I'm seriously thinking about skipping health insurance another year to help with saving. Do you think that will be more expensive in the long run? I don't have any major health problems, but I also haven't visited a general practitioner in like a decade so there could be something hiding. Every decision is such a huge gamble in this fucking country. I hate it here but my job and degree aren't in demand internationally, and I'm not willing to marry an internet stranger overseas (I'm already taken anyways) so if I can't leave the country I can at least move to a state that chuds aren't swarming to with each passing year.

(This isn't because Harris lost, I'm not a fucking lib. It's because the abortion amendment failed despite 57% approval. I'm just an object here. I've actually been planning it out for a couple of years now, but this was the final straw.)

meow-hug I'm stuck in the goddamn panhandle and we can't afford to pick up and move on only her salary.

oh man.. can't imagine what the panhandle is like. i live in one of the big cities and it's insufferable. but i've heard the landscapes are much prettier there! we'll keep fighting for a way out, for all of us

It's ugly here, both the people and the land. I like trees and hills though.

My dog was found as a stray in the panhandle, before being whisked across the country. If his trauma is anything to go by, my heart breaks seeing you stuck out there.

At this point, we really should just build a Hexbear commune in WIsconsin or something.

I'm supposed to be starting a cat cult with some discord friends but maybe we can combine the efforts?

I love cats, they just make me sneeze a lot. As long as I have a cat-free sadness zone to recover from the sneezing, I'd gladly help build the cat cult!
