I lost my canvasing job because I could not convince people directly complicit in genocide living extremely wealthy lives to donate $20 a month to feed the children their government is bombing.

I want to give up. I am about to run out of rent and bill money, all my savings and meager inheritance from my dead grandmother is gone. I gave almost all of it away, then I lost my job.

I don't know what to do now, my mind wanders to adventurism.

my mind wanders to adventurism.

I'm feeling you there, this month has really been awful. For me it started with losing a friend, the pain has been indescribable. Making things worse most of my spending money this month has since gone to attempting to bail out another comrade picked up by ICE since then. Fortunately my work has been blessedly stable in spite of things or I would really be starting to lose it.

Despite that stability it's been almost impossible to focus on work with the ICE gestapo hanging out in my neighborhood pretty much every day. I hope I don't end up suffering consequences for that but either way there's no end in sight and that's starting to wear on me.

I hope you manage to find something and please don't hesitate to reach out if you need help.
