Help me, Obi-Web!
Everyone who lives in Washington state, I have a question for you:
Do you know of any colleges or universities that are close-knit? Community oriented? Small, liberal arts colleges are often good for this.
See, my spouse and I both work at a college we like a lot. Alas, that college is in Ohio, which is not currently a very nice place to be thanks to the new governor. *shakes her fist at the people who voted for the asshole* I mean, seriously, can we borrow Wisconsin's judge, please? We need one down here too. And, honestly, Georgia is freaking me out, right now, and the federal government seems to have largely gone batshit insane, and, let's be straight up about this, if everything goes to hell (or to The Handmaid's Tale, which is seeming alarmingly less ridiculous by the month) I want to be living somewhere my fellow citizens will be at least a little less likely to outlaw my love, sexuality, life choices, and religion.
Besides, what better place to be, when the real oil crisis finally hits, than someplace with abundant hydropower? And, at least, awareness and the start of planning for the approaching time when it will be less abundant.
So! Cascadia ho! In, you know, two or three years when we're out from under the damn mortgage insurance.
And this means finding new jobs, and that means colleges that have what we really value: a close community among the faculty and staff (and at least some of the administration).
Any suggestions?
