Please help a brazilian trans man get away from their abusive household (04/02/24)

Hello, my name is Miguel, I’m a non binary brazilian transmasc guy and i suffer from bipolarity mood disorder and hidradenitis suppurativa (chronic pain condition, DO NOT google if squeamish). I am medicated for those and can lead a semi-normal life.

I am living with my parents and my borderline/histrionic sister. She is now under the care of my parents, but she’s abusive and refuses to take her meds. She frequently abuses me verbally and physically, my father literally has to restrain her using force just for her to not beat me up. She’s dangerous, not only to herself but to others too. I need money to gtfo as soon as humanly possible, go to a hostel or a RoomGo until I can get my bearings again. I’m scared of her.

I’ve also taken a loan at the bank to buy a drawing tablet thinking it would pay for itself but things didn’t exactly go to plan. Now I’m stuck in debt.

I’m desperate and tbh traumatized about events that occurred a few months ago and also now, but I have to get through it because I honestly, sincerely need help.

This is a screenshot of my bank account. 0.74 reais is the equivalent of USD 0.15.

This is my (blocked by lack of payment) credit card. 838.24 reais is the equivalent of USD 163.77 (and I have to make two payments of this value, last month's and this month's, to unblock my card).

Every single cent is going for my debt payment on both the bank and the cellphone company, and for me to get the HELL OUT OF THIS HOUSE. I feel very unsafe.

Coffee: astrayan

Vmo/cshApp: not available in Brazil unfortunately :(

I am aiming for getting rid of my debt for LAST MONTH + rough estimate cost of living in another area so I’m asking for $300. That is a rough estimative of how much will it take for me to escape this situation.

Thank you for reading this far, please do help if you can ❤️

Although located in the heart of Chongging, one of China's mega cities, Luohan Temple was constructed over 1000 years ago. Its ancient corridors lead to worn stone depictions of the Buddha while its wooden halls wafts with incense and are adorned with hundreds of local colourful deities.

a lot of the coverage of the Palestinian genocide is focusing on the US student protests and the narrative is constantly in danger of shifting away from what the protests are actually about and a lot of the language is now speaking in terms of police brutality, silencing of free speech, etc. It's not a radical thing to say that this isn't exactly helpful to the Palestinian cause if the actual reasons for the protests aren't constantly front and center. A lot of people have already made this point. I do not think the genie can necessarily be put back in the bottle with how the protests and the police reaction to them are entering the public consciousness of the USian people. A lot of people are or will become aware of these protests through the lense of these simply being instances of police brutality, and police brutality is a critical issue that many USamericans are very passionate about thus making it difficult to reframe the context of these images of police slamming white professors into pavement towards awareness of Israels decades long illegal occupation and systematic and indiscriminate displacement and murder of Palestinians. What I feel needs to be done is try to reframe these images flooding the internet not *away* from issues of police brutality and homesoil fascism, but in the wider context of imperialist governments taking the lessons they learn oppressing "foreign peoples" and turning them inwards. That police brutality is not disconnected from imperialist mass murder. That the one thing connecting the assaulted USian protester and the trans israeli denied gender affirming care for refusing to serve in the fascist Israeli military and the Palestinian child buried alive for the crime of being Palestinian... the one thing connecting them is that, sooner or later, they are all victims of power. Our rights are granted to us inequitably, unevenly, and are just as quickly stripped away when we do not serve the interests of fascist power. We are either a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian, not the innocent or the guilty but the human being Palestinian, is murdered because she can not be useful to the state while she is still breathing. She can never have the "privilege" of being a tool. I'll say it again: We outside of Palestine who can go to protests, who have families, who are able bodied, who can work, who can keep their head down or speak without immediate retaliation have the "honor" of choosing to be a tool of the state or an enemy of the state. The Palestinian has no choice.

There will always be an armed cop ready to arrest you and kill your brother as long as there is a bomb ready to drop on the heads of Palestinian children. Fascism trickles up and inward.

A Milestone~

I've certainly made some enemies over the years, as I age I imagine I will continue to make more... Everybody is the villain in somebody's story, and that's just a fact I need to get used to.

I think since about 2016 my outlook on life has just continued to get bleaker. Trauma, rejection, heartbreak, loss, and just about every other negative thing under the sun is bound to do that over time. Yet some part of me still believes that there's plenty of hope out there for a better world for all of us, and I often find myself debating whether that's just optimism or nativity...

I've been contacted twice recently by an ex who dumped me a little over 6 years ago. Once about 2 years ago, and again just the other day. I mentioned this because, whether I like it or not, we both seem to be villains in each other's stories.

On the one hand, this blows immensely. Because the reasons why each of us is a villain seem to be rather unclear or vague to the both of us. Chalk that up to the neurospiciness if you want, I don't really know or care.

On the other hand, I know that I've always hated who we both become when we're around each other. He likes to view that as me pointing the blame at him, I simply view it as a poor mix of chemicals. I don't give two shits who you are, chocolate ice cream and lobster don't mix.

As per usual with me, and since this encounter, I have struggled a fair bit with not reading too much into the things he said. But honestly, after a lengthy discussion with my therapy group, I've come to the conclusion that I do not deserve to berate myself for how I handled that situation. I did the best I could with what I had at the time, being blindsided by your ex isn't exactly going to be a cakewalk for anyone, and I really don't need or want his forgiveness or approval to move forward.

We both did some not great shit while we were together, a large chunk I know neither of us remember clearly, but I am working hard everyday to keep myself out of whatever dark place I was in while I was with him. I can't say the same, or rather anything, for his situation, but it doesn't matter.

I'm not in contact with him anymore, neither is anybody I associate with, and I am improving everyday. To hell with whatever he or anyone else thinks, I'm proud of me and that's all I need.

I feel like I've overcome a hurdle and I hope I can continue to find the strength to make progress for myself~
