I don't really know how I feel yet, it changes so quickly. Sometimes I feel like crying, especially when I read reactions to the result, I can't do that for very long. Sometimes I just want to ignore it for a while and distract myself, and then I feel guilty because I'm lucky enough to be able to do that with where and what I am and so many people are not. I had quick bursts of "I have to get my shit together and get my life to a point where before the next Austrian parliamentary election (currently scheduled September 2018) I can do my part to make sure our right-wing party doesn't win", I hope those last long enough. (If they reschedule the election to next year that's too soon, I won't be ready to do anything.) I've been writing fic, because if I post something maybe some people will like it and it will briefly cheer them up and that's all I have to offer at the moment. I don't know what to say.

Speaking of: You can prompt me with anything and I'll attempt to write you something. Fandoms I know preferred, it probably won't be long but I'll do my best.

Let's hope something similar won't happen in the next few European elections.

We were in state of shock over here, too. When I saw the results today morning I could literally not believe it. I kept refreshing my screen and searching for other news sites in the hopes the outcome would change somehow.

I think distracting yourself with things is the healthy thing to do. One has to think about it, of course, but if you do that non-stop it will change nothing and just drive you crazy.

We were talking at work a lot about what that type of trend means, specially after the Brexit. We're also worried about the upcoming elections in France and well, Germany next year. I worry a lot about that too, but at least there I feel like I can do something instead of being a useless bystander.
