Something is rotten in the state of <capitalism>. I quit begging. I will either figure it out or not, and I’m not saying you should, just that the exhaustion is real. Is there any sort of mutual aid or even faith funded you might access?
I work IWW as of recently, used to do more WFP. Had a red card for years and been working with them for a while. I switched over to Working Families for a bit because they had some more direct action (feedings/mutual aid, donation/charity runs) but ended up switching back over to IWW when I got my new job as I had to start being able to afford food instead of garbage-pickin. Other than those two, there isn’t quite any other leftist organizations where I live. Some anarchist cells which some are cool some are not.
I did work for a church for years though doing some really easy, nice-paying part-time work. Then they ended up going belly-up because priests love children. Might end up doing another one before Christmas (mutual aid).
I think my original point was more so having people you knew really closely, either it be friends or family, suddenly stripping down to an uber-hitler. It’s fucking insane how remigration is actually becoming something people are talking about.
I hear you. There isn’t even a phone number for CPUSA or DSA in my area, anymore. The churches do what they can, but there are only two grocery stores donating in my whole county, because that’s all there are! Rural life has it’s ups and downs, lol.
because priests love children.
Go figure.
I got your original point, but physical needs are still real. As far as soul fam, i’m looking too. I don’t know how far I can go within my current means, but I’m thinking nearer an arts district may be beneficial. The cost of living seems to be directly proportional to proximity, but I think it’s a matter of finding time and travel arrangements to seek out frbos.

I lived near two for a while, depending on how old you are it can be isolating or you can meet a lot of new people. I met my current partner near one. The cost of living is high though, which is why I eventually moved away. As for my physical needs, I do have a close-knit group of friends and my partner, but I have a lot of things I miss doing when I had a bit more disposable income. I can’t wait to get back my old acoustic that I had to leave behind for a while, a beautiful rosewood guitar I named Rosa. As for other needs, I make do with what I got and what I can grow/make with my own hands.
Travel is expensive though. So many things in this country could be cheaper.
I’m glad you have close friends and family that are reliable, hopefully you and your beloved Rosa will be reunited soon.
Yes, COL near arts districts are wild, but I already started looking online, anyway.
I dream of both a future and a brighter one, with fully funded, clean and safe rail, health, education, clean and safe housing, decent work for anyone who wants it without sacrificing body and mind, children who can truly play carefree.

All I needed these years, after all.
decent work for anyone who wants it without sacrificing body and mind
I’m reminded of someone posting “who will clean the toilets under communism”. Fuckin’ me. I’ll gladly clean toilets, clean floors, clean buildings and maintain them. I can get paid a living wage and have somewhere to live by just doing that? Holy fuck! A trade I actually enjoy and love that I can get paid decently for?
Everyone here gets it. When others hear that they’re just like “join the military and kill some kids.”

It’s sick and it’s sad. I’m with you! ✊❤️
