☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Café, Safespace, and Playspace LA

Furries, therians, queers, steers, and everything in between are welcome to ☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Café and Safe/Playspace LA, a café, Safespace, and Playspace that's furry, therian, age player, and whatever-else-you-may-identify-as-friendly located in Los Angeles, California.☺️

Professionally, I'm known as cjxm. Don't call me cj. Please. I'm a gay, asexual, agender, intersex femboy that loves soft sparkly things (mostly pink) with an entrepreneurial spirit and a Captain Save-A-Ho complex that needs nurturing. I'm opening a kink-friendly café and safe space because safe spaces are rapidly disappearing across the world and I ain't havin' that shit.

When I was in college (I had to pause for a minute), I was houseless and had to watch my classmates eat without me. I couldn't afford a meal plan and slept outside in the cold. I couchsurfed for a bit but that didn't work out and I found out that a lot of people just tolerate you when you're down if you're not in their friendship circle or don't have family and friends to support you and stop talking to you when you're your most down---this was the UCLA landscape for me. And other people will just flat-out take advantage of you if they know you're nice, kind, and desperate. I've left those memories behind in favor of better ones, but that's been a hard journey to make.

I recently discovered that my mother had not in fact died, but was murdered, and the grief started all over again. I spent a summer living outside and sleeping on a piece of cardboard outside of a dentist's office with my service animal at my head to make sure he wasn't stolen. This is not the life a college student should live at all, let alone anyone that decides to cut toxic people off in favor of a better life. I spent the night in residence halls until the police were called, cafés, a Target bathroom, and finally, a restaurant patio where the owner let me sleep, though I was still exposed to the elements and crazy people threatening to cut me. I got some mace and ready to blind a bitch and stomp on them afterwards--I had no problem protecting myself while trying to sleep and going to school on five hours of sleep. Word got around quick that I was a crazy f@ggot that would stab you if you got near me or came to my spot.

Eventually (and unfortunately), I met a lesbian couple that let me stay with them a bit, but that out to be a nightmare in terms of control issues. Their relationship was dysfunctional and I did not want to be part of it. So, in the middle of the night, I fled.

Without going into too much detail, my life has sucked invariably and there's nothing I can do to change that. Not the past, anyway. I wanted to live inside like a normal person and focus on my studies (law, fashion ,film, dance, radio/television production, and math/physics) and not beg for food all the time. I couldn't focus on school work under those circumstances so I had to drop out. I watched all my classmates graduate. I cried. A lot. And still do. No one should live like this, and that's where

☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ comes in.☺️

Over my time of being houseless while trying to go to school, I spent the night in many restaurant booths, trying to work (graphic designer) and stay warm. A few different restaurants (IHOP, Denny's) allowed me to do that. They also bought and gave me food, and that helped me sustain myself .

I now want to return the favor by opening a café of my own, thus making sure no college student or any other person, tbh, ever has to be outside in the cold again. My saddest experience being houseless was needing to pee and no one allowing me to use their bathrooms, so I held my bladder for six hours and I'd held it for so long my nose started bleeding in distress. I'm tearing up remembering that from April 2020.

I was houseless because I had horrible, narcissist parents that hated me for the heinous crime of growing up and wanting to college. My mother frequently wished death upon me and I was sick of it (although I don't wish upon what to her in the slightest). So I left. And dragged the streets, trying to finish my degree. But back to the fundraiser.

Funds raised will go to:

▪️inventory️

▪️payroll

▪️ licenses

▪️ maintenance️

▪️permits

▪️upkeep of ServSafe Certification (I got mine in 2023✌, it was fight, I was literally houseless when I got it and couldn't afford the $300 registration fee because the expiration time had passed and it was my third time taking the class, I had been diagnosed with pre-cancer at the time and was in the process of being evicted due to non-payment of rent at the height of the pandemic, and it ruined my fucking housing track record, no one wants to rent to some that has an eviction, no matter WHAT the reason is, and it drives up your deposit amount if someone DOES decide to rent to you, ugh, the world we live in)

▪️decor

▪️real estate/rent

▪️legal⚖️

▪️insurance

▪️taxes

***URGENT: I need help to stay off the literal fucking streets y'all while opening this café and going to school. I want to finish my classes like a normal person, not in tattered clothing smelling like pee. Right now, I am staying in a room a friend initially shared with me while her husband was recovering in a coma in the hospital. I can barely afford the room. It's eighty dollars a night, and there's always the 12 hour panic before 11am of finding someone to loan me 200$ for two days and I'm tired of it. I want to grow and heal in a space and not have to worry about where I'm going to sleep the next night. I have diabetes and low iron and was diagnosed with pre-cancer, and being outside has almost killed me, several times.☹️

• My Venmo is cjxmcjxm (under business). Your help is greatly appreciated. Thank you for keeping me and my service animal inside

Because it's my business Venmo, it deducts 2.9%, so make up for the difference if you wish. Thank you for your support. Starting a business is really important to me and I HAVE to take care of myself in the process. I'm learning that I HAVE to take care of myself before I can take care of others. Lmk if u relate<3 Thank you again for your help

In addition to that, I owe $500 to my storage unit. They agreed to the amount and I need to have it paid by Tuesday, October 1st, 2024. This is the first storage unit I need to pay for. Those are the last things I have left before my mother was murdered. I also have another small storage unit (they're both small), I'd like help with for around $300 that's past due. I have to consolidate things and move on. And a phone bill that's $420 past due Is also like help with, but the first storage unit is the most important. I cannot reiterate that enough. Again, thank you so much for you help

☁️PUFFY CLOUDS☁️ IS ALSO A PLAYSPACE!!!!!!!

In addition to ☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ being a café, it is also going to be an 18+ soft playspace for kittens, pups, and age players or anyone who wants to come and safely experiment with their sexuality kinks. There's a lot goes into having an SOB (a Sexually-Orientated Business, I like how it's called an SOB, lmao), including zoning. It's important to have safe spaces to explore and play. I've been I'm heavily involved in kink my entire adult life, and I want to provide a nice safe space where you can have your dick sucked by your partner or pussy eaten by your best friend, or a little more than that. All with consent, of course. #ConsentIsSexy #NoMeansNo

Funds for the ☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Playspace will be delegated to:

▪️Licensing

▪️Legal

▪️Permits for a Sexually-Orientated Business

▪️Taxes

▪️condoms

▪️bedding

▪️furniture

▪️payroll

▪️insurance

▪️ cleaning supplies and laundry

As for the café, I want to sell ramen and have big vats of soup to share for free to those whom need it and I want meeting spaces and joy for all those whom step through the doors of ☁️PuffyClouds☁️.

I always want ☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Café and Safe/Playspace to be a home for anyone going through something, a place where they lay their head or take a nap and get something to eat. Yes, ☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Café will accept food stamps. Absolutely. And there will be food for everyone from vegans to carnivores and celiacs. I want nice pink couches and light-up tables and sewing machines and glitter and tassels and mood lights and pink curtains to make the place really feel like home. I want to serve deep fried carrots and soup and home-baked cookies from scratch and grits and eggs. I also want to serve a breakfast buffet with grits, eggs, ham, pancakes, sausage, cereal, cheese, and biscuits with lots of butter. Mmmmm butter and cream cheese. I can make butter. I dreamt of this very specific buffet while I was houseless and now I'm going to make it exist. My mother cooked those foods for us and I want to share them with y'all.

There will be regular events for everybody to attend. Age play parties, furry gatherings, therian scout-abouts, Dyke Nights♀️‍❤️‍‍(because I HAVE noticed a lack of lesbian safespaces in general, let's work on that within reason), gaming nights, alla doe's fun things.

I also want juice boxes for the little ones, both age players and kids alike.

☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Café will also have a stage for performances and karaoke.️ I've seen that in a few places and that's important to have in a café full of queers.✨✨

Let's make it happen.

First, start by keeping me and my service animal housed. Again, my Venmo is cjxmcjxm (under business, it won't show up under the regular Venmo search). Our room is about $80 per night and this is what I need help with the most.

COOKING!!!!!‍

I'll be hiring femboys as staff at

☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Café and Safe/Playspace LA, the closest thing we'll have to Femboy Hooters.☺️

Thank you for keeping me housed and making ☁️Puffy Clouds☁️ Café Safe/Playspace a real space where people can sit and fart and eat without being harassed. Again, safespace is rapidly disappearing in the United States, and I ain't havin' it. The kindest people to me were always strangers. Thank you, internet strangers. Your kindness has helped me survive and now it is time to move on and thrive. Survival mode sucks when it's constant.

Love Always,

cjxm☁️
