@kafkaesqueNomad keeping apartment > defenestration of ableist asshole, no matter how tempting, for sure

@kafkaesqueNomad i'm starting to have similar problems at my place over the past while. i appear to have an alt-right or alt-right leaning (heavily leaning) next door neighbor now, and rent keeps going up.

otoh, i have a stable routine, and moving means a) changing that routine, which would get sorted eventually, but b) ??? in terms of rent increases and/or the apartment being some sort of mess/death trap/something c) relocating and all that comes with that

@shoutcacophony

I just hope you're safe...

@kafkaesqueNomad so far, yes. my main worry (and what i'm watching out for) is things starting to escalate in the building.

there was a stretch where there were actual nazis across the street (transcript: "seig heil!" in unison at random hours for a couple of months or so), which has passed, but the larger pattern is like o.O what.

also, pepe sticker down the road and four blocks over or so, but that was a few months back.

threw the pepe sticker away, done

@kafkaesqueNomad and drunken "white lives matter" BS a few doors down around a year ago. good times

it's going to take a fair amount of that for this block/area to become a sort of frat row, but i'm seeing signs of it, and worse, point being.

i'm working on plans to get out (and accelerating them)

@shoutcacophony

Hope I can at least help financially (a bit) when you need it..

@kafkaesqueNomad I'm doing ok that way, actually. Pass it on to someone in more need :)

Also, just talking about it helps. ty!

@shoutcacophony

^_^ I'm glad.

I had some fun the last time the racist one was here, though. ^,^

Cornered her enough in conversation to make her intensify on her slurs.
Told her a few things about colonialism. Not the obviously racism related parts, but in a way it must have clicked after a while. In a way it was exciting to wait for her reaction. She's practically my training dummy for voicing my opinion. (Not much but it's progress)
