    Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi. These are states that would cause my suicide if I had to live there. Florida gets an honorable mention here.

        I live in the Bay Area, CA. I’m already in the best part of this country (for me). It’s attached to a bunch of red states with stupid people who vote against our interests. 2020 taught me how shitty my fellow citizens can be. I wanted to get the fuck out and would have, were it not for my partner (we met at the end of 2021).
