Texas -- a failed state
i worked there under Perry, it was rife with aggy at the time. worst job i ever had, absolutely full of assholes. i doubt it's changed much. but there was a time when i would have said 'aww good for him, congrats Colt!' but everything is stupid and has been ruined now especially in Texas so, meh.

ICE activity/raids
anyways... this one is just...wow. https://www.reddit.com/r/ICE_Watch/s/i1DCX0OZl7 it has none of the telltale AI signs but who tf knows. it looks and sounds and feels real and very, very raw. 13 mins...but the end is worth it. nobody got shot. at least this lady can say she knows what she would have done in 1930s germany.

ICE activity/raids
this is me... but im not really finding it that difficult bc i've prioritized avoidance lol mom passed in 2019 and i'll say it... i'm grateful, not that she's gone, but that i do not have to witness and she does not have to suffer what i am 100% sure would have happened to her during this entire decade, from covid on 😕 extended family is big and a mix of rural east Texas simple folk and UT/aggy grads with deep financial and political ties...all 'conservative'/maga. we've only seen each other at weddings and funerals for a couple decades, i will not be surprised once dad (78) and my last surviving aunt (90) are gone if we never see any of them again. they are not, as they say, my people, and i've never lost any sleep over it and neither have they lol. ngl, leaving Texas made avoidance a thousand times easier. and my algorithm is pretty void of any politics - animals, music, nature, cooking, and GRWMs bc they're fun, shut up. really... it's just my dad 💔 i do think he's wrestling with his amygdala. he's become very involved in local philanthropy and the past year has been eye-opening for him, he's unironically talked about it 🙄. he has said outright he does not like Trump. but...he voted for him, almost certainly all three times. give him a few drinks and the ugly starts coming out. and he still shares god awful shit on fb which i just chose to ignore. but our family is very small, and in general he's outnumbered 4 to 1, and we are also all he has, so for the most part we all manage to just avoid topic(s). and i personally do not drink with him, ever. we all just have to make the call. some of y'all with larger families and kids and whatnot, y'all have a lot more on the line and i really feel for you. i've had a loving but conflicted relationship with both parents since my youth. i'm not afraid to confront directly when pushed, and i'm not particularly sentimental which helps. also, no kids is the best decision i've ever made.
