If every one of my 3000+ followers could give Désirée $2, she'd exceed her goal for getting safe housing. I know that everyone won't see this, but if you do see it and have $5 or a bit more to spare, please consider it. gofund.me/cfd069ce3

The thing about persistent poverty and the long-term effects of homelessness is that it sets into motion a powerful cascade of events that make a person more and more vulnerable to people with whom they would have otherwise never interfaced. (18 oct 2024)

to wit: there are no safe, C19-competent, available shelter beds. shelters are dangerous for myriad reasons, if there’s even a bed available (there are none).

unhoused people don’t fear there is nowhere to go. they KNOW there is nowhere to go: no safe shelters, no social safety net. being poor, homeless, disabled, medically vulnerable are all increasingly becoming criminalized and structurally treated as disposable, not human, “not our problem”

imagine being treated like you cannot make demands, like you must perform incompetence and “deserving poor” in order to access soul-crushing “charity” that is often expired food, uninhabitable living conditions, other people’s savior complexes.

“Any system in which you are completely dependent on the actions, kindness, and compassion of ONE individual person in order to be treated with dignity is not a good fucking system.” —stef, AT stefkaufman, 22 dec 2024

i am stuck in a domestic violence situation until & unless i can fundraise to get somewhere safer & secure a mailing address. my survival depends on fundraising enough to get out of here with my ESA dog. please help a queer disabled woman of color get to safety. V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree

last night / this morning i sat in a garage and called a DV hotline. it was after 1a. it is terrifying to call a hotline, do an intake, and be told there are no shelter beds available, especially with an ESA dog. i do not feel safe going to a shelter. there are no beds.

this morning my elderly dog got diarrhea because yesterday the person causing me harm put cat food on the floor directly in front of my dog. this same person put a box of raw onions on the kitchen floor. onions are toxic to dogs. we are not safe here. i record for my safety.

next month marks 1 year since a friend created this emergency fundraiser for me. since then, it’s been 51% funded. my boxes still remain in Korea due to lack of funds. i am stuck in an unsafe couch stay. please help us meet our goal before a year passes. gofund.me/c28bc2b1b

i am being threatened with physical violence. tonight someone threw my food all over the floor. i am not safe here. i have nowhere else to go and no way to get there. i desperately need help. this is my SOS. if something happens to me, it was not my own doing. help. gofund.me/15d5a4298

"Care is complicated, gendered, misused. ... I want acts and accounts of care as shared and distributed risk, as mass refusals of the unbearable life, as total rejections of the dead future." —Christina Sharpe, "Ordinary Notes" @hystericalblkns.bsky.social

tonight i created my graduate school online application portal account!

shelters are full. even if they weren’t, none allow a single woman with an ESA dog companion. shelters are unsafe and do not care about C19 competence. help us stay together. these are dangerous times and we need all the mutual aid we can find. V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree gofund.me/ed03c3f8

“It's been 20 years since then, but the worst part was the feeling of nowhereness. You don't belong anywhere. I remember when I finally got a room rented and laid down in a bed that was mine to lie down in it was better than eating when you were starving.”

Weaponized gratitude is a key tool in the abuser's toolkit. The goal is to convince the victim that they owe the abuser so much, they should feel guilty for wanting to complain.

observe how people act when they think nobody is watching.

it is so profoundly lonely and isolating to be homeless.

Donate to them. Also FOLLOW them, they should have 10x as many followers as they do. Boost their posts. Help them out. Please. 💕💸 #HelpSky #MutualAid #MutualAidBoost

My friend is in a bad situation. I genuinely fear for her physical safety. She’s going to need community support and care to get through this, so please help out.

when you're poor and homeless, people expect you to act subservient, grateful, beneath them, and obsequious. i am not a good actor.

👀 Oh look. The whole ass truth.

job-hunting: 1) find job in June 2) apply for job in June 3) hear update from company in July 4) get rejection email / informed someone was hired in September 3 months to hear back. rinse, repeat.

my heart aches because i know this deep sorrow, betrayal, the exhaustion beyond words. housing is healthcare. people are thrown into a gauntlet of no workable options and told they are “lazy” and “chose to be homeless”. at the end of the day, ppl refuse to be uncomfortable and give up power

earlier today, before the attack

I am a disabled, queer, first gen immigrant woman of color with no family and an ESA dog companion. I have the right to safety and respect even if homeless and I am experiencing abuse, racism, and physical violence here.

If you can help me fundraise to get out of here, please share my fundraiser. I am genuinely scared for my physical safety. gofund.me/c3a9fc00e V SNDesiree C $SNDesiree

I need help getting out of here. I am trapped, nowhere to go, and desperately want to leave. I am being threatened with physical violence, my food was thrown on the floor, I am controlled about where and when I can go and it is really, really unsafe. I need help. I really need help.
