Florida. Heat, humidity, stench of water from the sprinkler systems, lousy coffee from the crappy drinking water, most jobs literally don't allow you to work OT. Many only hire 32 hour people. Terrible drivers, especially all the Qtip bitches that should've stopped driving 20 years ago. Redneck Nation. Massive POS politics.

Fuck Florida.

Been saying it for years. We should've left it to the spainards, the spainards shoulda left it to the natives and the natives shoulda left it to the god damn trees.

Florida used to be black on Erin's trans safety map. It was literally its own "DO NOT GO HERE" category. Unfortunately the only thing that has changed is that it's no longer alone.

It's so funny (not in a good way) to see this change - I grew up going to drag shows, there is still so much gay culture here, and it's such a a diverse place, no matter what axis you spin it on. We know trans people (one of my kids among them, but older people too) and there isn't much discrimination "on the ground" here, my trans kid got a job the same place my other kids did, and only HR keeps the paperwork with physical sex as gender, in practice they are treated as they choose. And that's at a nominally religious place. In school too, the teachers and kids did not care, just took it in stride. The outright hostility in Tallahassee is insane, but it doesn't translate to hostility in the city here. Or not yet at least.

Make Florida Freaky Again. That will be my platform if ever I run for governor.

The stinky water is because they let you use reclaimed water for watering a lawn, it's hella efficient and good for the plants. Gardens don't need drinking water. It does smell bad but is a good thing.

Not even gonna mention that the coastal areas've been dredging sand at night to keep it from sliding back into the ocean for decades... 🤮

Let. It. Die. Already.

What's not to love? The new Alligator Auschwitz is a glorious new addition, brought to all by our glorious Great Pumpkin (Putkin?)
