A Quick Post About Tomorrow... When the Resistance Starts in Earnest.

A point of order for the resistance tomorrow. As people have said with old media (ie TV), the goal should not be to simply leave the TV off. While viewership might be down, overall share of the views will be drastically up. You can see how someone like He Who Shall Not Be Named would manipulate that to say how popular he is. So change the channel, put on TLC, put on that one housing and decorating channel, put on QVC, put on something that won't be showing the inauguration. Bring those numbers down. Meanwhile online, I would say, don't hashtag him. Don't mention him. Leave him as a vague pronoun. Leave him as a vague cipher so facebook or twitter's algorithms won't pick it up and say how "everyone" is talking about him. Don't fucking give him attention. Please, don't. Don't normalize him. Don't defend the fucking prick as he is far beyond the pale. Tomorrow at 12:01 PM EST the resistance starts in earnest. Stay safe, stay INFORMED, and stay TOGETHER.
