Hi my names tyler and i’m a black autistic trans guy with two cats attempting to escape an unsafe housing situation, my mother is verbally, financially, and physically abusive and has started making violent threats on my life as well as threats to make me homeless or harm my animals

It’s been so severe that im staying at my partners house currently to avoid her but I cannot stay here permanently and need secure housing so that my mother does not hurt me or my animals.

While I’m mostly looking for financial help to get an apartment if anyone knows people looking for roommates or with housing they can offer for rent in the areas around north philadelphia, lower bucks county PA, and burlington county NJ please feel free to reach out to me, id be able to afford up to 1k in rent and I am looking to move immediately, I have a secure job housing is the only issue.

If you could spread this i’d appreciate it greatly, my gofundme link has essentially all the same info so that can be spread alone if possible, I also have my links for venmo and paypal below if that’s easier to use, In addition I draw and can do kofi sketches for donations (examples of art here) I am incredibly desperate to move as none of my family members are offering adequate help regarding the situation so anything at all helps, thankyou for taking the time to read this

paypal + venmo + kofi

I once bought a pinata and smashed it, alone

my darkest secrets:

i once gave a jelly bean to a squirrel. it ran into traffic and was immediately crushed.

i once threw a beach ball in a fit of rage. it floated away.

in middle school i told a pretty boy that i was raised by goats (i wasn't)

when i was eleven i called a kid “dirt” and he cried.

one time i dumped a salad in my friend's bed. i forgot why i did that.

i once recorded a video of myself eating raisins and sent it to america's funniest home videos.

i once hid weed in an illustrated edition of bible.

this one time i got depressed and tried to learn norwegian.

i once bought a pinata and smashed it, alone.

once i said a prayer to the wrong god. it worked.

An abandoned potato sorting station near Krasnosilka, Ukraine with a unusual, cantilevered design. The concrete block at the end forms the counterweight of the structure, creating the impression it floats over the fields.

When Diana Wynne Jones said “a heart’s a heavy burden”, and when Stuart Turton said “every life has such weight.”. Also, when Orhan Pamuk said “from tiny experiences we build cathedrals”, and when Carole Maso said “it is true: the world is a cathedral of light.”.

I’m thinking of how cathedrals are so heavy, like hearts. I’m thinking that our heavy humanness is a sign of light - something we should cherish. How it is filled with love, and tenderness, and hope. We carry such weight within ourselves that sometimes we don’t know what to do with it - it’s too much. But loving another being is a blessing. Having a heart filled with light, despite all the darkness and its cracks, is a miracle. It’s all supposed to be heavy. Cathedrals of tiny experiences, cathedrals made of love, a heart so full with love - we’re all Sophie giving back to Howl his heart (and how funny is that, in the beginning, it was said he stole hearts). We are constantly giving each other their hearts back. We keep receiving our hearts back.

It is true, then: the world is made of love and light.
