Off My Chest
RULES:
I am looking for mods!
1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.
2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)
3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.
4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.
5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.
6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.
Thanks for the reasonable advice. We have all our paperwork in one place. I can see about getting passports in order. I've heard about passport ID cards, too. I'd like to have those readily available. Redundancy is helpful.
I have friends who can take care of the pets, and we have family very close by. I'll talk to friends on my block who can watch our kids in case something happens.
Take pictures and/or make copies of your documentation as well. You don't want to hand them the originals and then have nothing.
This is insane. I'm sorry.
You might try calling the police if a situation comes up? I don't see a better option.
No due process means they can come for any of us. If laws aren't stopping them, skin color doesn't have to either.
