Tori Dunlap:
Hi, everybody. We’re going to keep this short and sweet. It’s election day. It is an exciting yet hair pulling out, stressful day to be an American. I’m not going to tell you to vote because hopefully you’ve already done that or you’re on the way to the polls to do that now. Instead, I am going to tell you that I’m proud of you, and remind you that you did all that you could to support the kind of policies and the kind of leaders that you want to see more of, and I just want to give you the most big virtual hug ever.
I’ve been scared about this day for, really, years at this point, but I am doing my best today to take care of myself, not to stress over what the polls are saying or what information we do or don’t have because we know that this election is probably going to take a couple of days to figure out at the presidential level. Go buy yourself a little treat. You deserve it. Don’t stress scroll on your phone. That’s not going to be productive. Just take good care of yourself, today and all days.
No matter what happens, her first letter K is still going to be here. Her first letter K actually started because Donald Trump got elected the first time, and hopefully the only time. I’m recording this in the past, hopefully the only time. The world’s going to continue to go and life is going to move on no matter what happens. And no matter what happens, we are going to continue fighting for the kind of policies and the kind of leaders we want to see more of.
So I just want to pop into your earbuds, AirPods, headphones, speaker, to remind you that it’s going to be okay. Take really good care of yourself today. Take lots of deep breaths, go in lots of long walks and buy yourself some chocolate. We love you. We’ll see you back here soon.
