    Let others help you? Who? How?

    I have places to go if I abandon everything, misgender myself for a passport that I can’t really afford to pay for, and leave the country, but short of that? Nobody is standing up to offer me a job that can pay my rent. Nobody is offering me an affordable place to live. People offer sentiments, but that isn’t the same as stability or material resources. People offer to talk, but that’s not the same as the $20/hr remote job I need to find to keep my head above water.

    Where is this help?

    My current reality is trying to keep my mental health intact while a transphobic neighbor makes it hard to even do basic housework or just be at home in peace, all while scrambling to find a new job that actually pays enough for me to live that I can actually do between disability and time blindness. The people who do talk to me on a regular basis I try not to load down with how much bullshit I’m dealing with because the ones I do share it with start drifting away pretty damn quick

    But if y’all have some remote work or other form of sustainable income until I manage to finish the game I’m working on and try to build something real for myself, I’m about it.
