something more alive in silence

My partner's conditions aren't the best in terms of living, and they desperately want to move out as there's been repeated health hazards, such as molding food. That aside — Corpus Christi has chosen industry over its people. With the Trump regime and violence towards LGBTQ+ members, I do worry.

With that in mind, I want to open up coms once more. I am currently clearing out my older work load, so this was more a means of having no other options.

Work is scarce at the moment, +30 applications, and I've only had a job with last minute, improvised shifts. If not that, I've been ghosted.

While I am being promised with more work, it's a matter of needing my legal documents sorted out first, before I can get more than just weird odd jobs from 2 hiring agencies I applied for. I'm in a weird legal gray until then.

Excluding withdrawls / archives, I've been ghosted so often.

My passport has expired, and I need a new SSN card. I am however getting that sorted by the 3rd.

While I have money, it came from my 401k — which over half was eaten by taxes. I used a chunk to pay off university debts as well.

I've not been able to save my 401K, as it's kept me afloat.

Really, this is primarily to help keep us both afloat as a sort of rainy day fund, especially given how expensive moving is. We've spent quite some time sorting things out privately (hence my silence), budgeting, comparing options, etc.

And while I'm aware my state is... not the best in a lot of ways, I live in a moderately left leaning city with intentions to ultimately leave for safer lands.
