Little bit of a rant but I've just kind of lost all hope on ever having a baby. My bf and I used to talk about having one in the future but the more I hear about women dying and being punished as a result of roe v wade being overturned, the less I want to have one. Like if I end up having a complication where I NEED an abortion are they going to let me die? Sure there's the exception of the mother's life but we've already seen cases of women in other red states dying regardless of this. Will I be punished for having a miscarriage? It's just so... frustrating I guess. I feel like the only way I could have a baby is by moving to a blue state but all my family lives here and I don't think I can bring myself to leave them. Ugh

I would really love to start building a community with my fellow sane minded Alabamians but it's been extremely difficult. I'm located in Wetumpka which is very close to montgomery but I can't find any local facebook groups or much of anything else. I know about the facebook but I'm so far away from Florence Alabama so I feel a little stuck.

Crazy Alabama weather is here!

Just a thread for everyone to discuss weather plans, conditions, and resources. If you know of a list of local shelters for your area, please post it below. For those hunkering down, always let somebody know where you are in case someone has to look for you.

Charge your phone, turn off do not disturb and turn on emergency weather alerts. Make sure to have some bottled water. Towels, blankets, flashlights, candles. I personally like to keep my socks, shoes, and coat by the door to be ready. Pack a go bag if you plan to relocate to a safer spot. Don’t forget to plan for your pets as well. Do not be on the road if you can avoid it.

Check on your family, friends, and old folks today. A good reason to give somebody a call to catch up and let them know you care. Stay safe everybody and let’s hope we can all get through this thing with minimal damage.

I feel like been seeing a lot of activity from people in other parts of the state especially North and not so much from my area (Tuscaloosa and neighboring counties)

This is a YouTuber who makes very insightful and scientifically based explanation videos of modern technology. I recommend all his videos but especially this one. I would love to hear any thoughts y’all might have on this and how this is effecting our political environment right now.

I saw on BlueSky that there is supposed to be a protest today for immigrant rights, but I've mainly seen the protest for the 17th being planned.

Is this one still happening?
