I've been reaching out to people in my life, reminding them we will still have each other, and we will have each other here too, fellow Lemmings.

I love strong black teas. English Bteakfast is my go to, but I love a good PG tips now and again.

Me too. Ad blockers for life!

I just ordered a new AC after the last unit crapped out. In November. My heating is off and I am still wearing my light summer clothes. It used to be into the negatives this time of year and now it's T shirt weather. Normally we'd have a couple inches of snow by now, instead we don't even really get rain anymore. I don't think we can come back from this.

Been in a drought here since June. Terrified my well is going to run dry, terrified that we are going to have a forest fire.

I've missed this!

If we could all stop using wrenches on the wing nut wings and snapping them off that would be great. Either get the wing nuts with the wrench base or hand tighten only!

Here is my advice. When someone tells you who they are believe them. Get out. DO NOT contact police or any kind of law enforcement until you are gone and safe. People like this will escalate if they feel threatened.

You can get new documents, clothes and items. Even if you only escape with the clothes on your back, wallet and phone. Make sure your family cannot track your phone. Make sure any communication you have with your helpers is locked down. Use an app your family doesn't use or understand, like Snapchat or Discord. Have your helpers or uber pick you up a few houses down in the middle of the night if you have to.

You would be surpised who still cares for you. Reach out to family, to old friends, to anyone you think could help, either by giving you a ride or taking you in for awhile. I haven't talked to my best friend from collage for over a decade, but if she called me needing help I would drop everything and head her way.

Also, I live east coast and hell, maybe I could give you a ride to somewhere depending on where you are going.

Lastly, please take this seriously. You are not overreacting. Your life may very well be in danger, and just like with any other abusive relationship, leaving is the most dangerous part. Nothing you own outside of your ID and medications are worth dying for.

I swear to fucking god the next white dude who tries to play Devil's Advocate with me is getting throwen out the window.

I don't know why, but this made me laugh so hard. They thought they could keep the ocean at bay with a big pile of sand. Oh my sweet summer child.

It always blew my mind that boats are a She, but heaven forbid we allow any women on board, they are unlucky. Like really!?

All this is happening while the older generation screeches at us to have children. No thank you, I'd rather not spend time in jail and who knows how much on court costs just because my body decided to miscarry.
