DEVELOPMENTS, DISAPPOINTMENT, AND DEBT

sigh
Yes, I’m still homeless, living in a hotel.
Yes, I’m still unable to work a public job or find a stable online one.
Yes, Twitter is still being a pain in the neck.
But there have been some changes, and sadly, none of them good.
First off, the hotel is raising prices, from $600 to $640 a week, with the expectation that as it heads into an even more tourist-prone season, it will rise further. (June rate: $740! Will find out July rate soon.) I’ve ALREADY been struggling to raise $600 a week, coming in at the literal last minute for the last two weeks.
And to add injury to insulted injury, my old land-hoarders are charging me for the move-out. I owe them $1200, and they have “graciously” given me a year to pay it back.
I need storage and phone bills paid as well- a total of $200 a month. I HAVE food- that’s one thing I’ve gotten out of the state for my issues. I can afford whatever food I need, but that is ALL.
So this means my total monthly expenses are now:
$2560 in a 4-week month, $3200 in a 5-week month for hotel
$300/month for phone, storage, land-jerks
Probably around $50/month for hygiene needs
So the highest monthly cost is $3550- which is quite a bit more than I made even when I worked. And this is just to SUSTAIN me, not to find a permanent place, use a moving truck, etc.
I’d really love a lead on somewhere to live in the Pacific Northwest- I’d hate to move somewhere hotter, I do NOT handle heat well. I’d need to room with people who are:
COVID-cautious to the MAX- no frivolous outings, ALWAYS wearing masks in public.
Respectful and welcoming towards queers, vegetarians, and disabled/neurodivergent folks.
Able to take on a boarder who can feed himself but can’t guarantee rent. I would STRIVE to pay, but the amount I could manage might fluctuate.
I need a lot of help right now. First of all, I need MONEY. I hate how reliant society is on it- how you can’t even survive without LOADS of it. I was struggling to make do even when employed and with roommates. I have ALWAYS struggled in public workplaces, both physically and emotionally. Any job I’d take would have to give me so many accommodations that unless the boss was disability-FOCUSED, the job wouldn’t accept them.
To get money, I need to keep up EXPOSURE online. It’s getting harder and harder to spread my fund requests on Twitter, as the site becomes more restrictive against unpaid users. Sales on my merch have been slow the whole time and they barely raise anything. It’s been quite a while since I’ve gained any new patrons on Patreon. I’m trying to keep producing quality art and interactions, but it’s becoming more difficult to keep my ENERGY for it when so much of my concerns are wrapped up with crowdfunding.
I am also in need of LEADS- for solid, secure, and privacy-focused jobs online, and for roommates. I have so many limitations when it comes to online work- I can’t do audio/video conferences, can’t use the phone for work, and would need to operate under my true name, not my deadname.
I also wouldn’t be able to work for a company with evil ethics- scammers, pushy sales, or companies that exploit manual workers or the planet. My own code of ethics is so tight that trying to step outside of it makes me literally sick- queasy, anxious, dizzy.
I feel like I’m just shouting into a void here most of the time. A few likes here and there won’t salvage my situation. I want to survive but am having the hardest time of my life.
I’m scared as hell. I can NOT eat when I don’t have air privacy and safety. Same with sleep or bathing. I MUST stay masked in public and around anyone else who DOESN’T mask. So I need to live with EXTREMELY fervent maskers.
They exist. But it’s so hard to find ones who can take on a roommate who can’t guarantee rent. It’s hard to find ANYONE who can take them on.
(I asked the person who raised me- I’ve now started calling him my damncestor because he pulled the “get a job” line on me and refused to help even though he has plenty of space in a home he owns. I WAS going to get resources out of my cousin when my damncestor dies and my cousin gets the house. They both decided to be dicks about it. Damn them. I was BORN DISABLED ffs.)
So I really don’t know what to do or how to go forward from here. I’m trying to keep plugging on, but…
Well, I’m running out of time.
