Hi I am in this exact situation and (depending on a couple external factors) will likely be PDX bound 🤞🤞🤞

flourhands.bsky.social•2 days ago

I'm in PDX. I can't do much but if anyone new to town needs a few meals while they get settled, I'd be happy to cook some stuff for ya.

bro-laren.bsky.social•2 days ago

My friend did this for me and it literally got me off the street. Thank you for being a helper

if you see this post and are thinking “well that’s nice but i don’t want to go to FUCKING PORTLAND” that’s fine please look at the quotes lol

melodisweetheart.bsky.social•2 days ago

Definitely second there’s more cities to go to than Portland. I’m in Salem. Eugene is also good.

deathcarpets.sisc.one•3 days ago

I will also just be a Person You Know in PDX. i’m not a social butterfly, i don’t have a huge roster of people to introduce you to but i know a handful of folks and i know a handful of ways to meet people. if i can help settling in a place that will be safe(er) and make it a home for you i want to

deathcarpets.sisc.one•3 days ago

cyanescens.bsky.social•3 days ago

Hello, fellow social worker! I’m an LCSW in private practice.

Worked at a community agency for many years & knew about lots of resources but it’s been almost a decade

hociconita.bsky.social•3 days ago

I just started a new, kinda sensitive gig, but historically I’ve been in unhoused advocacy! It’s a very cool, very rewarding, very soul crushing job!

cyanescens.bsky.social•3 days ago

lol yeah, that’s social work!

kathuryne.bsky.social•3 days ago

Glad to see this. If/when I end up near there I will come by and say hi.

hyperestis.bsky.social•3 days ago

ns4a2.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've driven 4 people cross the country to escape red states during his last presidency. I'm also in PDX, so I'm offering my help to the same aims as @deathcarpets.sisc.one

revvyonmain.bsky.social•3 days ago

In texas currently, leaving is not in my immediate reach but so long as this offer remains open I will have it close in mind!

caseinsensit1ve.bsky.social•2 days ago

What'd Texas do this time?

bluewitchcassandra.bsky.social•2 days ago

I wish I had the space to host people, but I know my apartment won’t allow it. And I’m just barely on my feet atm. But maybe just getting folks up and out of the red zones. Floridians, too, should hit me up. We can cry about ybor and look around all these seezonz the yanks dont shut up about.

bluewitchcassandra.bsky.social•2 days ago

(It’s me, im yanks, its been five years and i am still Disney princess enchanted every spring, fall and winter.)

absinthetwilight.bsky.social•3 days ago

Do you have any advice for other southern states? I'm in Georgia and probably having to move back to Florida in a month :(.

deathcarpets.sisc.one•3 days ago

i don’t really have advice other than move to a safer state if you can. i’m happy to boost for logistics support if you need it

absinthetwilight.bsky.social•3 days ago

*hug* thank you

absinthetwilight.bsky.social•3 days ago

Please! I've been crawling through Indeed in Buffalo (girlfriend is on the other side of the border from there) and Chicago with no luck so far. I also have a Gofundme, but I still feel bad about asking people to share it.

akillingword.bsky.social•2 days ago

I can help in LA

evangaylion.bsky.social•3 days ago

I am so happy to strategize for Chicago transplants! with a caveat that I will probably not be down to hang out a ton 🥴

deathcarpets.sisc.one•3 days ago

i will also not hang out a *ton* lmao i’m busy, my friends can’t even get me to not fall asleep during a movie night on a weeknight

evangaylion.bsky.social•3 days ago

Lilith I’m trying 2 be tactful here (I don’t hang out)

lucydango.bsky.social•2 days ago

This is a really cool thing to do

hexadecibelle.bsky.social•3 days ago

this is so beautiful 🩷

floodmyth.bsky.social•2 days ago

i've been rolling the idea around in my head of a "so you're a trans refugee who just moved to portland and don't know where anything is" guide, idk if there'd be any interest in something like that. like, a way to find fun places and people to make it feel like you're home instead of just surviving

deathcarpets.sisc.one•2 days ago

having you around as an informal that was a lifesaver

wheneverends.bsky.social•3 days ago

lilith helps u (💕)

findingmorgan.bsky.social•2 days ago

If you are looking for the Seattle area, let me know!

erinyes.diy•3 days ago

I can always help with Bay Area relocation also.

cyanescens.bsky.social•3 days ago

First, thank you for this!

Cis pdx guy, father of a trans kid. I’ve made similar offers to a couple of mutes on here & wondering if there are others offering similar support & if so, if setting up a contact list or something might be helpful so that if anyone isn’t available at the moment or has

laurenhudgins.bsky.social•3 days ago

Check out @tractionpnw.bsky.social, which is working on this and needs a lot more help. https://tractionpnw.org/

cyanescens.bsky.social•3 days ago

Awesome I will check it out! Thanks!

laurenhudgins.bsky.social•3 days ago

And this group is specifically focused on relocation. https://transrelocationfund.com/

cyanescens.bsky.social•3 days ago

Thanks again! I knew there had to be some folks already on this.

Checked & Traction has a program doing this that you can volunteer for in a few different capacities

cyanescens.bsky.social•3 days ago

Special skills/knowledge that is needed people looking for help can be put in touch with them & more can be helped w/o too much burden on any one person? I very much want to help anyone I can but want to be careful about over promising my availability.

Just a thought, happy to discuss further!

mrs-paperweight.bsky.social•3 days ago

It's like the LGBTQ community should form a non profit org to help less fortunate / ( refugee) LGBTQ people and families get away from unsafe red states. Perhaps with help from government people in safer states.

cyanescens.bsky.social•3 days ago

There seems to be some nonprofit orgs already doing this at least in some areas.
