I am having a real problem with my job. I just get fucking bored and unable to complete things effectively. ADHD and executive dysfunction are bitches.
I keep thinking "maybe I could make things work doing commissions, comics, ychs, and adopts. Of course with the collapse of our financial stability as a country on the horizon, that dream is further away than ever.
I fell into a windfall with my father passing away. It isn't a ton of money, but it is something. I could quit and really make a go of it. Make art my job (well, differently than the "art" I do at work here). It would be...unwise.
But there's at least one transphobic bigot that I work with and they know I'm trans. The rest of the company is highly conservative and some are involved in politics.
I feel like a sheep among wolves and not in a kinky way. I must find something else. I may also move across the country, where I might be safer. This is contingent on a lot of things, namely selling my father's house.
Things are getting worse. But for the first time I'm actually happy, except for the job and collapse of the country. It's ironic that this happiness is threatened after finally being acquired.
Please let me know your thoughts on this. I would really appreciate it.
Much love,

It's... hard to be ale to give any concrete advice, but I hope you can get the house sold quick, and for a good price, so you can move someplace that will be better for you.
If you don't go freelance, than I really hope you find a good job after you move, and wind up surrounded by good people.

Definitely move to a blue state if you can. The reds are determined to do everything short of putting everyone not a straight white Christian male into extralegal ghettoes... And we're only six months into the term. You need to get somewhere the local authorities won't gleefully aid the feds to n persecuting you.
I don't blame people for moving out of red states and back to blue ones (or even to Canada for that matter). The greatest tragedy is that so many red states are beautiful and have such intriguing cultures, but it seems like the last couple of years we've gotten to where people are taking their masks off and saying the quiet parts out loud.
Will there be a new civil war? I doubt it, although I wouldn't be shocked if certain states tried splitting off to form their own states (upstate NY, central and southern IL, eastern and central WA and OR, etc). But all this division could have been easily prevented if we just learned to accept one another and stopped trying to create scapegoats for why we aren't successful or thriving.
I wish you the best of luck and hope your situation gets better. There are genuinely good people in the United States; you just have to know where to look.

You do realize that Hispanics didn't vote blue this time around.
No one is going to "break away" from the 50. In 40 years I've heard everything from California breaking away to California splitting in three... and it hasn't happened.
Canada wants applying citizens to actually hold down a job.

While moving to a Blue region won't solve all issues, it may help. Especially if you have a (different) job lined up. At the very least, getting out of your current environment sounds like it should be one of your top priorities. There's no compromise with people who don't want you to exist.
Regardless of your future path, I hope you can find peace again.

I know part time jobs don't grow on trees but maybe that can be your stopgap?
Being solely reliant on your creative output for your primary income you are depending on could lead into both burnout and/or artblock.
I done my math and i know i can 100% not make it work for fulltime arting and even partime would be a huge hurdle but maybe you can cut corners that i can't and can make ends meet comfortably?

Honestly, I wouldn't just be contemplating moving to a blue state, but to another country entirely, or at the very least, Hawaii or one of the island territories, where subjugation is less likely. Apparently you don't necessarily need to know Spanish to live & work in Puerto Rico.
But this country really is on the verge of outright financial collapse, especially with the bond market destabilizing. 📉😬
I would try to find a job with a company based in another country, and see if they'd allow you to work remotely at first until you've earned enough to cover the costs of migration. And even if you ultimately don't end up fully emigrating out of this shithole, working for a company based outside it would probably be more financially secure & stable.

I'm in a somewhat similar boat, in that I'm debating what to do and whether or not I should shift locations. For at least a few more months it's unfeasible, but in any circumstances moving and switching to an art career is a gamble, but it could also possibly pay off for you as it has for others that have tried it. My best suggestion is to maybe ask a few folks that do make a living off commissions for feedback, and maybe try to get that started before you move? Because the plus side to an art business is it can come with you for the most part.
As I catch up on FA, I'm doing it backwards, as I don't know what past date I should go back to, to move forward through time from.
So, I didn't know you had been fired, but I also didn't know about this post where you were expressing your dissatisfaction in your employment. I wonder if the firing was completely unrelated to these thoughts, or somehow connected!
I hope you can sell that house and move somewhere you'd rather be, now, in any case. <3
