I mean, it used to be “go outside” to feel better, to treat depression, etc…
Bruh how the fuck am I supposed relax going outside? It would actually make me feel more anxious. I’d have to constantly scan for possible ICE agents like do a full 360 visual scan of the area every 30 seconds.
So is this just life for the next 4 years (at the minimum)? Do I just stay home unless for essential stuff? Just spend all the freetime on the internet because I’m too scared to go outside?
I’m a naturalized citizen, but with the denaturalization talks, this is so anxiety inducing. Citizens born outside of the country have the burden of proof apparantly. I kinda didn’t renew passport, I have a picture of my citizenship document on my phone, not sure that’s any good or fascists are just gonna fascist and try to throw me in cecot.
My neighbors are still going about lime this is norma, playing music and having parties. (They are hispanic btw)
How do people just be so chill about all this? Am I overreacting? Are they underreacting? What even is the healthy about of fear to have?
being gay and autistic? no. I go out to work, get food, and basically nothing else. I would’ve liked to go to pride, but I decided it was too dangerous, living in a reasonably major city, that some fuck might feel emboldened by everything else to start targeting gay people. I would’ve liked to celebrate July 4th, as well, but I’m not feeling very patriotic.
mostly just waiting to die at this point tbh – gay, autistic, or leftist; there are no shortage of reasons they’d love to target me and I have no means to leave. Nothing to do but wait.
