I'm seriously thinking about skipping health insurance another year to help with saving. Do you think that will be more expensive in the long run? I don't have any major health problems, but I also haven't visited a general practitioner in like a decade so there could be something hiding. Every decision is such a huge gamble in this fucking country. I hate it here but my job and degree aren't in demand internationally, and I'm not willing to marry an internet stranger overseas (I'm already taken anyways) so if I can't leave the country I can at least move to a state that chuds aren't swarming to with each passing year.

(This isn't because Harris lost, I'm not a fucking lib. It's because the abortion amendment failed despite 57% approval. I'm just an object here. I've actually been planning it out for a couple of years now, but this was the final straw.)

I'm safely tucked away in WA state. The town I live in is technically "conservative" but not in a southern kind of way.

Also, I live alone and while I don't have much space, I am willing to offer up my couch to any comrades in need if they need to get themselves to a safer place but may not have the financial means. That's unfortunately the only way I can offer mutual aid atm.
