Leopards Ate My Face

"This isn't a joke," she said. "Why am I the only one doing all the work?"

Don't underestimate the amount of psychic damage this shit can do to someone. I'm trans, living next to a university in a solid blue county in Texas. I'm probably gonna be fine over the next four years. Probably.

Yet, I have the urge to live as though these are my last days because the world is overwhelmingly against me.

I know there's a very real chance that if I don't move, then I'll be fucked.

I know that, with my education, it really probably wouldn't be that hard to find a job that'll allow me to work remotely or that is based in a blue state. Yet I'm dead inside from all the hate and anger. I've managed to keep my head down and avoid most of the hate that'd be directed at me personally, but it still hurts.

They've been fighting against invisible monsters so long, they've forgotten that those are REAL people.

Sky is the father in law who voted for Trump.

“All those criminals that Trump’s been talking about — the rapists, the gang members — that’s not you,” Sky said. He had heard Trump say that he would deport “the bad guys” first and possibly show leniency to immigrants who had been brought to the country as children.

“You deserve to be here,” Sky said. “To me, you’re basically American.”

“But I’m not,” Jaime said.

What an absolute dystopian hellhole

Why do these people play repeats. This same shit happened last time do people just forget? Do they hear about it happening to others and just completely externalize it? Fucks sake.

I hope the grandfather has his kids and grandkids deported and never gets to see them ever again. He fucking deserves it.

Really sucks to be Jaime and his kids though. The wife should have looked into what she was signing up for, i've known for decades that if you want to be here legally you need to leave before coming back and there's no guarantee.

This country is so fucked up, they don't even have the critical thinking skills or knowledge to understand why our economy is so bad right now: Slashed corporate tax rates and media, healthcare and employment controlled by the ultra wealthy. We're just neo-slaves given less and less to make our owners more and more. Our health isn't the ownership's problem, and we're only useful as long as we are producing them more wealth.

loooooooota people next year gonna have the FAFO blues...
