Woke up this morning to a stunning 68% with means 70% is almost done and dusted. Plus, it means that there’s only 32% left before I can secure my housing and possibly even reach my stretch goals, which would ensure I have secure housing through the end of 2026 while I apply for jobs and services!

I’m at a major crossroads: I have until 9/20 to fully secure my housing after an ongoing fight for unemployment and state support as a disabled person. And there’s a direct way that you can help have a tangible effect: you can help me keep my home.

I'm almost 40% the way to securing my housing, which means I'm also almost to the critical 50% point that will mean I can solidly pay a huge chunk of back rent, which will help me secure my housing and avoid insecurity. Please help me keep sharing so I can keep my accessible home!

Ending my day at 33% of my goal which means I’m getting closer to maintaining my housing. Keeping momentum would mean a lot especially since I’m on a very tight timeline, so please keep sharing and spreading the word to help me get through this incredibly difficult time!

Major update: I am almost certainly going to lose my housing by my birthday. I’ve received notice and even through my efforts it just…isn’t enough. I have about 17 days to find an actually workable solution and…I don’t think that’s going to happen. I think I just won’t have a home.

Dropping this so it’s all contained within one thread since now, more than ever, mutual aid can and will make the difference between me staying housed or not while I continue to push for security and safety nets through my state:

If…no, when. When I come through to the other side of this part of my life and get the stability I am with, hand to churu and meow mix, I’m going to get a cat. I’ve been holding off for so long and honestly, I think that a cat would really do a lot for me these days.

I just discovered @mangamart.com which looks like an awesome non-'zon place to shop for manga with decent prices! But the rampant use of genAI on their site gives me so much of an ick that I'm going to pass... Particularly egregious for a MANGA seller to do this

This is an immediate way that helps me protect myself as I continue to fight through an incredibly difficult situation. Being gifted things that help my disabilities means I get to divert my resources and whatever funds might come in to housing instead of having to spread things out:

Also, just before I go to bed: I do still have my disability wishlist and having items from it fulfilled that would really help me a lot right now so I can put money towards securing housing instead of toward new shoes, which I need but can’t necessarily afford right now:

I want to clarify for everyone who sees this: I’m mentally safe. Stressed but safe and not at risk of SI. This is a really serious situation and I am being pushed to a limit physically, but I’m safe and have resources and community for my mental health, frayed as it is right now.

I’m going to be very real: it is highly likely that I may become intermittently unhomed before my birthday next month. I’ve been applying and running around my city to seek services and support, but today, I hit a wall and found out that I’m not eligible for emergency support at all.
