“we never had trigger warnings”
“When I was young we never had trigger warnings for shows”. Actor Ralph Fiennes “the impact of theatre should be that you’re shocked” and that he thinks audiences have gone too soft. #BBCLauraK

One of the wildest things about US elections for me is the concept of “write-in” votes. In 2010, Republican Senator for Alaska Lisa Murkowski was ditched as the candidate by her state party. She went on to receive over 100,000 write-in votes and won the election.

Think this is a big divide in the fandom. One section seems to think every character should look like they’ve just walked out of a Hollywood costume department and makeup chair. Some people are just normal and that’s how they should look.

It doesn’t happen often, mind. The only other Senator other than Murkowski to win on a write-in campaign was Strom Thurmond of South Carolina in 1954. He would serve in the Senate until 2003, eventually retiring at the age of 100.

I don’t think the kids realise that if Harris loses, Trump wins. That’s it. There’s no third option. There’s no ‘neither’ option. One of them is going to be the next President and if it isn’t Harris, it’s Trump. Time to put on your big girl pants.
