    Do you notice anyone leaving because of the laws Texas has? I can’t imagine anyone with daughters staying unless they’re crazy too.

      Lots of them definitely are. I’m noticed a lot more Texan transplants up in WA over the last few years than in the last 3 decades I’ve lived here.

      Yes. One of my closest friends - an engineer with a Masters degree - had a very nice job offer but she turned it down because of the basic lack of women’s reproductive health services.

      She’s smart and capable and has the degrees - one from the Air Force Academy - to say fuck no. I respect her a lot, and I’m ashamed to still be here tbh

        It’s hard to change locations, that’s what they’re betting on. Please vote if you stay to keep it as far blue as you can.
