I don't feel safe right now after this week, need help
a year ago
General
I'm not sure what the future holds right now, but I know that I'm scared. I already had to run once, I can't believe that I might have to do it again.
I'm currently in a blue state, i.e. Maryland, right now... But I don't know for how long things will be safe for me here. There's just so much evil & hatred directed towards our community right now, furry & LGBTQIA+, & it's only going to get worse as the days go by.
This week is going to be about grieving, recovering, re-centering, & connecting with my communities that I have online & IRL. This week is about self-care & giving myself room to think & breathe.
After that, I'll need to knuckle down & do the work that it'll take to flee for safety... Again.
I'm between jobs right now, so I don't have any real income at the moment, besides what little that I do make as a vtuber. If anyone wants to help support my war chest for eventually jumping this sinking ship, I'll link my Ko-Fi & Twitch below.
Please, be kind to one another. Lean on one another. Support each other where you can. Protect those of us who are vulnerable. Fight for us.
- Lena.

We live, hon'. We live, we look out for one another, we support & shelter our friends & stand strong beside our community, we protect one another, we resist. They want us to be scared, they want us to lose hope, but we can't let them intimidate us.
