I am incredibly disappointed with my behaviour in a dream last night. I was very attracted to a colleague, and we were close to getting off with one another. Then a close friend told me that he'd sexually assaulted her, and I said of course I believed her, and wouldn't take it further with the colleague. But my behaviour absolutely indicated otherwise, and I ended up in bed with him anyway. UGH. (This is not a metaphor, this is me still being disquieted by what happened while I was asleep.) Also I had to have a digit cut off my hand for an infraction I can't remember (possibly related to manically hiding keys) and I was very butch and it didn't hurt at all. And kept growing back when I wasn't looking at it.

Also I have now had several rather in-depth dreams about said colleague, which is a little disconcerting when I work with him so closely. I am also annoyed with myself that the point at which I was happiest in the dream was when he said I was beautiful, because 1) I would rather be appreciated for factual attributes, such as my AMAZING humour, and 2) I would like not to need his approval, and feel that I seek validation too much from alpha men.

The election results are really depressing. Conservative majority, all the predictions are predicting. AND a UKIP seat. But I'm enjoying the Scotland results, with Jim Murphy and Danny Alexander in particular gone. I will be interested to see what happens with Sandi Toksvig's Women's Equality Party. The feminist parties in the elections with the first women voters didn't do well, for various reasons. I don't think WEP will fare much better, and will have to be too middle-ground to distinguish themselves from other parties beyond gender. I haven't looked into their policies, but I can all too easily imagine it ignoring trans issues at best, and falling into TERFy territory at worst.

Tsk at dream-you, apart from the butch and magic finger-growing bit! However, awake-you is AMAZING and HUMOROUS!

I am depressed and scared by the election results. I am cautiously interested in the Women's Equality Party - it's unclear to me if this is an existing party that she's joining or a new party that she's founding. I've seen reports that suggest both. And I really hope it does not become TERFy.

THANK YOU! Today I am slow and bored and overwhelmed. And also very depressed by the results. I think that the Scottish Parliament may be able to counteract some of the worst excesses of the Tories in Scotland, but everyone in England is just fucked.

I think it's a new party she's founding, but I'm not really sure yet.

Aw, you can't be held responsible for dream you. I think a lot of dreams are about anxieties, so a lot of the time it's about stuff you'd never do, or are afraid of doing, anyway?

The election lasdkaslksd. With more swearing.

Maybe! I am now afraid of not properly supporting victims, and I do have massive anxiety going on around at the moment.
