  • Yes, my husband was on the suspended list in our county for years, despite us owning the same home since 2013. He’d even fill out the little address verification card and send it back, stating that the location on record was still valid. Didnt matter, because every single election he would still pop up “suspended” at the polls. He had his TDL, and he’d have to fill out an extra form, but he’d be allowed to vote.

    This year, I decided enough was enough and we put our house up for sale, because once I leave Texas this time, I’m not coming back.

    I contacted our county registrars office to get our VUIDs so I could update our new address at our rental, and we found out he just…didnt have a VUID? They had no record of him voting in Texas at all…yet he’s been able to vote with a “suspended” status with his TDL for years now…living at an address he hasnt deviated from since he originally registered in Texas.

    Honestly, I think he was just finally removed since he’d been in “suspended” so long 🤷‍♀️. Im unsure if it was a legit mistake, or if some genuine fuckery was going on.

    But we’re all gucci now. Both confirmed registration again back in September. Awaiting 21 Oct with bated breath!



  • That makes me kinda sad actually, but the reality is, you could be right.

    It’s a pretty hard thing to wrestle with the idea of sobriety if someone can’t imagine living their life that way. I get it. I’m a partier at heart who always wants to be out and about with people socializing, and the bar is the easiest place to gather other adults.

    Hopefully if they are someone who wants to cut back, (and can do so safely), they take a peek in and see that it’s not meant to be judgey. If someone checks in for a day or two and not the next, no one is coming after anyone/shaming anyone/questioning anyone. Just come back the next time you don’t wanna drink. It’s that low threat and chill.

    I’m a verbose individual so I write novels, but most folks are legit just like “Not drinking today”, and leave it at that. Whatever works, right?


  • Meh, fuck the downvotes. Its an important daily post in an important community. I really enjoy the accountability it provides.

    But is not gonna be for everyone. Most people are normies who are good with never drinking or only have one or two every few weeks at best.

    Maybe they just want it off their homepage. Who knows?

    Edit: And I saw it suggested elsewhere it could just be a misclick, which is very possible. Either way, just keep on keepin’ on!
