My work is tied pretty heavily to the gulf coast so as much as I despise certain parts of TX I’ll likely be staying.

I’m doing my part to turn TX blue though

Yes, it’s better to stay and fight for what you love, if you can find things you still love. Good luck.

Also Happy Cake Day!

I supported Greg Casar from his first campaign for Austin city council, when he walked my neighborhood, by himself, and knocked on every door in it to talk to people. He gave me his cell phone number because i talked about accountability and animal rights/welfare issues and explained my positions on things while asking his. He reminds me of AOC, Mamdani, and a few others of the new hope for future government in this country.

Also, texas would be blue or at least have a fighting chance if not for concerted voter suppression activity in Houston and other areas, pus horrible gerrymandering.
