#plus the goddamn everglades are here

okay yeah desantis is a shitheel and EVERYONE FUCKING KNOWS IT, AND WE ALL HATE HIM TOO.  Florida isn’t a “worthless rotting landfill,” goddammit, there are people here. We’ve got lives. We matter. Y’know how many queer people there are in this state? How many PoC? How many folks who are on the right side of politics and history who have always been here that get fucked over by gentrification and wave after wave of fascy snowbirds who come down here to retire and shore up the Republicans?  There’s a lot.  Yeah fuck DeSantis. OBVIOUSLY. But honestly I’m sick and goddamn tired of “I live in Florida” or “I’m from Florida” being both setup and punchline. Folks seem to think that me and my family and loved ones should deserve what we get ‘cause we’re here, and we can’t easily just pull up stakes and abandon what we have to get away.  fuck that. we were here first, it’s the fascists that need to leave, and we’re fucking trying.
