The only other state I'd live in is CA (where most of my family is), which I can't afford, so this is just a nearby option that's affordable.

This Fraudit and voter suppression shit has definitely gotten me very pissed at this place in general but I feel pretty tied down. Just re-fi'd the house too, so ... yeah.

Likely going to suck it up for a bit, and try to be part of the solution.

Saying I 'belong here'? Not likely words I'd ever use
