As someone born and raised in a very red state and soon moving to a very blue state for a job opportunity, I can’t help but say it’s such a relief. While I’m not moving for the political angle, I’m so excited to live somewhere where educational, labor, and reproductive rights aren’t constantly under assault, where I can have basic expectations of sane (but of course not perfect) government.

I’m jealous. I feel trapped in this red state shithole.
I’m sorry, I know the feeling. Hope you can find your community wherever you are
