Encountering the phrase “I’ll take a strap to you, that’s what!” at work is crazy

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

 sunscreen

 a travel alarm clock or watch

 mylar emergency blanket

 a backpack is a must

 downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

 sleeping bag

 travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

 swiss army knife

 can opener

“Of course, the association between divas and queers is hardly new. One of the most common stereotypes of the gay male is the opera queen, the diva worshiper, and one of the most circulated anecdotes of opera history is the young woman so madly infatuated with the diva Mary Garden that after Garden’s secretary refused her access to the diva’s dressing room, she shot herself in the head; she was found clutching to her breast a photograph of the great singer. Such “mad infatuation” – the phrase used by the young woman’s mother – characterizes (less violently and less tragically, one hopes) the lesbian diva fan and the opera fan as well. Both madness and infatuation (at least when the object of such infatuation is beyond reach) are, of course, unacceptable conditions in the civilized adult; combined with queerness they’re unbearable. And thus are born academic studies like this one, the unacceptable passions from which they spring discreetly cloaked in measured cadences, the cloaks discreetly closeted by careful footnotes, fetishes of the repressed.”

ive said this before but being a leftist gun nut doesnt make me feel safer around you than conservative gun nuts. cuz at the end of the day youre still harboring the same fantasy of Getting To Use Your Gun that is the self fulfilling prophecy of gun related accidents.

"I would kill for you. I would die for you" would you take a break for me? Would you sit down and rest? For a day, a week, a year? Would you let others take care of your needs for me? Would you let yourself be held for me? By me?

Femme as in comfort. Femme as in brushing your hair for you when you get ready for work. Femme as in protection in ways no one else could. Femme as in soft laughter shared over late night tea. Femme as in holding your hand while we cross the street. Femme as in wiping your tears away. Femme as in rubbing your back after a long day. Femme as in tenderness. Femme as in love.
