still in nebraska, had an awful time for the first month but am staying in a safer place now with a friend who's helped me for years. finished job training, have solid future independent business plans + housing plans with a cool dog person i've met since moving here. the grand scheme is to provide this city with science based, balanced dog training that is currently mainly unavailable to the general public. peoples' options are folks like me at big box stores who are not allowed to teach clients the full use of the 4 quadrants, or shitty old fashioned koehler method trainers who just shut dogs down. the market for ethical balanced training is totes open here, and i am excited to be a part of bringing it to this area. also gaining interest in the pet retail area, since retail is usually required for a successful training business if you don't also offer boarding or daycare. might get into board and train after june when i move in with dog trainer buddy if housemates all consent, as that is where the money is right now...

other than that mainly just trying to cope with all the bullshit i have had to experience since october of last year, have reached a point where i am starting to feel very nonfunctional again mainly because corporate job scheduled me way too many hours and lack of permanent residence/constant money worries have severely exacerbated my PTSD symptoms. back to where i was in october/november when i just cry all the time for no apparent reason, no real emotional regulation since bouncing around so many places and being so goddamn stressed since being here. and ofc i log on here for the first time in weeks just to see something else to be stressed about lmao but it's whatever, i put effort into not being a burden on others and it still is not good enough ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ i am interacting with people regularly now with whom i have much healthier relationships than i have had with previous people in my life, and who don't make me uncomfortable/aren't made uncomfortable by my mere presence i guess?

beyond that i have a bunch of art i owe people, have been way too stressed to work on art because it takes so much mental energy but i am hoping that maybe i can get back to a functional point again soon. getting back on hormones next month is good for morale. also searching for a malinois breeder, making local dog people connections (meeting local schutzhund club this weekend, i plan on joining to decoy), excited about future business prospect that is an extremely realistic and attainable goal considering the growth of the industry. my main goal rn is honestly just trying to not off myself or quit the corporate job before the other business starts up. no longer having to worry about being poked and prodded with unrealistic expectations is definitely helping. being able to take damn sleeping pills and smoke a bowl at a friend's house every so often is also very nice. also having actual irl friends to hang out with is awesome, holy shit. i have wanted to be social my entire life, and i finally have a chance to be. it feels great, i just wish i could enjoy or appreciate other peoples' company more. i feel like right now i am too fucked up in the head, too stressed out about existence.

have to travel out of city for job training twice a week for 4 weeks, costs me over $100 to travel each time and i only have $150 to my name right now, i don't get a paycheck for like another week and a half and i will absolutely not be able to afford to travel again. please help? can do icons for $20, or anything else, just throw an idea at me.

moved out of arkansas to nebraska. it's cold and snowy here. i'm probably about to work as a pet store dog trainer, would like to start my own training/pet service business when i am no longer indebted to them for my apprenticeship and also have a car. i also really need a dog at that point bc i... need an example of my training potential... which is hard to do without your own dog... so i'm in the beginning stages of scouting for a malinois.

get back on their feet please let me know. If you know anyone who might know please ask. I'm so desperate. I don't know what to do.

still homeless no job no money no backup plan

does anyone know of any resources at all for a homeless, jobless, very mentally ill trans guy in the south [arkansas]? the shelter i applied to 2 months ago finally called me in for an intake interview, but after reviewing the info i determined that is not an option bc they absolutely require residents to work a nearly 40 hour work week [i became suicidal and was hospitalized for 8 days because i couldnt mentally handle working 20-25] and apply to 5 jobs a day- again, i am mentally ill, the jobs i’m capable of doing are very limited and this city is very small with very few job opportunities.

i’ve been crashing on someone’s couch for a few weeks but i don’t know how much longer i can stay here and i have literally NOWHERE else to go. i’m freaking out really bad right now, i don’t know what to do at all anymore. this shelter was what i was waiting for, but it just won’t work. this city has no resources, nothing for me. i don’t know anyone, i don’t have any friends who will help me.

i just feel completely fucked at this point and i don’t know what to do. things are very bleak. it’s the middle of december and i’m afraid i’m gonna be living in the cold soon.

hello furaffinity people who don't also follow me on other platforms
i'm still homeless and jobless, i'm currently crashing on friend's couch temporarily but i still don't know where to go or what to do. i guess i'm still waiting to get into some kind of shelter. i've been surviving off dollars for the past couple of months and have a phone bill + medication to pay for within the next couple of days, so i'm still trying very hard to take commissions.

still open for icons, $15 right now while i tweak my style a bit.
i'm also open for flat coloured full body stuff (feral only please) for $30, willing to draw multiple characters or NSFW or whatever for extra.
if you're interested in anything else, please comment or PM me!

in the event that anyone feels like donating, it is greatly appreciated

i am taking any and all commissions right now to pay for toiletries and food and pretty much everything, i have $38 to my name after paying $400 for this room. so if you've ever wanted to commission me, right now would be greatly appreciated :D willing to draw porn, but i guess only feral bc i can't draw anthro lol. beggars can't be choosers i suppose.

i just got out of a psych ward after being in for 8 days and i am homeless currently, none of the shelters in the area can take me right now and im staying in a hotel, not sure how long i can afford to do that, probably only a few days. trying to figure something out.

and will be indefinitely. can do icons, full body, portraits, whatever you want. also willing to do NSFW, just hmu.
ask for a quote!

i don't like it.

who's up for some? work mondays, tuesdays, fridays, and sometimes weekends so i try to still do art on my two weekday days off when i can and trades seem to be the best way to do that.

note, i suck at anthro and it is honestly very discouraging for me to try and draw anthro, but i can try.

i will be asking anyone to draw my irl blue heeler roswell.

our hotel is confirmed, we're definitely going! excited to sell art, currently trying to figure out how to price prints.
who else will be there? anyone wanna hang? i also kinda wanna see the city a lil bit while i'm there.

destroy all nazis
pick a side

this month!

reminder that if anyone needs help going vegan, feel free to hmu. i can help with resources, meal plans, and am always up to discuss vegan philosophy. i am also very good at plant based dieting on a very low budget.

feel free 2 add me, i feel very isolated right now

we're thinking about going, it's a fairly short drive from us and i'm very interested in getting a spot in the artist's alley. disappointed that spots are by raffle, tho.

edit- registration purchased!

firstly, reminder that vegans consume a plant based diet, but veganism itself is not a diet. not all plant based dieters are vegan.

there is no privilege required to be vegan. veganism and plant based dieting do not dictate that you buy mock meat and cheese and expensive pre made and processed foods [not that there’s anything wrong with buying any pre made and processed food], or the most expensive organic hand picked [by migrant workers] produce. stop erasing poor vegans, those within the united states and the millions of poor people of colour who survive on a mainly plant based diet throughout the world- meat and dairy products are expensive. the only reason they’re so cheap here in the united states is because the meat and dairy industries are highly subsidized by our government; dairy for example is in everything because dairy is so highly funded for and produced that there’s nowhere to put it all! so it goes in literally everything.

you don’t need a lot of disposable income to be on a plant based diet. there are three very poor vegans in this household, and we still make do. shopping smart has a lot to do with it; we cook a lot of meals which cuts costs a lot, and plant based staples like rice, beans, lentils, potatoes, and greens, and canned/frozen versions of any of these are extremely cheap when purchased in bulk. i’d say your biggest investment is probably going to be your spice cabinet. again, you don’t have to buy the expensive organic stuff if you don’t want to, no one is making you. and if you’re homeless and can only survive on food that’s given to you even if it contains animal products, no vegan is out to get you [and if they are, they’re wrong]. if you’re poor and only get the choice between eating animal products and starving, none of the vegans i know are going to judge you for it.

plant based dieting, or mostly plant based dieting, can be a viable option for most people if they’d just do some really easy dietary research, learn to shop smart [which is not difficult!], and learn to cook. yes, cooking is not an option for many people, and to those i’d still recommend a plant based diet because in my five years of mostly plant based dieting, it is truly cheaper than non plant based. processed/premade foods may cost a bit more, but in the long run you will save money.

https://www.google.com/search?q=cheap+plant+based+dieting&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8

you don’t need supplements to be on a plant based diet, but it is highly recommended yes. it’s highly recommended to be on supplements regardless of whether or not you consume animal products by most professionals iirc. also, multivitamins are pretty cheap online and irl. you don’t need the super fancy protein powder every morning. also, many processed foods and things like soymilk are already going to be fortified with vitamins.

from one poor black 5-year vegan, veganism and plant based dieting are accessible and the ideology itself is not this black and white void of “if you ate a cookie at work bc you were hungry you’re a shitty person”. it’s a lot more nuanced than that, but understanding this requires critical thinking.
