What To Do If You Suddenly Find Yourself Homeless

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

I’m sorry, I try to stay out of these debates as much as possible, but this has to stop. If the LGBTQ+ actually ends up allowing this to happen, and adds a “P” for Pedosexual as an actual orientation? I’m fucking done.

A child cannot fucking consent. You damn “Pedosexual” need to go die in a fire. You aren’t wanted here and no one wants any of your shit. You are a threat to children. They don’t know any better for consent or not, you are a predator and you eat shit.

I don’t normally say this kind of vulgar stuff, but if you consider yourself a “Pedosexual”, you are welcome to go die. This world doesn’t have room for you anymore, nor did it ever have room for you. We are concerned about be safety of our children and you are endangering them.

If you are a Pedosexual or a Pedosexual sympathizer, please leave my blog immediately.

This is it, it’s a little messy because I was drawing on a bus, but I like how it came out

So, I fell out of drawing because it was hard for me to be content in what I was doing. However, seeing your art has inspired me to draw again and for the first time, I’m actually proud of what I’ve done. Thank you

——-

I’m so glad to have inspired you sweetie! I wanna see whatever you draw!!

Antis, you ruin fandom. All you do is ruin fandom. Fandom is only a dangerous and unsafe place because of what you do. Just remember that. You don’t protect anyone, only harm people.

“Sending love to anyone who had to put on someone else’s clothes & agree to answer to a name that isn’t theirs in order to go home today. Sending love, as well, to everyone who isn’t welcome home because they refuse to do so.”
