Kleine Warnung an alle, die mir folgen.

Es ist Sonntag; das bedeutet, dass es heute wieder #AmericanFootball in meinen Trööts geben wird – voraussichtlich in der Zeit zwischen kurz vor 19:00 Uhr bis nach Mitternacht.

NFL Saison 2025/2026 · 12. Spieltag

Am 12. Spieltag der NFL in der Saison 2025/2026 gibt es für meine beiden Lieblingsmannschaften Spiele, die zum Glück zeitlich nacheinander stattfinden werden: Ab 19:00 Uhr treffen die Pittsburgh Steelers auf die Chicago Bears im Soldier Field, Chicago. Bei kühlen 10°C wird es eine Standortbestimmung für beide Teams, die 6 Sieges und 4 Niederlagen (Steelers) bzw. 7 Siege und 3 Niederlagen (Bears) vorweisen können. Der Tabellenführer in der AFC North trifft auf den Tabellenführer in der NFC North.

It is Sunday morning.

I am Aphrodite's ocean of stress.

I love you, Fediverse. Let's all have a great day.

🚀 4 AM Update: The Support is Here. The Final Hurdle is Timing.

It’s 4 AM on Sunday. The mask is off. I’ve been in this atmosphere so long I've been able to take off the mask. It's surprising how quickly you get used to things. I've slept, gratefully, and a lot of that is thanks to the reduced stress from seeing your surge of support yesterday.

When I posted in a panicked state about the toxic air and the massive funding gap, you showed up. I need to thank, by name, the people who are funding this exit:

⭐ David Beers
⭐ Samantha Rose
⭐ Meade Isaiah Madrone

And I must thank the four anonymous heroes who—together with the three heroes I listed above—donated a grand total of $435 towards getting me out of this toxic environment and towards a safe home in Pittsburgh.

I'm not there yet, but I'm close. I'm so close. ⌛

The PA LPC license is almost active. The housing and job interviews are next week. I just need to be sure I get there. I cannot let anything get in the way of this. And I won't. Because thanks to you, I'll soon have the means to get out of here.

The final, scary hurdle is that GoFundMe pledges are not instant. This is the part of the crisis no one talks about—having the pledges but not the cash, and still having to figure out how to bridge that 24-hour gap. Knowing the $435 is coming is what gives me the wherewithal to find a solution.

But the hardest part of all this has been what I'm leaving behind. Not the things. Things don't matter. The people. My housemates aren't evil, and they don't deserve to live the way that they do. They live the way they do because of years of untreated trauma. And I lived with them because I had trauma too, and I had no other options available to me at the time.

We let those who need us most pass through our fingers so often, and as you help me, I can't help but feel guilty that I'm not able to help them. Tried, yeah. But as I've also said in therapy, "You can take a horse to water, but you can never force it to drink." And we rely on what we're most familiar with in order to feel safety.

I could see a world in which this whole GoFundMe campaign fails, I give up, and I never do anything more than this. Maybe one day, I'd apply to SSI like the others here. They'd die long before I did, on account of the current of their health, and so I'd inherit their stuff, which I would now have learned how never to let go. I could see an alternate universe in which they joined me. But we're in this one, and I'll have to make do with what I can have in this one. 😿

I am grieving this morning, but I am full of hope. Thank you for building this bridge. We're not at the finish line yet, but the path is visible. I am in awe of your support.

🚀 CRITICAL: Environment Toxic. Fund Gap. FINAL 36 HOURS.

This is the final, most urgent update. We are in the last 36 hours.

The Situation: I returned to the house to pack. I lasted less than an hour. The environment is not just unsafe; it's physically toxic. My housemates' cats have saturated my room with ammonia in the time that I was gone washing my clothes and engaging in basic fucking self-care. So my last safe space is gone.

I am currently wearing a mask lined with Vicks VapoRub just to be able to breathe inside. I cannot sleep here. I cannot stay here. Please, gods, I can't. ☠️

The Deadline: My exit deadline is no longer Monday. It is this Sunday night.

The Financial Reality: As had been discussed in a previous update, part of the $746 you all generously donated has been spent on the non-negotiable costs of escape:
🔹 Multiple, repeated washings of all my clothes (decontamination).
🔹 Packing supplies (boxes, tape, bins).
🔹 Food and supplies to survive while packing.

After accounting for everything, I have approximately $400 left for the exit itself.

This is the hard reality: $400 is not enough to cover the one-way truck rental (which requires a debit card hold) AND the gas/tolls for the 15-hour drive to Pittsburgh.

I am now in an impossible position. I am being poisoned by cat pee in a house I cannot leave, with a deadline I cannot meet. I have no other viable, safe options. This fund is the only path that gets me and my dog out safely by Sunday.

We are no longer building a buffer. We are funding the physical exit. The truck. The gas. The tolls.

If you have been watching and waiting, the time is now. This is the final 36 hours. Please. Help me close this gap and get on the road safely on Sunday.

In better news:

My first haircut in four years is pictured below! 🙀

It wound up being free because my hair was so long that I was able to donate it to children in need (hell yeah, #IRLMutualAid). 😻

But I never would have even gone if not for all of you.

Thank you. 💙

⭐ CRUNCH TIME: The Final Push. Leaving Monday. (Second Interview Secured!)

This is it. We are in the final 72 hours.

My absolute last day to leave this environment is this Monday, November 17th. We are in crunch time, and I have two massive updates—one about the future, and one about the present—all thanks to you.

First, the future: The job interview went incredibly well. I am officially in the second round of interviews for the therapist position in Pittsburgh! This isn't just a "hope" anymore; this is an active, in-progress reality. The path to stability is clear, and I am walking it.

Second, the present: I want to tell you what your $696 has already done.

Because of you, I had my first real shower in weeks. Because of you, I have socks again. I've been able to buy food, and I'd forgotten what it tasted like.

Your donations gave me back my basic human dignity and have brought me to tears.

I'm using that energy to get ready. I am packing. I am running all my clothes through the wash multiple times to get the allergens off them. When I came back into the house today, the smell... it's overwhelming. It smelled this bad two years ago, but back then, I believed this is what I deserved.
I don't anymore.

We are in the final push. The $696 we've raised is a miracle, but it must cover the debit-card-friendly truck rental (Budget/Penske) AND the security deposit/first few days in a safe place. We are not at the goal, and Monday is the deadline.

If you have been watching and waiting, this is the moment. This is the final weekend. Help me cross this last bridge. Help me finally get home.
