  • My family moved from the US to Australia during the end of his first term. We had considered it for a couple years prior but we had hope Trumpism would die by the end of his first term. Then Covid hit. Then the American right made political statements out of medical concerns like vaccines and masks. At that point, we had enough. I’m immunocompromised, and she was a non-citizen permanent resident. Neither of us felt safe in my home country anymore so we stated the immigration process for me for my wife’s country, Australia.

    As we wrapped up our life in Colorado, when we saw 74 million people vote to re-elect the traitor in Nov 2020, we knew we had made the right call to leave. A few months later he attempted to overthrow the government and install himself as unelected dictator. Our house sold a few weeks later and we left the US 2 months after that.

    The rule of law is dead in the US now, and I couldn’t be happier with our decision to leave. Just yesterday I read an article about ICE arresting and deporting a green card holding Australian upon his return from a funeral in Aus. That could have been my wife. Fuck that.

    Best decision ever.










  • You’re very good at overlooking misogyny.

    From a humanist perspective, of course all people get lonely and almost all of them deserve support. From a realist perspective, young men today have been spoon fed hate by the likes of Tate to the point that they can’t even express sadness without bashing women.

    I swing between feeling empathy for these misguided men and feeling cynical anger towards them for the damage they’ve done to society re: the rise of the brocaster manosphere and their support of Trump, fascism, and hating on women and LGBTQ+.

    Keep apologizing for them tho. It’s cute 🥰
