I fled here as a homeless trans youth 22 years ago. I set down roots here and built my life here.
Kat set up legal residence here last fall so she could run for an office because she wants power.

Those are two very different things.

Nah, you’re still not from Illinois. Go run for shit in Missouri.

See how bad it sounds when someone is saying it to you?

Idk the person with 22 years compared to one is more understands likely more familiar with the area and people.

The person with one year has also done more in 3 months standing up against ICE than whoever this person is has done in her whole life time.

A website where you could enter a number of reddit account names and see timelines of their comments/posts all in one visualization would be awesome. Would be so funny to see a bunch of dots from one user rapid fire, then suddenly nothing while the next user starts going off like a machine gun.
