I saw the fence wire and don’t get me wrong - that is fucked up in its own right, but from the image, it looks like that’s partially on land, so drowning shouldn’t be as much of a concern as if you’re in the middle of the river and can’t grab onto one of the buoys because of saw blades.

Please, don’t get me wrong - it’s fucked up. It’s all so very fucked up. But if the current is fast and someone needs to hold on to a buoy to avoid drowning but can’t because of a saw blade, that’s just…..a whole other level of fucked up.

And as a woman who lives in Texas, fuck Greg Abbott and the assholes who enable this and him and their “owning the libs” attitude and mentality that drives them to continue their continuous patterns of behavior that do nothing but hurt actual people who are very vulnerable.
