I remember all too well dressing in all white to vote in 2016, confident of a Hillary win. Went to vote at City Hall in SF yesterday to feel some voting excitement. I’m so nervous about the outcome not only for myself, but the whole world!

It feels like half of the world is keeping it´s fingers crossed about this election. Hoping for democracy, dignity, and the future to win! Go Kamala from Germany!

... and of course a speedy and full recovery for you. Get well and rest as needed. :)
