where does mayor wilson think homeless people are supposed to go after they get into a shelter?! this is incredibly shortsighted. we need to be working towards a housing future with affordable rents and long term stability.

loc stresses me out because they’re also major critics of the very basic state-wide protections from sweeps, but maybe i’ll send their lobbyist an email.

This sure looks a lot like the Mayor ousting an expert on long-term housing solutions to force internal administrative support for his camping ban (sweeps).

bigots collectively crashed out at the chance of losing power and tore the country apart. that's what happened. you don't gotta accept a little nibble of the blame for that to relate to mfs.

i also thought this, but when i was on the train yesterday there was a guy playing music off his shitty phone and there were three different people elsewhere on the train singing along and dancing to it. idk if it changed my mind but it gave me a new perspective.

Speaking of the mariners salmon run: I’m very happy that humpy finally got a w. THAT BEING SAID, humpy shouldn’t be losing all the time. There should be an Atlantic salmon that’s a constant loser. Pacific salmon supremacy.

well one is my personal computer but i’m no longer allowed to have my work email on it (even though i have my work email on my personal phone???), but it means i must lug both work and personal computer when im going from work to class because they also don’t want school on work computer.
