Holy shit guys.
This is so disheartening to see along with a slew of other posts making the same/similar points about the trump administration coming to power.
As an Australian (🇦🇺) I can confirm that the rest of the world is worried about you and how this will affect the future of all allies. In the last half of the day everyone had their laptops open in class so we could see the election map in real time. Everyone was routing for Kamala.
If you are a trans or queer person of any kind, a woman, or even a liberal man please do what you can to stay safe and low profile, keep informed and not turn a blind eye to what will happen.
I highly recommend leaving America for a good while or even consider immigrating to a country where the political system is more stable and straightforward. (Like Australia or England)
Stay safe out there and please don’t give up.
If by some miracle sweet potato Hitler doesn't win come the end of the week, this won't be necessary, but should he win here are some of the first things to be aware of or do.

Precautionary measures for Safe use of Electronics.
Today is the 30th anniversary of the Challenger Disaster. During my time as a NASA Co-Op I learned that this tragedy and lessons from Apollo 1 and Columbia are a integral part of training for new employees. We heard speakers tell their story about where they were that day, what role they had in the mission and how NASA can improve. We learned every choice we make in the design, fabrication and deployment of a space bound creation can effect the whole mission. This heightened culture of awareness emphasizes safety to next generation engineers. My thoughts will be with the astronauts who made the ultimate sacrifice, their families, and folks across aerospace agencies striving to carry their legacy.

I say this with love and on the verge of a nervous breakdown from watching beginner cooks who don't know better yet: ALWAYS turn your pot and pan handles in so they aren't hanging over the edge of the stove
even if you don't have children or pets who might hit or grab the handles, it just takes one moment of it catching on your shirt or your hip bumping it in passing to send a bunch of hot food and oil right at you
