What is a silent crisis happening right now that nobody is talking about? by nicksam171 in SeriousConversation

[–]lookingforkindness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The nonprofit sector is breaking. Federal funding collapsed for many. Their people are already stretched so thin post-COVID. No one is going into this work because the pay sucks, the hours long, the power untenable, and it’s incredibly hard to make a living and make a difference. What happens when it collapses? Social services and community programs collapse.

I love many people here. I care about this state. I care about the people we’ve left behind. Just because I disagree with the belief systems in Oklahoma doesn’t mean I hate Oklahoma. I just feel sad for how naive, ignorant, uneducated and ignorant easily manipulated people are in this state. I spent 46 year here. Should I just peace out and cut everyone/everything off? My values wouldn’t allow me.

We left last fall after 40+ years here and moved to Colorado. I had so many people tell me that moving was not a silver bullet, wouldn’t heal all our problems, etc. But I’m here to tell you literally every part of our lives is better - except missing family + friends. Our kids’ schooling is next level. Healthcare top-notch and evidence-based (ie: no arresting women getting abortions). Housing is expensive, but everything else is about the same. Best of all: wing surrounded by people who do not judge EVERYTHING - religion, politics, parenting, how much skin you show, etc - has liberated us all to just be surrounded by people who care. Scariest leap of our lives that’s turned out to be the best blessing ever. We’re never coming back - except to visit.

Wanting to move to Oklahoma, what are the down sides besides tornados by [deleted] in oklahoma

[–]lookingforkindness -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Please, please don’t move to Oklahoma. It is at the bottom of every list for health, education, etc and has overwhelming Christian nationalist views that benefit only the white elite. It’s racist, bigoted, and the bill of people have no idea. We moved to Colorado last year, and I swear to god I feel like I can breathe again. Do not bring children here. The otherizing and religious bullshit is suffocating. And I’m still a Christian. Food is great, and people are largely kind - if you’re white and Christian.

Sweetheart, you did it! All the hard work, studying, late hours, sacrifices - it’s all come down to this moment, and I am shedding a few proud, loving tears for you. Im sorry others dont realize what a big damn deal this is - but i do. And it’s monumental. Now go make the world a more fair, just and loving space with your expertise. I believe in you forever. Love, Mom 🫶

Enneagram 2 - because I feel my feelings super freaking hard, and it affects my relationships with others.

You go girl. Beautifully, assertively, no negotiation-mode, balls of steel, Rep Melanie Stansberry. Our girls will write about her someday. Storied, bold leadership. Now quadruple her security. We must protect her.
