Most important: Spend the money you have on a motel. Churches probably will not actually help and shelters can be dangerous or turn you away. At a motel you have free breakfast, access to running water, and a lockable place to sleep. Do not waste money on a gym membership like the popular version of this post says to do, YMCA memberships are like $40.
2. Contact family and friends. Now is not the time to worry about being a burden. Your survival and safety comes first and that is all that matters, anyone worth having in your life will agree.
3. Start a gofundme. Even if someone can’t offer you a place to stay, they might be willing to toss out $5 so you can eat today.
4. Libraries have free wifi. Apply to any and all jobs you can think of if you aren’t already working.
5. Any home is a good home. Even if it’s a dingy apartment in a bad neighborhood. If its cheap and you can afford it, snatch it up.
6. Pancake mix and peanut butter are filling, cheap, and last a long time.
PLEASE SHARE THE FUCK OUT OF THIS

This is the only time I’m ever going to depend on others for money like this. As we all know, I sell lewds on patreon but my business with it isn’t doing too well. Because of that, I haven’t been able to save up in time to get ANYTHING for my daughters first birthday. I need a total of $80 to get the cake and decorations shipped to me before May 5th (her birthday) so if you could donate a few dollars or reblog this to help I would REALLY appreciate it. Please reblog this or tag people 😭 I’m going to be selling photos on my patreon to earn as much as possible but I don’t think I’ll get enough in time for her birthday.

if you’re white and are protesting, please, please listen to this. if you’re white and have white friends protesting, let them know
this all blows in the face of Black and brown people protesting
i should've kept it all to myself. it's pointless to tell your family and your close friends about your mental illness because in the end, either they all gonna use it against you or make fun of it, making it invalidated.
[...] I’m so pathetically intense. I just can’t be any other way.

if anyone significantly older than you approaches you on the internet or in real life in a romantic or sexual way, do. not. communicate with them. the second it becomes anything other than respectful or friendly in any way or if they make you even slightly uncomfortable, block. them. cut them out of your life. they are not worth it and they will hurt you. run. protect yourself. and be safe.
