Same boat as your original comment. I keep telling my wife (cis) we gotta start planning to bailout, but she’s not taking it as serious.

I’m at the point of hoping I just go quick, if it comes. Trying to live my life with more intent and get the things out of it that are important; experience more while time is short, love unconditionally, etc. Very Hallmark of me, I know, but it’s all I can do. Lefties screamed Nazi from the rooftops, screamed project '25, screamed while ripping hair out… it didn’t work, and here we are. I’m trying to be helpful to those I can help, but the political situation on that national level is far beyond my control.

If we gotta bail, hopefully somewhere else lets us in. If we can’t bail, I just hope I’m not tortured before the end. I’ve lived as kind and helpful a life as I could, I think. Struggled when I couldn’t be kind, but I tried. If the end comes, so it goes. History books don’t remember the every day people anyways, we’re already a statistic. I just hope we aren’t a statistic in the Stalin-istic way.

If I were religious, I’d say I’d pray for you, and us. But since I’m not, I’ll just say that I hope things get better for you, and us.

I sincerely hope it swings back to a happier place for everyone. If you can’t live for happiness, love for spite. One day we’ll read the obituaries (of natural causes!) for these awful people and can finally have a breath of ease.

Do try and keep yourself safe. 🧡

I’m doing my bucket list now, before it’s too late. I went to the Oregon Coast yesterday and did the whole Life is Strange field trip, which was fun.

I don’t know how much time I have left: could be a month, could be the back half of my natural life. I’m not gonna waste any of it.

Also I swear to god it smells like TERF in here, someone’s downvoting is cause we’re trans.

We’re thriving and happy and I mix those downvotes in with my tea.

  Eh, I hope the best for them too, and that they one day see the errors of themselves for blind hatred. Not much I can do about it. I’ve been out and transitioning for nearly 15 years now. The current hatred has a new form, but it’s not the first time I’ve been called horrible things or told to kms or been scared of politics.
  
  I can’t change anyone’s mind. I just try to live my life on my own terms and be the person I needed. I just see people like terfs as people who grew up in a small town, or had a bad experience with someone like me. Fear of the unknown is a hell of a drug.
  
  I wrote it into a poem once, “I wish you knew me as a person, before you hated me as a perception.” No matter the argument, no matter the conversation, it ain’t gonna change the mind of a bigot. Especially todays works. So I just leave em to it. Block, downvoten, whatever, and move on. Maybe that makes me a coward, I dunno. It’s just not worth screaming to the void, anymore.
  
  Anyway,
  
  Oregon coast seems the tits! I’ve always wanted to see Thors Well nearby like, Newport? I think?
  
  Cheers to a long, uneventful life for you. I hope we may live in precedented times, for the rest of it, and… for once in the past 30 years, maybe.
