      temporarily

      Two years, extendable up to five, ain’t nothing.

      While you get fluent in another language.

      While you learn all about another culture.

      While you look for a job or figure out grad school or whatever your next steps are.

      Good thing fascists are always so nice to disabled people /s

      One of the women I served with was legally blind. Disability isn’t even a deal breaker.

        I appreciate the optimism and recognize that people going through shit need to hear that kind of thing, but the fact is that immigrating anywhere is way way tougher than it needs to be, and lots of people won’t be able to at all because they were born in the wrong country, or just don’t have the money or connections required.

        I’m not saying that anyone who’s trying to make the journey should give up, I’m saying that all of the rest of us should be demanding our rulers make this less of a struggle
