artistic depictions of my 2025 so far
We have a moron rapist criminal running the country raising our cost of living. My ex wife left me six years ago and it still hurts today. I can’t believe I’ve not gotten over her. On the positive I get to live my life loving my cat. So grateful for him. Even if he bites me when he thinks I’m starving him to death but I just fed him a bit ago. lol
It’d be absolutely grand if it weren’t for the collapse of democracy. There really are a lot of things coming together for me right now and I’d be so happy if I weren’t worrying about having to flee the country.
It sucks as I’m a black, autistic and bisexual woman, whose rights are slowly taken away by Nazi Germany 2.0 (aka America) and live in a very red state. I wish can flee, but I’m broke and jobless. So I’m forced to stay.
But hey, at least I lost 10 pounds this year!
The state of things is devastating. Actually getting out is the best option, I know easy for someone else to say. Right wingers love to point yo companies moving to red states for lower taxes and no employee protections, when people start leaving the states is when that narrative will change.
Not sure where you are but Colorado has paid family leave and is generally fighting a good fight and may be closest to you, depending on your red state location. Depending on the type of work you donl or want to do, securing employment in advance of relocating or looking at WFH options may be the best option to allow you to get a job and then move and not have to worry about the job location piece. Coastal places with better protections and rights are expensive as hell and probably less of an option for you but depends.
Hope you can get someplace at least measurably better and safer for you.
Thanks for replying!
I’m currently living in Texas with my family and are planning to move to Vermont in two years, even thought the state is very expensive. But at least if things goes VERY BAD in the next few years, we can flee to Canada since it’s only a few hours north of Vermont and we have passports.
I have tried to look for a WFH jobs in the past (and having a Bachelor’s Degree helps), but all of them either require years of experiences or are scams. Instead, I’ll do basic house chores to help out.
I started to argue that it would be a Nat 1. But then I realized that if a D1 existed, it would only be able to roll Nat 1’s… Which feels apt.
