#possibly moving

Bf and part of polycule may be moving there in the next six months to whatever and I would like to know how if I have community there?

What should I know that I don’t?

i’ve been looking for work for a while, passively, and just had a conversation (the first) with a recruiter today. if the position were to work out, i would need to move to NorCal. I’m open to this, but it would really have to be the right position.

the company is located in Sunnyvale and it looks like i might be able to afford to buy a house (obviously would need to sell mine) in the general area. there would be a lot of logistics to something like this, but if it were to work out, that would be fine.

and as i write that i think to myself: of course this is going to happen, because it would be just my luck that i’d need to sell my house, buy another one, and move during the holidays

ETA: i think that i need to assume this will happen, and if not this company, possibly another, which means i need to start working on my house and getting stuff tossed/organized/etc.

ETA #2: looked up the salary that is being reported on glassdoor and holy cow, would absolutely consider moving for this company if it turns out that they want me and it’s a job i want.

So, I've done two months worth of job applications. Now, mind you, that's daily. I've been putting in enough applications that Indeed asked me if I needed help.

And I've been depressed because I can't go anywhere, or do anything, because the city I'm in isn't really walkable, I don't know how to drive, nor do I have a car, and I have no money. I'm room bound, basically.

And my dad basically told me that he'd help me but he "needed to see some effort", and I wanted to throat punch him. I also asked him "What can you do that I haven't already done?" His response was to tell me to "drop the attitude".

And that's not the worse of it. I've been depressed. I've been room bound because I can't do anything. My dad basically brushed it off and then blamed me for my depression, and told me it's because I don't do anything.

So, he's gone most of the day. At work. From 2pm to almost 3 in the morning. And if I'm not up at that time, I don't get to talk to him. Yeah, he's supposed to be off on Fridays and the weekend, but he works six days a week. And all he does on his down time is text his girlfriend (this is at least the third one in two months, at least fifth since he cheated on my mom. Like, seriously, the dude has just bounced from relationship to relationship with reckless abandon), sleep, and criticize me.

I thought things would be different, but boy, was I wrong. I want to be on my own, but I can be on my own, because I don't have the skills. Mostly because I can't drive because I don't have a vehicle and no one will teach me, and I'm to broke for driving school.

Dad did say something about putting me on a plane back to my mom, but..... I don't wanna do that. But I don't wanna stay here. It's all very frustrating.

So I’m sure all of you know the issue with Tumblr right now so I’ll spare you the details. Some of you may be looking at the title of this blog and thinking why I am worried since I don’t really do any NSFW stuff. Well, there’s two reasons for that.

I never know what the future holds. I might do some NSFW content in the future, whether it’s a personal project or a commission from someone. Even though they are currently only targeting sexually explicit content, they may go after the more violent end of NSFW in the future (such as my Bendy commission from a year ago). However, the second reason is the most major one.

I follow quite a few artists on Twitter who use Tumblr quite often. Just about all of them have sent out some concerning tweets showing that a lot of their posts that aren’t even NSFW are getting flagged as well (most of them don’t even do NSFW stuff and are still getting posts flagged). So basically no one is safe from this purge, even if you don’t do NSFW stuff, because this new algorithm is just too inconsistent and... well... dumb.

Long story short, in such a short span of time, this site has become a bit too unstable for my tastes, and I might leave all-together, so I decided to make this post for those of you who only follow me here to let you all know where else you can find me (so I don’t just disappear on everyone). I probably won’t leave right away, or if things suddenly get better (which I doubt) I may not leave after all.

I’m more active on Twitter than anywhere else at https://twitter.com/JoliVector. As for blogs, I may be moving to Newgrounds, where you can find me at https://jolivector.newgrounds.com/. Of course, here are other places you can find me:

I’ve always had cats growing up. They are my preferred pet. Independent, but social. Adorable, but only when they want to be. Affectionate, but on their terms. Basically me.

I have one cat currently, Regina. She is a ten year old tortishell. She is quite active, affectionate, loves to be pet, has a weird personality. But she does not like to be cuddled, picked up, and will not lay in my lap. She always wants to be pet and will lay on the arm rest or the chair next to me to get it. Or get in my face in the middle of the night.

I’m debating getting a second cat. I had one, named Dude. He got cancer and I had to euthanize him last fall. Regina has been solo since, but she is a social cat and I believe would benefit from having a buddy. I found one today that may be a good fit. Four years old, male, front declawed, neutered. He was very receptive to pets and would purr, but stayed firmly in his corner in the kennel. It was his first day there, so it’s understandable. His description says that he likes other cats and also likes to lay on laps. This seems like what I’ve been looking for. 

However, if I move in the next year, moving one cat(let alone two) is going to be a challenge. Will it be easy to find a place that accepts cats? People do move with pets all the time, but I’ve never done it personally.
