I just tried to get into a DV shelter and was told the local ones are all full and I don't even meet their criteria. Rough enough situation to make me make a phone call, and to a place like that, and still they're all full of people who've got it worse.
One of those places has over ninety rooms. How're they full? Q's right, that's how. 😖
Thanks for offering! It's an awkward, stressful mess of a situation :-\ Maybe, though! I've typed up tons of stuff (stress reaction, sorry >.<; ) here and in linked places: https://pawb.social/post/8222904
Super very shortified version: Not-young, trans, ND, many problems, stuck with bioparents in Oklahoma for reasons. Said "no" one time and they became threatening and scary. Called cops on me, even. Would likely have gotten physical if I hadn't locked my door. Attempting an escape to Minneapolis on probably-Friday. Anywhere to stay here (to plan the move more sensibly) or there (to start to build a life) is very needed, but I don't know anyone anywhere and I just don't have time for anything without fighting them over their BS idea of eviction process, which might get me hurt or dumped in the river.
Humans CAN be savage and cruel. Humans CAN also create beauty in their collective works. I believe the human race, weighed as a measure of everyone's contribution, could do better, but we're doing pretty good for a feeble childish race.
Humanity in general is too kind to kill its vicious leaders, which represent a minority, greedy psychopaths the lot of them, not representative of the wider population.
