-- @OhNoItsGlitch and I are still severely having issues. Our landlord is, as always, being very patient and kind. Individually, it& #39;s at the point where I can no longer even pay my phone bill and have my service cut off. Our Internet will be cut off soon as well. https://twitter.com/Scabgull/status/1279564248126013441">https://twitter.com/Scabgull/...
For more context, I lost my job right before the state declared a state of emergency for COVID-19. Being in an at-will state, I was able to be terminated for vague reasons. I worked with children, and the reason was "parental concerns." The employer absolutely --
-- refused to elaborate, despite me pursuing it. Not having my name changed, I was still required to sign all legal documents at that job with my dead name. I have no doubt that these "parental concerns" stemmed from me being a trans man. --
-- As I had done absolutely nothing wrong at all. Being in an at-will state, they legally did not have to provide any explanation for my termination. Since it happened literally days before COVID-19 state emergency, I was not able to get a new job in time. --
-- I had gotten a positive determination saying I qualified for unemployment, but had never been able to successfully contact anyone before that determination expired, due to the system being overloaded with communication during all operation hours. --
-- I haven& #39;t been able to apply for a new job since. I am an immuno-compromised individual, and nowhere locally is safely hiring or providing appropriate PPE. @OhNoItsGlitch takes commissions, but already owes so much and cannot keep taking more. --
-- Sorry that is so much, but I felt the need to explain better. We can& #39;t pay our phone bills or rent. We are so far behind on car payments, and the bank repeatedly sends letters and emails to take our car back. @OhNoItsGlitch and I are very much on the edge of having nothing.
