As I weigh abandoning my community vs remaining in an increasingly unlivable (and also very expensive) climate, feeling very down about how our generation has been expected to abandon community at every turn, despite loneliness being the worst thing for health

“Just move to where the jobs are” “Just move to a place with lower rent” “Just move to a place where your bodily autonomy is legally protected”

Even plants grow better in groups! Why are we expected to sacrifice our relationships? Study after study shows this is unhealthy!

In many parts of the country it is legal for a doctor to refuse to treat my friends due to “religious beliefs”. In all but eight states it is legal to murder them and claim “panic” as a defense. Most affordable places fall into that category, so I can’t ask them to move with me

What a scam! Being forced to pay a premium cost of living in order to stay in a state that, at least on paper, protects your basic right to *checks notes* keep breathing

Anyway it’s obvious why there’s a concerted political project to break up communities. Communities organize. That’s not acceptable for workers to do
