I am living with my janky family in a trashy ass conservative city (a little bit of liberalism lurks around). I attempted to apply for a job twice and got ghosted both times. And I am very limited with buying shit for myself because I have very little money. And there is no active Marxist organizations in my city that I know of. I don’t know how to get money and I don’t know what to do at all.

    My goto advice to find yourself: control your sleep, make some exercise, learn meditation, and find stuff to read. Avoid algorithmic feeds like the plague.

    Once you find your center, go find community social activities (even if that’s church), make a routine around them, and listen to the people, and their issues. Offer a counterpoint where it makes sense.

    Organising is about being mentally and physically ready, understanding the needs of people around you, and committing to solve some of these problems.

    These assume you don’t have immediate shelter, food, safety needs, which doesn’t sound you do. So… Hope it makes sense, good luck!

    And yeah, job hunting is a numbers game. For every 1000 applications, 10 interviews, 1 offer, on a good run.
