Parents are in such short supply these days, makes sense they’re at a premium. Most people don’t have more than two and a lot have less than that!

Looking like how my grandpa looked shortly before he died. Granted I’ve said that before and the bastard is still here but here’s to hoping it goes through this time

For real holy shit. For the same reason it’s important to have journalists in war zones, this needs documented so people can see what’s happening. We absolutely can not let fascists be the source of truth for what’s happening out there.

Plus idk about this situation, but at least when I was in Seattle SPD would immediate behave somewhat better when I would start obviously filming them harassing someone.

I did, I had been for years, and y’know what all I have to show for it is I’m more likely than ever to get killed in the streets for being trans. Fuck that I’m aging and can’t be fighting forever; what good would another dead trans be. I’ve fucked off to Europe and once I stabilize here I’ll help others do the same. The US can burn I didn’t choose to be born there and I’ve never considered it my home

I was under the impression I needed a personnummer for the bank account? It’s worth a shot with my passport at least; being able to transfer funds here would save me so much headache and fear of the USD collapsing. Might make that my quest when I wake up find a bank nearby

It has not been easy and I can’t deny my privilege, if we’re to be honest. I’ve moved on a student residency permit which requires me to prove I can financially survive the entire time. I’ve saved enough from working in tech to (probably) pay for the full 30 months tuition and living expenses.

I sold, donated, and trashed everything I owned except what could fit in a backpack and two suitcases. I’ve left my family, friends, partners, and a well paying job. I’m alone and scared and I’ve never been more stressed in my life. I can’t speak or read Swedish well at all and it makes everything more complicated and I get embarrassed about it.

The legal process was in the works for nearly a year making sure I was lining everything up correctly. It could have been done much faster but I was also in the middle of recovering from a major surgery and going through a divorce.

Now that I’m here I had to get biometrics done to get issued an official residency permit card, I took that and a bunch of other stuff to apply for a personnummer and ID card. It took a couple weeks to get the permit and the ID card will be over a month. Then I can take that card and get a Bank ID. Without a personnummer or Bank ID I basically only exist as a ghost. I can’t get a bank account, be on a real phone plan, get proper medical, hell I can’t even sign up for a grocery store membership. I don’t know how I’m going to pay rent because they want me to wire the money, my bank only does international wires over the phone, and my prepaid phone plan can’t do international calls.

I’m in a bureaucratic nightmare for an indefinite amount of time while I watch my savings evaporate. So far it’s worth it though. I feel safe here, the people are kind, I can see myself one day feeling at home in a way I never saw while I lived in the US.

2.8 million minus one; I managed to get my trans ass out of there before it was too late for me. I’m fucked off to Sweden now

Fuck me I’m almost out of here then I’m getting a foreign bank and transferring everything. At least if Sweden’s money tanks I can tank with my neighbors instead of watching the USD and my life savings evaporate disproportionately to where I’ll be living

Hell I was racing to get my own vaccines because who knows what they’re going to be pulling

Jfc, do you have a source on that? I’m going to be so fucked if that’s the case

Nvm think I found it: https://taxfoundation.org/blog/us-remittances-tax-big-beautiful-bill/

Just a few weeks away and I’m moving from the US to Sweden. Please US dollar, hold value long enough for me to get a bank account and transfer everything

Leather gloves, jeans, try and get some height above the fence before moving your hips over so you’re not getting stabbed in the genitals. A welcome mat or small rug can also solve most hostile fence tops

This dip shit has never hopped a fence before 😂

Could you link one of those videos, or some names or something so I can find them myself?

Tell me you’ve never been to a national park without telling me you’ve never been to a national park 😂

Of all the opportunities I’ve had to tell someone to touch grass this one is the most fitting. Fam I’m sorry you’ve forgotten to go outside but self care is important and I think you could benefit from touching grass

What nature areas are you going to? The US sucks for a lot of reasons you can pick from. No need to make stuff up too

The US is gigantic we’ve got something for everyone here. In particular there are massive national forests with trails of any size you can think of (the Palouse Cascades trail goes from Seattle all the way to Idaho it’s 300 miles long, the Appalachian trail takes months to hike the full distance). We’ve also got a lot of different cultures to explore, foods to eat, and history to see.

For sure don’t come here currently our government is dangerous and we don’t deserve tourist money. There are lots of reasons why someone might want to come to the US though.

I’m six weeks from moving to another country I just need USD to keep afloat a little longer. Going to get a bank at my new country and convert currency as fast as I can

I’m a couple months away from moving to Sweden for school and hopefully work after that. I’m fortunate enough to have survived the tech mass firings and built myself a good savings. I don’t have to apply for asylum currently but after school if I can’t find a job quickly I’ll be down to the wire on finances. If for that reason or any other they try and send me back to the US I’ll be one of the trans people testing asylum as well. The US wants us dead, even in Seattle it’s getting worse, I can’t come back here
