Hi my name is C and my boyfriend J and I are trying to leave Texas in march but my plan to move to Colorado failed due to some laws that have been passed, we both make around 1,400 a month currently and have 3 cats so we definitely need to account for finances. I’m just having trouble finding a place that we can go where we will be safe we have somewhere to live and something to eat any suggestions are appreciated!
I’ve gone to multiple protests and rallies in the Dallas area since the reelection of Donald Trump, but something I noticed that I find quite concerning is that every one of these protests is spoken to and approved by the city, which is not doing anything for example having a protest on a Saturday, which is not disrupting any businesses or anybody else does not do anything the point of a protest is to be there for days, annoying people, and getting your point across and that’s what I wanna do I’m not sure how to start it but I’m hoping that this will at least get my foot in the door. I want to do a work week protest consisting of thousands of people standing in the middle of the city disrupting work disrupting traffic disrupting everything the same way this administration disrupted our lives are medication our food and our gas. We shouldn’t be nice by talking to the city and collaborating with pigs. These people have beaten, raped and murdered children and allowed those things to happen to children and people we should not be patient. We should not wait for them to listen because they will not. It doesn’t matter if we don’t have all the luxuries we used to it’s better than being crushed by administration that wants nothing good for us. It doesn’t matter if you’re black white brown gay or straight they hate you too They don’t care about you no matter who you are or what work you do or what you say to “ support “ them
At this point in my life, I was going through a pretty big depressive episode and one night I finally got tired enough to try to escape it after eating an entire bottle of Benadryl I went into my room and laid down on my bed and started to feel the effects and realized that death was indeed setting in. I kind of just laid there dazed out and confused and then I look over to see my TV floating around my room as I’m following it with my eyes I look over and see my nanny who had died when I was eight she walked up to the bed, sat down and asked me what I was doing there and I told her that I was tired and I just needed to visit her for a minute to rest and she said “no you don’t you have people who need you down there” and then I close my eyes and she was gone after laying there for a bit longer one of my best friends. Ashlyn was sitting on the bed, brushing the side of my head with her hand and telling me that I was going to be OK and just keep breathing and that I was gonna be alright then I opened my eyes again and I was over my body laying on the bed lifeless. I turn my head and see my nanny standing right there and she said “you’re going to choke flip over” I said “I can’t nanny I’m not there” she then told me to do it and so I picked up my own body and flipped it over and proceeded to end up back in my body puking all over the floor seconds later my sister walked in the room, asked me what was wrong then I was rushed to the hospital to get my stomach pumped The doctor told me that they have no idea how I survived and what made me puke because in the state I was in my gag reflex, and my muscles were not supposed to be working especially not enough to make me puke. I’ve never gotten to share this story before so it’s nice to know that I’m not the only person who has gone through something like this
