My local library offers a selection of movies and a projector to watch them on! Honestly I think we should normalize going to the library for a date or hangout and, yeah, something like a regular Friday night library visit for movie night

I just made my first pot of stock the other day and turned it into soup and oh my god the BROTH

This is gorgeous!! The skyline reminds me of my hometown so it feels nostalgic in a way despite being something I haven’t seen before

Fuck it let’s go all the way. Replace the cars entirely

My hometown actually set up something like this, with small shed-sized houses that had heating and AC, communal bathrooms, and staff on-site in case anyone needed a hand with something (including professionals trained in addiction). Folks who stayed there report that it was absolutely life changing and enabled them to finally get a job and move into a real apartment or buy a house, get married and have kids, the works.

Unfortunately, the apartment buildings next door are all owned by one asshole who, like all landlords, abhors the idea of free housing and has argued against the encampment since it started. A lot of the people who live there are pretty noisy about it, too. They say that homeless people from the encampment are harassing them, breaking their windows, stealing from their cars, etc - essentially, anytime anyone’s an asshole to them, the asshole must have been from the encampment. Never mind that my hometown is known for having a high crime rate regardless…

So that’s discouraging. But the fact of the matter is that your idea is plausible and there’s tons of evidence to back it up!! And yeah, having a permanent, safe place to live is pretty damn life changing

No shame, survival is a worthy cause, maybe the most worthy

Thank you, I needed to hear this
