a big knot in my stomach, wondering if our country as I've always loved it is going to change in drastic ways. (It doesn't help that I'm teaching Rumaan Alam's amazing novel LEAVE THE WORLD BEHIND this week and have literally been reading about the end of the world!) I'm working the polls, handing out lists of Democrat candidates in Durham county and talking to people wherever I see them. I wear my Kamala "HAppy Warrior" shirt and Kamala button everywhere (except school). I also remind my students to VOTE--letting the voice of their generation be heard! But I'm still so stressed, so thanks for your words. I will try to be as positive as you and your girls. They are an inspiration to me.
That's excellent and probably the two most effective things you can do, Barb--tell students to vote and working the polls. Poll greeting is really effective. Thank you!
Whoops that was a poll greeter! I have been doing that since Obama! I always bring my hula hoop because it’s traditionally freezing here on Election Day
It always makes me happy that our polling station in St Steven’s Church is a very civil
Thank you for this! I was really stressed out last week, when the polls were tied. But the hatefulness of last night's debacle in NY is giving me hope that good people will do the right thing.
And your #2, I think I'm seeing that too. I live in very red Wilkes County. And yes, there are Trump signs. But I think you're right, not as many as 2020, or 2016. And it's nice to see some Harris/Walz and Josh Stein signs popping up. Even if they're in the "city" of Elkin and not out here in the county, they're still there. Thank you for all your canvassing.

Thank you for working the polls and talking with people! I know that each and every one of us who can work on this IS working on it.
Beas crocheting enthusiasm makes me happy!!!
She is crocheting as we speak! Or maybe knitting!
Thanks for your infectious positivity!
Happy Birthday Grandpa Allen and also to Isaiah and cousin Jeff Haynes too!
How cute is a Cutasaurus?!absolutely fabulous
I’m wearing my buttons and pins and signs and bumper stickers like badges of honor and getting lots of positive feedback!
Like who would be dumb enough to show support Trump or any other Republican candidate?!
Hoping I will be able to be spill greeter again this year! Love from Mamie

Love the Cute-o-saurus!

Thanks for all that you do! I took my 92 year old mom to vote with me. I was even allowed to fill in her choices for her.
