Someone is scamming people by pretending to be the Wilco sheriff and using INSIDER INFO THAT THE SHERIFF HAS to make people pay because they're afraid they have some kind of crime that they didn't know about. Don't fall for it. Scams are getting bigger and more real. Stay safe out there.
I'm having the most difficult time accepting that there are haters who will subject me to fraud and abuse me on a regular basis. I think they may be from central TX and I just moved away. I'm in a better place now, but still, there is hate following me. In /r austincirclejerk there were people spewing hate about every progressive advocacy point you can think of and I just feel the pain. I hate it.
I love my job. I love my life. There are people I really care about and keep close that I don't ever want hurt because of me and my identity. I identify as a bi woman, but part of me is trans. I feel afraid about sharing too much and people seem to take advantage of my kindness and desire to help others. I'm struggling, I guess. Hope y'all are well.
Absolutely smelly and the best cat ever. my girl Helena is almost 10 years old! I love her so much.
I'm still recovering from trauma from working in the school district and being harassed by Mary Bone and Danielle Weston. I'm wondering if there's a support group lol
I'm grateful to live here and love many things about this town, but I'm not grateful to still wonder who mailed my ex-husband (I don't even know if he still lives round here, but frankly, I could see him leaving) a used tampon along with Trustee Harrison and a RRISD parent.
Y'all, this traumatized me. The mail had been in the box for multiple days in 100+ degree weather. It stank. I wanted to die that day, and I was treated like a problem for having a problem instead.
If this was posted on People of RR on Facebook (I got banned for speaking out long ago), then I'm sure I would get hate. But the truth is, I want to heal, and I want to find others who want to heal. I know those two jerks aren't on the board anymore, but likely wreaking havoc somewhere else.
I hope to connect with anyone who wants to see DA Hobbs held accountable for not prosecuting any consequences related to who did this. It's a federal crime and my ex was supposed to follow through with the federal investigation and never did. I want to see justice before more happens like that hate crime.
It made me suicidal at the time and I am STILL struggling with knowing that I belong here at times. My mom died that year before I resigned and I was treated like a monster by all involved, including my ex. He was accused of assaulting others the day after my mom died. He may be a keyboard warrior, but he'd rather stay home in front of a computer, so that in addition to knowing his character as opposed to those who accused him informs my knowledge. Moms for Liberty is a terrorist organization that made my time working in RRISD wrought with stress and feelings of hate directed at me and my family. They're Nazis.
So no one was penalized for biohazard hate mail back in 2022, and I'm still living with PTSD. My bosses absolutely harassed me due to those two board members, and frankly, I don't want to shut up about it until I see the crime of the bloody tampon dealt with on a local level, and then prosecuted. All those people hating on the superintendent should aim that energy at the asshole who made me want to die in 2022.
BIG BTW: I'm fine, safe, all that, but PTSD is a painful condition.
Helena is so fluffy! I love her. She is 9 years old this month!
Jinu is so happy with the new soil/sand substrate. He ate a bunch of crickets today with some meal worm munchies. Thank y'all for helping me and creating great resources! I'm eager to upgrade him to a 40" tank soon!
Anyone else struggle with being bullied in opera settings for having a disabling condition? Every day since I was fired from Gilbert and Sullivan Austin, I've considered how it has impacted my outlook about singing.
The truth is? I don't know that I can perform again after how I was treated, And I wish they weren't still honoring a racist and sexist director. He may not be in charge right now, but he is still held in this "can do no wrong" place and he verbally abused my friends, constantly yelled, had little patience and contributed to my trauma. In r/opera, their producer Michael Meigs actually found my post explaining some of my experience to troll me in the comments saying how happy he was that he fired me. I struggle with life-threatening conditions, and he told me I was a problem. I've had voice teachers tell me I'm just broken when I struggled with intonation due to allergies and audio processing. I get psychogenic fevers. Life is just stressful, so I wish that "just have fun" companies would call out the Bs in addition to being transparent. I wish ppl were kinder and maybe opera wouldn't be dying if people were more compassionate.
