      No lie, that’s actually my biggest fear. I’d have never moved to Texas if Uncle Sam didn’t make me, and I have no idea how long the military will keep me stationed here.

      It’s one of those things that I have to tamp down on my anxiety brain, otherwise I can truly envision a genuine Handmaid’s tale or Mad Max scenario, where women are just constantly impregnated.

      Do I think it’s likely? No. But anxiety doesn’t gaf about likelihood 😭

      I’m not technically past child rearing age, but I’m in my mid-30s so I’m pretty goddamned close to it. I did change my residence to Texas last year, specifically to vote in the elections, and I was a Deputy Registrar so I did voter drives to register others to vote…but we saw how well that worked out last fall.

      I’m fighting while I’m stuck here, but the second that the military moves me, I’m out. Changing my state of residence. Removing all ties to Texas. Etc.

      When Abbott was voted in again, I had to try very hard to not be like "“Whelp. Fuck you Texas. You get what you voted for.”
