[Content Note: Homophobia, Homelessness]
I'm having a touch of a family emergency on my end; folks who follow the Shakesville Open Threads and Slacktiverse Posts have already pieced together the situation more than I have time to go into now, but the short version is that my teenage lesbian niece is essentially homeless right now and I'm going to be AFK periodically through the rest of the week while we try to grapple with this. Which means that direct questions, comments, concerns, and emails will stew in my inbox until I have a chance to dig myself back out of the hole.
Please continue to comment as usual (getting the comments on my phone makes me happy) and thank you to everyone who embuddied me on NaNo -- I'll accept your friend requests just as soon as I can because ZOMG FRIENDS.
Religious prayers and/or secular happy thoughts on behalf of my niece at this time -- and for her-mother-my-sister, because the situation is apparently a lot more complicated than I originally realized -- are very welcome on ya'll's end.

Best of luck to your niece.
I assume it's not viable for her to move in with you?
Secular happy thoughts all around, and I'm hoping for a good resolution for all of you.
I hope things work out well for everyone. Don't forget to take care of yourself, too!
Lots of secular happy thoughts here too! Or, ah, maybe something a little less peppy? Best wishes, at any rate. I hope everything works out.
Warm fuzzy thoughts for both you and your niece.
Happy thoughts for your niece, and thoughts for a successful resolution that puts them in a better position than where they were when this started.
All the best to you and yours.
Secularly hoping for everyone involved.
Positive energy and thoughts sent to you and yours hoping for the best of this situation
Good luck with this business; hope everything resolves well.
Shoot, don't rightly know what to say. All best wishes for you, your niece, your sister/her mom, and anyone else out in your direction who needs 'em. I hope the situation resolves well for all involved.
Supportive thoughts for you and your family. Best wishes for a resolution that is satisfactory and safe for all involved.
Thinking hopeful thoughts for you and your family.
And, if anyone wants to send some hopeful thoughts my way in what's kind of an inverse situation-- daughter is moving back home after meeting with some job/living situation/relationship setbacks, and I expect things to be rather tense-- I'd appreciate it.
I wish I could help (I have empty rooms) but alas I am far away.
You and she have my hopes and prayers. And hugs if you want them.
Hugs and hopes. Don't know the situation, just hope everyone comes out of it ok.
You and Anna and family have my best wishes.
I sincerely hope that things work out with your niece. It's very hard to have to deal with that sort of situation, and you're a great aunt for getting into it to help.
The goodest of vibes sent to you Amaryllis.
Hope everything works out for your niece. My friend in high school was kicked out of her house, essentially just because she is bi-polar, and she lived with me at my parents house for about 2 years total. When she graduated she paid my mom rent sometimes but wasn't (and still isn't) really able to hold a job due to being bi-polar that's untreated and unsupported. I mean, we supported her but it really isn't the same when your own mom kicks you out because your mental illness disturbs the perfect facade of her life.
It is a terrible situation to be in, but I'll keep you and her in my thoughts. Whatever that counts for.
Secular happy thoughts and best wishes are sent your niece's way, Ana. Amaryllis' family gets them too.
Oh, that's not good. Best wishes for everyone involved.
Best wishes.
Thanks, everyone.
