No money in the red kettles. Mutual aid instead.

Im just very frustrated and tired

Ofc I understand that "customer service" positions are never a cakewalk, I get that

But when the tearing down comes from your own management it makes you feel like "why am I here then?"

Being cornered again about "not being at the level they want" after they gassed me up about being perfect in a management position,,,

But the rest of the staff cant do it?? (Availabilty of hours, family matters, etc)

I should have stayed a grunt, but then Id be battling others for part time pay

If you can't come out right now, please don't hate yourself.
One day, the meaning of labels will disappear.

Please love yourself as you are.
The one who can cherish yourself the most is yourself.
Because that is your strength and beauty.
Chiitan loves you

Hello, I am Liz, a disabled autistic trans woman with cPTSD. My partner is a working-disabled enby with ADHD, mobility issues, and chronic pain. Please, we need help caring for ourselves, our 2 dogs and 6 cats, and 9 of the local stray cats.

MJ the Cowboy Corgi laying on my lap. She has a fleece blanket thrown over her, covering everything but her adorable face, chest, and one paw.

Toffee the Chihuahua and Tiny Tina the Grey Tortoiseshell Cat laying back-to-back on the big couch. Toffee is asleep while Tina has her head turned all the way around to sleepily look back at Toffee.

Boos the Chonky Black Cat doing his famous headplant, where he stands up and puts the top of his head on whatever surface he's on, my belly in this case. He usually does this in response to really good pets and/or scritches, especially if they're on the back of his neck. There is also Bonny the Tabby Mama Cat laying on my lap in the background.

Two of the nine strays that hang out on our porch, Mr. Pinky and Miss Turkle. They are curled up together while they sleep in a flowerpot.

Screenshot of text that says: I'm a single disabled mom of four. I have uterine fibroids that causes excessive bleeding and fatigue, POTs and PTSD from Covid turning into long covid and causing my health problems. I was working two jobs prior to not working until it caught up to me and I ended up in the ER with a heart rate that wouldn't slow down until I had to take medication. I have been trying to get on disability since. A year later I started to caretake for my disabled child by myself as well. I had help previously but it wasn't working out and l've had to do a lot of it on my own, now I'm stuck in a situation where working isn't possible for my health and while I'm already caretaking for my disabled child that needs constant care. I did not ever envision this happening to me and have always worked hard to take care of my family but now I'm in what feels like an impossible situation trying my best to take care of my kids and myself so I can stay around for them as long as possible. Im not enjoying coming online asking for help but I have no where else to turn. I'm doing

Screenshot of text that says: have no where else to turn. I'm doing everything I can to get help but it's not enough to survive off of. I'm sadly the only responsible parent and have limited family that all live too far to help. I live in California which is a bit expensive but with the state of America right now I'm trying to stay where my trans child and disabled child are the safest. Any help is appreciated and keeps my kids and I surviving while waiting on disability or other options I'm pursuing to happen. I don't know what the future holds but as a mother I'm doing everything I can to keep my family together, healthy and happy. Even if it means coming online and begging for that help. Thank you if you read.
Please boost if you're able. The chances someone who can help sees my post greatly increases with more eyes. Lots of love

You are not lazy. You are doing normal human things at a normal human pace. The people who want you to chase money and be productive 24/7 are the freaks. We can reject their ideas when we are in our own homes.
