I'm poor. I probably have less home than you. I like cats more than humans. These "micropayments" are just payments to me. With that said, I'm not sure how often I will use this.

Lots of cat lovers here. I'm sure you'll find a niche. How many cats do you have?

I had 6 before the ex-wife took a … on my life. Started out with just the one I grew up with. Then a person I knew was just leaving his cat after moving. With no remorse. Didn't even say bye when I took her. Surprise, 4 kittens. Couldn't let them go.

Thank you @1374. I hadn't intended for that post to come off as indirectly asking. I honestly didn't think it would actually get seen by anyone

Not entirely sure. She said she would take care of it and pay for it and such. I sent her back the signed forms. If I'll ever get out of being homeless, I'll confirm that and handle it if it isn't. Not like I own anything substantial now anyways.

Homeless huh? Are you fill on couch surfing or can you stay with friends?

Friends eventually ceased contact. Mother and s.f. are retired, and own 5 properties. 2 are near me in the sf bay area (apt I grew up in, and a 5br remodeled home), but need to rent out, but sail in a custom boat. For me 3 yrs out on streets 2 yrs vehicle

Are you suffering mental illness or substance abuse issues? Usually that seems to go hand in hand with those experiencing homelessness.

Had the perfect job at a startup, 8th person there. Was going to be the 2nd main operator of a mobile soil remediation machine. Was making about 150k counting o.t. and per diem pay. They paid for the rooms. Basically living wherever jobsite was

So I brought wife with me. I didn't find this out until 2 years after the split. I was forced to resign because she had told me a worker at the motel … assaulted her while I was working, of course I sided with her.
1HHPQoUrAqhobf98ypr9dVDNY6pH7nT52A ·
What actually happened was that I was forced to resign because she had tried to offer herself to the worker for some scripts, and the worker reported it, and since the company was paying for the room they were informed about that and I was forced to resign
1HHPQoUrAqhobf98ypr9dVDNY6pH7nT52A ·
But the reason I chose to leave, was because about 3 months after the marriage, she suddenly days she doesn't love me anymore, I tried to work things out until I found out she had slept with 3 other guys within a month.

After all that, the most heartbreaking part I still cannot get over. even now, is having to give up my cats.

Sorry I haven't seen that question. Let me try to find it. I seem to never get the hang of how to see comments on Twitter so here as well
1HHPQoUrAqhobf98ypr9dVDNY6pH7nT52A ·
Found it. I've had a lot of anxiety and depression since my early 20's. Before any of this. For substances, before homeless Did a good amount of mushrooms, ecstacy and Molly, Occasionally some vicodin. Drinking I did mostly before 21. Not much after though

Sounds like you need employment. What are your barriers to gainful employment?

After being homeless, I did start using heroin, but not like how most people imagine it. Like nodding off, completely out of it, drooling and almost unresponsive to anything except for dropping their stuff. That's when it's injected, which I've never done
123vb6dSr4XjFt15rPBM7MykA416Fyzd6M ·
Have you considered some form of treatment?
1HHPQoUrAqhobf98ypr9dVDNY6pH7nT52A ·
I started out smoking it, then switched to snorting it. Mostly just doing enough to not get withdrawals since my body did get dependent on it. Almost everyone now is doing fentanyl. I've managed to stay away from that and I don't intend on trying it either

I've met some people that like the lifestyle.

I was doing independent contracting work for 6 years through wonolo. Then that ab5 I think it is law was passed in california which basically made most of those platforms cease operations in california. Otherwise, a bench warrant for a ridiculous charge.

That having a spring assisted pocket knife is considered a switch blade. Despite being legal to purchase. It cannot leave your house. I had it in my car at the time since I was living out of it, which is also illegal. Cops will hassle outside of sf
123vb6dSr4XjFt15rPBM7MykA416Fyzd6M ·
i don't think that's a felony and would prevent you from gainful employment.

You are 100x farther than most homeless people just by having access to the internet. Google is your best friend. Use it every day to find and solve your problems.
1EHvgzRwLh2kQZfv3oxnYre6i4GYw2yUwc (10242) ·
I think Reddit is a good place to find help and ideas, people are generally very helpful over there
Good luck and stay positive

Not sure that's entirely accurate. I believe in our area we have a program that provides phones with internet to those experiencing homelessness. I was detained with 15 others for crimes I did not commit. And 12 of 15 were homeless.
1EHvgzRwLh2kQZfv3oxnYre6i4GYw2yUwc (10242) ·
My point is that the internet is a powerful tool that can help solve a lot of problems if you know how to use it

Yes, but there has been a clear pattern when I was job searching. For edu I am "some college-no degree", but up until covid, my work experience looked good, and independent contracting had filled any gaps between jobs.

From first to current I have been a: cafe associate, mobile electronics installation technician, premises technician(u-verse installer), machine operator, sales associate, stock associate, independent contractor, unemployed.

So with that I had a somewhat decent rate of actually hearing back from places I've applied to, but as soon as it came time to background check I would either not hear back or was told they found a better fit. Still apply when I come across jobs though.

I have also used the lifeline program with a few different carriers. It's not the most reliable in providing the allotted data each month, but it's free. Some carriers are shadier than others though.
