As title. Ohio is a bleak, futureless shithole in a fascist empire that treats it like a frack-water dumping ground. Healthcare access is terrible, higher education has collapsed, industry has long fled. Christians and Fascists dominate basically every lever of power. Despite best efforts, I haven’t been able to leave, won’t be an option in the foreseeable future. Why should I bother getting up tomorrow?
At any other time I would say hey come to my state but I have been unemployed for a year now so can’t see telling people to root themselves up with the idea they will find something.
I cannot leave Ohio in the forseeable future. Cannot be clearer about that. Trying to figure out how to want to be alive in this forsaken place.
