      You have to build community. I can’t build it for you and if it doesn’t exist, it can’t help you. Even without trying to get people to work with you or listen to you about mutual aid, befriend them and talk to them generally.

      It’s not easy, but self-direction is never easy. It will always be simpler to keep your job and get taken advantage of, but if you’re sick of it, you have to do the hard thing.

      I really think you should read the link I posted. Let me know what you think after reading it and I’m happy to talk about this further.

          Sometimes people don’t have options. You know that, right? It sucks, but it’s true.

          You’re asking me for specifics I do not and could not possibly have without knowing your area and insisting that it’s a real question without being willing to put in any information to learn anything.

          I’m going to cut my losses on this conversation. If you want to learn more, I have faith that you can figure it out.
