So the worst possible thing just happened - a sexist, racist, bigoted, orange peanut just became the President of the United States, over a more-than-qualified possible first female POTUS. It sucks.
Though this may be a time of great anxiety, fear, and sadness, we must support each other and remain strong. Love and laughter are the best medicine, so here is a comprehensive list of activities you can do to get through this day, this month, this year.
1. Watch Female-centric Stand Up on Netflix
Feel empowered and laugh your ass off! Check out Iliza Schlesinger, Chelsea Peretti, Ali Wong, and Chelsea Handler!

2. Read Harry Potter
A whole series dedicated to the power of love and friendship overcoming prejudice, discrimination, and an evil Dark Lord. But that’s just fiction, right? Or watch A Very Potter Musical. Just like regular Harry Potter, only funnier!

3. Drink Wine and Watch Cute Puppy Videos
Escape Reality. This day never happened. Your only concern is finding a puppy to hold.

4. Scroll through Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Twitter
A voice of a generation, the ambitious optimist, a musical genius. His words will comfort you like your mother’s chicken-noodle soup. #Bitofaday

8. Listen to Music
Listen to songs that will give you hope, empower you, and ease your troubles away - such as the Les Miserables soundtrack. Better yet, make a Spotify Playlist called “Help Me I’m Dying”, “Garbage Can on Fire”, or even “Oh God No Not 4 Years of This Please”.

9. Shatter Your Own Glass Ceiling
So we didn’t smash that oh-so-high glass ceiling. Instead, If you see a piece of glass, smash it yourself. Maybe it’ll give you satisfaction, but most likely you’ll just end up with a bloody hand.

10. Get Involved
