It felt right to take a break from our normal programming (talking about things that don't matter) to process our feelings about what just happened this week in American politics. It's not our expectation that you share our exact values when it comes to electoral outcomes, but our bet is that you're pretty similar to us in feeling pretty bad about Trump winning a second term. If that's the case, we hope that this is of some value to you in helping you figure out a way forward, to make a positive difference for the people closest to you.

Related to this, please save the date for DuckStream 2024. The weekend of December 5-7, we will be holding a 48 hour streaming marathon to benefit the TransActive Gender Project out of Lewis and Clark College in Portland Oregon. It will be broadcast live on the Duckfeed Twitch channel, which you can follow now to get notifications. More details about the event will be coming shortly.

We're not going anywhere. We'll keep doing our best to be entertaining and distracting for when you need that. We stand with the marginalized and vulnerable, and wish you all the good fortune and resolve to be in the fight for as long as possible.
