Not moving// trans house mates?

My options: staying in this house - upside down Queen of Swords. Moving, but staying in Minneapolis or st. Paul - upside down Fortune. Moving out of state - upside down Eight of Cups. What will help me make my decision - upside down 9 cups.

It looks like my best option is to stay where I am for the time being, despite how I feel about it. It may not be as bad as I think it will be. I basically won't have any luck finding a new place to stay in this area, and all the other places that I look at outside of the state are "dried up". but I will Reserve that in context of the places that I'm looking at, and not apply that to any other places that I might not be looking at, but may come across in the future to consider. What will help me decide is either dissatisfaction or misery. and I will admit I've been very dissatisfied with my options and people's reactions to expressing the type of situation I want to live in.

But, a passing issue is finding decent people that also happen to be trans, that also happen to be women. I'm considering having another cis house mate for a while longer, because things aren't working out with that side of the family like I feel like they should. Another thing I'm having a huge problem with is white privilege. Which can lead to other problems, like a lack a spatcial awareness or easily forgetting what someone brown just told someone and why they said it. Or, maybe just feeling like someone is exmept from what was said, based on privilege.

I know I don't want to pick another person that was born and raised in the state, or another white person. But, family is a challenge. I really don't want to drop off on giving well-deserved people an opportunity but I've had enough of what this area has to offer with the issues I've already endured.

It's more to think on, and I have a lot of time to think about it. It is very disappointing that this is something I have to think about in such a way.

Year of the ROOSTER!

Happy Lunar New Year!

This year.. I bought gifts for my housemates... the LUNAR year, I finally gave it to them, because they hadn't noticed it where it was!

Speaking of which, I've decided to not fight for this place. My last effort was going to ask the housemanager to interview us with a lot of meaning behind it, but fuck it now. The housemate let one of my friends in the house when I didn't hear the door, so she can have the house. It's not worth all this drama.

Also on the subject of drama, I'm not making any new associations with the local trans fem community as a goal for the year. The transfem community here has been mostly abusive, and I've fallen victim to some of their ways. Any transfems I'm not already cool with, I'm not trying to get to know. When I go out to other places I will be willing to get to know people OUTSIDE of the local community.

Year of the Rooster is off to quite a start!
