    I just tried to get into a DV shelter and was told the local ones are all full and I don’t even meet their criteria. Rough enough situation to make me make a phone call, and to a place like that, and still they’re all full of people who’ve got it worse.

    One of those places has over ninety rooms. How’re they full? Q’s right, that’s how. 😖

        Thanks for offering! It’s an awkward, stressful mess of a situation :-\ Maybe, though! I’ve typed up tons of stuff (stress reaction, sorry >.<; ) here and in linked places: https://pawb.social/post/8222904

        Super very shortified version: Not-young, trans, ND, many problems, stuck with bioparents in Oklahoma for reasons. Said “no” one time and they became threatening and scary. Called cops on me, even. Would likely have gotten physical if I hadn’t locked my door. Attempting an escape to Minneapolis on probably-Friday. Anywhere to stay here (to plan the move more sensibly) or there (to start to build a life) is very needed, but I don’t know anyone anywhere and I just don’t have time for anything without fighting them over their BS idea of eviction process, which might get me hurt or dumped in the river.

          I remember reading that post recently. What a nightmare to deal with. Do you have a GoFundMe setup for your expenses? I’m nowhere near Oklahoma, but I could contribute a bit of cash.

            I don’t; I’m hoping I can get by with what I have, though… refusing assistance seems like a bad idea so maybe I should make one just in case 🤷 On the other paw, seems like stress and effort to set that up and I hate taking things from people and I’m already struggling to get anything done, and that’s all shakily sat atop the fact that I’ve got just no time to do anything with. Could post my PayPal address thing over there, I guess? Idunno if that’s a sensible thing to do. Hate to ask. Hate all of this. Ugh 😮‍💨

            Thanks muchly for offering, though! Maybe I’m not totally doomed. Probably am, but who knows 🤷 Sometimes life almost seems possible.

    And he is much, much better…

    The Q shouldn’t be allowed to leave their home world. Change my mind.

    Humans CAN be savage and cruel. Humans CAN also create beauty in their collective works. I believe the human race, weighed as a measure of everyone’s contribution, could do better, but we’re doing pretty good for a feeble childish race.

    Nah.

    Humanity in general is too kind to kill its vicious leaders, which represent a minority, greedy psychopaths the lot of them, not representative of the wider population.

    The paradox of tolerance and all that.
