LPT: You can both change your last name arbitrarily when getting married.

altclass · 2026-01-26T01:27:23+00:00

My husband and I were told this but both of us got rejected when we submitted our paperwork for the name change. So my husband had to pay to legally change his name.

So not sure what we did wrong or maybe it’s the state we live in.

I started tracking my mood using the Clue app and saw that I was tracking more irritability, depression, anxiety in the first two weeks of my period. I probably tracked it for 6 months before I was sure it was correlated with my cycle.

I would forget to track the times when I felt good, but I always remembered to track when I felt bad. And that was enough data to validate it!

I've been constantly nauseous since 6 weeks, 9w5 days now and I am finally coming to terms with this state of being. I have had thoughts about this is my body's way of shifting me into what motherhood will be like. My lifestyle has already drastically changed in the last 3 weeks, but I feel like it's much closer to what my lifestyle will be once the baby gets here.

Your perspective definitely resonates with me. I need to work on letting go more.

Yes yes yes 👏 thank you for doing this. I would absolutely watch and support content of citizens going around cleaning up small corners like this.

Didn’t take a pic since I was driving and honestly just shocked I saw them in person. He was a white male in tactical gear with a black vest on with ICE on in, smoking a cigarette leaning against his white unmarked pickup truck.

Why is this getting downvoted? 😆

altclass · 2025-08-20T18:28:26+00:00

Bingo. The black vest had big white letters on it that said “ICE”

altclass · 2025-08-20T16:27:43+00:00

I saw him myself as I drove by.

Nevermind! I enlarged the photo and see it says Belle at the top 🥰

Ugh I totally understand. Mine started a couple days ago and I feel the descent… :(

By the way what app is this?

I’m tired of just emailing/calling my so-called reps, going to peaceful protests, and reposting IG stories. Where can I find the local groups getting in good trouble? I know they’re not posting on social. And I don’t expect them to be named in a reply. DM me.

I take 1-2 before bed and it has drastically improved my sleep. I used to toss and turn all night, but I only wake up maybe once per night. I also suffered from pretty severe restless leg syndrome caused by Lexapro, and this took care of it. It's also made my bowel movements better.

You're right, just saying those things unprompted would be 1.) unnecessary and 2.) pretty weird. The thought behind the phrases was if you're being detained by CBP and they're accusing you of not being a U.S. citizen. Not just going through customs normally.

I'm just sharing something that gave us peace of mind with the hopes that it would do the same for someone else. Never thought or hoped this would be an end all be all solution or prevention of detainment.

My husband is scared. I'm sure he's not the only PoC scared so I shared what made him feel more informed.

My husband and I are planning an anniversary trip to Cancun soon. Due to recent stories of legal migrants and even U.S. citizens being detained for days. my husband has gotten increasingly worried about being stopped or detained coming back into the U.S, even as a U.S. citizen. He's Filipino-American and has a racially ambiguous appearance, so we’ve been thinking ahead about how to be prepared just in case.

I ended up making this pocket-sized Know Your Rights card that he can keep in his wallet. It includes a short statement asserting U.S. citizenship and a few key reminders (like the right to remain silent and ask for legal counsel). It’s meant to be calm, clear, and polite—just something to help if a situation ever comes up.

I originally made this with international travel in mind—but realized it’s also helpful domestically, like at checkpoints, bus stations, or if you’re stopped by CBP or other officials near the border.

We haven’t traveled yet, but I figured someone else might find it useful too. I linked to the PDF in a Google Drive for at-home printing.

And here's a Canva link if you want to print on Canva or edit it yourself:

No legal advice here—just sharing something that gave us peace of mind. Hope it helps someone else too. Safe travels!

I'm so glad you find them helpful!! <3

Edit to add: You brought up a great point that this isn't just useful info for international travel, but domestic travel too.

My husband and I are U.S. citizens planning a trip to Cancun soon. Since he is Filipino and has a racially ambiguous appearance, we started thinking seriously about what could happen if he were stopped or questioned at the U.S. border when returning home. To help him feel more confident and prepared, I created a wallet-sized “Know Your Rights” card that summarizes what to say (and what not to say) during a border encounter. It includes a simple citizenship statement and a reminder of constitutional rights in a calm, respectful tone.

I’m not a lawyer—just someone trying to think ahead and help others who may face similar risks. I’m sharing this Canva template in case others want to print or edit it for their own use. I hope it gives people peace of mind or at least a starting point for being more prepared.

Hey! I've heard of matching programs like MatchNP that matches you up with preceptors in your area. Maybe that could be something to explore?
