I forgot that it's my mega week so no big info dump this time. Instead I bring a question: how do you practice gender self-care? Do you have any activities or rituals that make you feel more comfortable in your gender? Painting my nails and taking care of my hair are the most consistent ones. These shouldn't even be considered gendered activities by society, but I missed out on having long hair and painted nails when I was younger because of my assigned gender, so doing them now feels validating and gives me confidence.

As a reminder, please do not discuss current struggle sessions in the mega. We want this to be a little oasis for all of us and the best way to do that is not to feed into existing conflict on the site.
Also, be sure to properly give content warnings and put sensitive subjects behind proper spoiler tags. It's for the mental health of not just your comrades, but yourself as well.
Here is a screenshot of where to find the spoiler button.

Fed up with both my jobs. Hate both. Trying to lock in for the last like month or two so I can save more but fuck.
Also when I move I'm probably going to be making like 35k, no idea how to do dick with that.
Also thinking about structural transphobia at work, fml. Why the fuck did u have to be born into this. In such a bad place rn.
You could check the median income in the area you're moving to.
Median is 50k. Maybe I can find a suburb or something that's cheaper.
E: these are genuinely all more expensive fuck my shitty trans life.
If it weren't for this and that I'd never have been depressed, would have gotten a chance at an actually decent job. Lost literally all the will to live because of all this. Fucking hell. Bitter.
Oof. That does mean you'll have trouble (although even someone at 50k isn't well off in America).
Yeah that makes sense. Suburbs tend to have sprawl and gentrification. Maybe look for an inner city studio. Given the median income of where you're at, I think you could find one at 1200 a month? Or maybe less. Not too sure about American rents.
But if I were you I'd probably search with keywords related to students or other demographics expected to have limited budgets.
๐ญ Doesn't surprise me I'll be in trouble tbh
Can I afford 1200/month? I was looking and can definitely find apartments for that amount. I feel like a lot of them want your income to be 3x
Do those places usually rent to people who aren't students too though?
Sometimes they don't. Sometimes they do. Even just knowing the area for students can be useful as you can find cheap studios nearby.
1200/month is 14400 a year. 3 times that is 44200. So it's not entirely out of your range if you went down to 1100/month or 1000/month.
I didn't say you should look for 600/month because idk if that even exists in America. I live in such a place, but I live in the middle of bum fuck no where and commute hours by train.
Also you should definitely look for studios not apartment if rent affordability is an issue. I guess it makes it hard to bring people over, which is sad, but it's better than being at the financial edge.
Okay, I guess it's worth investigating then.
Yea I think that's what I'll have to be looking at, that's pretty much the cheapest I was able to find anything last time I looked. It was hard to find anything under like 1100. Wish there was 600/month options. Although I'm not trying to commute hours a day either. I'll look more later.
I think this is a culture difference, here I'm like 90% sure you can call studios apartments, the "full" "proper" name is a studio apartment.
Yeah I guess m2 is more relevant. I'm in 25 m2. House hunting fucking sucks tho.
We just call em rooms. Even the main dutch website for getting ~~scammed~~ places is called "kamernet" (kamer means room).
I don't know what this means
