The flag at my apartment complex has been at half staff since Friday

8. I lived in St Joseph from 1988-94

So I feel for you.

I used to get mail from Bible thumping man splainers because I wrote letters to the editor taking a pro choice point of view.

We moved to Lincoln, NE in 1994. It was worse! A city councilman--who was Catholic --was threatened with excommunication for daring to suggest that his own personal position should not influence voting to allow others to exercise their own right to choose.

There are a lot of people in this country hell bent on hating women having choices. Or hell bent on denying equal rights to people of color, immigrants or LGBTQ. Just try to stay away from as many as you can. Even if you move to a blue city, there will still be property owners able to exercise their right to prominently display their hatred. You can't get away from it entirely. Find something you can do to help someone else. It will make you feel better.
