#HOMELESS

we need to stop equating intelligence with financial gain

'you're so smart but youre too lazy to apply yourself.' 'you have to be stupid to end up homeless.'

NO!

i'm not making bad decisions, and i'm not lazy. i'm doing the best thing for myself and it's fucking hard! i'm making these 'bad' decisions because i'm too smart to let this terrible system i've been born into take advantage of me.

the smart thing when you're being abused, exploited, overworked, and demoralized all the time is to leave the situation. but that isn't an option for a poor person like me, so my attempts to stay away from the things that cause me suffering are seen as laziness.

the one thing that's always been the silver lining in all my years being homeless is the freedom.

freedom is the real american dream

freedom is what was promised to me if i applied myself and worked hard and carved a space for myself in society. but i tried that, and it didn't happen! i found myself in situations more comparable to prison or slavery, and when i spoke up about it i was considered crazy or sensitive. i was unable to keep jobs because it was too psychologically damaging, and not worth the money at all. every day life was triggering trauma responses and draining me physically, emotionally, and spiritually. i saw this happening to the people around me too, who all seemed to accept that there wasn't an alternative, or who put themselves into fantasies of getting rich one day.

i'm not saying homelessness is any easier. it's isolating, and it's difficult, and it's painful, and it's scary. i'm also not saying i'm super smart because i ended up homeless. but, by being true to my values, this is the life i always settle into. and you can't deny the freedom it brings me.

maybe this is all just copium, but my gut instincts have always drawn me in this direction even when consciously i felt like a failure. the more i piece things together, the more i realize this is more or less where i'm supposed to be, and once i start getting a government check i'll finally have some peace and rest in my life.

so yeah. i'm not lazy, i'm not stupid, and neither is any other homeless or impoverished person whether they chose their lifestyle or not.

im begging for help at this point.. my name is snow. i am autistic and disabled. i have been in the shelter since july 2024. before being in the shelter i have moved from place to place. my mother couldn't help as much since her place is pretty small, and she takes care of my little sister. my grandmother can't help either, due to being disabled herself, and living & staying with the person who had done things to me as a child. she doesn't believe my trauma so she chose him over me. things have gotten pretty difficult since i came into the shelter, as i no longer can work due to being both mentally and physically disabled, so paying this debt off for both banks has been a struggle. yes, i said BOTH. discover AND bank of america. i barely eat or drink so i sleep all day to avoid spending my food stamps. i barely make it passed the 15 of every month. i have had jobs in the past, and all have just got rid of me or fired me due to constant physical illnesses. this shelter does not help with laundry needs, feminine products or soap; so the cash i get every month goes to that rather then food or drinks, and even paying my cards off. the food here is never properly cooked, and the milk we get is always expired before it's time. anything helps. please. i even have a paypal which can be sent money. anything helps such as money for food and drinks.

Fuck hostile architecture, I want unhostile architecture. I want benches to be designed to be as easy as possible to sleep on. I want little places for pigeons to nest to be purposefully put on buildings. I want people designing public spaces to think about what they'd be like to skateboard on. I want "Please loiter" signs. I want people to be kind. I want...

homeless disabled trans person needs help affording more nights in hotel while government housing program keeps delaying my move in-date

3/11/2024: hello, my name is equinox. i am a homeless severely disabled trans person who is living in a hotel. i have been working with this apartment complex since october, working through a program for low-income severely disabled people who will provide me a rent figure based off of my earned income. because i sell jewelry and accept donations online, they are extremely confused as to how much income i make and have been stalling and delaying the process this entire time.

i was promised a move-in date of Tuesday, 2/27/2024, then 2/29/2024, only to have it pushed back yet again. i already set up the electricity in my name as they requested it of me on the 27th. it is march 11th, and i have no idea of when i will be approved, now.

today, i received this email:

i have given them this information several times over the past few months. i have explained that venmo does not generate statements, and that gofundme does not hold a balance. now i've had to explain that stripe also does not hold a balance, and that tumblr is not a payment gateway.

i have been in a hotel for over a month because of this. i have had to explain this information over and over again and have made no headway. i broke down crying this morning because this has been psychological torture. my hotel room is only $38/night. i have tonight booked, but will need help saving up for future nights, as well as the deposit and if i'm ever accepted at this place:

pay pal: glittergraphicnightmare@ gmail . com venmo: @ equinoxian cash app: $glitterGraphix chime: $Equinoxian

you can also support me here, i sell jewelry as well as zines on my ko-fi:

My friend, Shorty, is in desperate need for help

He is unable to get medication, and medical attention that he desperately needs. He has nowhere to go, nowhere to refrigerate his insulin. His legs are swollen and blistered with open sores from untreated infection and Lymphedema. He is a cancer survivor and this is how he is treated. This is no second chance at life.

Anything at all helps, even a dollar.

Thank you so much, for Shorty

Hough I've been putting this off for awhile cause I haven't wanted to accept the reality of it but. Yeah. Gotta do it eventually

So like. I'm boutta be homeless! :'D

I've got some peeps who are getting me hooked up with a ride to a homeless shelter

Long story but I kinda gotta. Move states in and be homeless there instead, cause like. I don't have a support network for myself where I am, I don't have any connections with anyone to helo me out. But I will where I'm going. Nobody's gonna take me in, but I'd have people who can help me out when I need it. Which is better than like. Having nothing at all.

So it'd be rightfully stupid of me to not take that opportunity yea?

Problem is err, I'm still gonna be homeless, obviously. So I kinda need money

For like. Anything

Food, clothes, hygiene supplies, transportation, what have you. Unlike the other times I've regrettably had to make a post, this time around there's not going to be any sorta set goal for how much I need.

I just need like, money, in general. Seriously though, please help me out besties.

It’s maddening how often the phrase “cartoonishly evil” runs through my brain when I read things like this. Fuck 12.

just got kicked out of the best panhandling spot i've ever had by the mcdonalds management due to a customer complaint. all i got today so far is one dollar.

a dozen people are kind and generous to me every day, and it takes just one asshole to ruin the whole thing.

i'm so tired of moving around and avoiding the wave of stigma and hatred against homeless people. i'm just trying to survive out here, man. cops and other homeless people drove me out of the previous spot, and now i don't know where i'm gonna go.

i'm gonna have to spend the day driving around and finding a new spot to sleep and get my cash, but first i need some gas. the prices went up 10 cents recently too.

i'm sorry to ask again, but if you want to support me through this and are able to, please consider donating to my ko-fi. i would greatly appreciate it as it's all i have for today and until i find another option.

#im LIVID bro #so tired of this happening over and over again #the good news is i talked to the guy at ssa about the next step for my disability determination #so if all goes well i should have an answer within a couple months #but a couple months is a long time when im getting kicked out of places constantly #homeless #homelessness #aid #boost

If housing were free so many people would never be seen as bad people for having mental illness/disabilities "hotheads" "lazy" "people who stink" "messy" would never be a problem nobody would ever be able to say "no couples, no pets, no smoking" and it would only cost landlords their passive incomes

#you banked on exploiting prols for passive income #solely because you own property to capitalize on an artificially scarce “market” of housing #homeless
