1. I am rubber, you are glue. Any nonsense coming my way will bounce off me so fast ...
2. If need be, I will be a bystander intervention ninja (although hopefully I will never need to.)
3. Even as I remain safe in my bubble (or not), I will give all aid to those who fight the good fight.
4. Knowledge is power. The battle against ignorance and bigotry starts today.
5. I've lost enough sleep and productivity. Going back to work and life now (with adjustments as necessary.)

I could sit around and wallow in despair for a while

But, well, let's not. The next time you feel like doing that (i.e., probably every hour or so for the next two weeks [years?]): take a deep breath, remember that you're not quite going to bear the brunt of it, look forward and think of what you can do to change things, look around you and listen and offer support to those who need it more, and act. And remember that in the shitstorm of rhetoric that's still flying around you, the truth, as always, lies somewhere in the hazy unarticulated middle, and that you would do well to listen carefully and discern the inside voices and subtle overtones hiding in the cacophony. (Of course, all of this will be moot if nuclear winter actually happens.)

Oh well. What the hell.

Something to remember: Whatever your feelings about the state of the country right now, it’s fundamentally not that different a place whether the final call is that Clinton has narrowly won or narrowly lost. Add just 1 percent to Clinton’s vote share and take 1 percent away from Trump’s, and she would have won Florida and Pennsylvania, therefore would probably have been on her way to a narrow Electoral College victory.

Not actually the worst description of moduli spaces

"Yo dawg I heard you like geometry, so we put some geometry on your geometry, so you can geometry while you geometry."
