You’ll never guess but the solution to people not having money is to give them money.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

I want to give some emphasis here that Daisuke here seems to be using a basic bitmap drawing program, much of the likes of MSPaint, so you too can make your artwork on any accessible medium you count with.
Last year Daisuke Amaya (the creator of Cave Story) began drawing a really cute web comic series about a cat girl artist trying to find love. It's called Ame Choco Gamila and can be read on Daisuke’s website in JP and English. Highly recommend giving it a read!

Our founders, though deeply flawed, understood that democracy requires an informed citizenry and a government accountable to it people. That’s why the press is the only profession protected by the Constitution. It’s also why autocrats and oligarchs seek to control and destroy it.

Memorize this for when “sensible moderate” politicians try to get you to throw your trans friends and relatives under the bus. Not only is it shitty and evil, it’s (say it with me) BAD POLITICS!
very excited to have my response included in the latest Boston Review forum against Democratic moderation! here it is, my best argument for why Dems shouldn't "moderate" on transgender rights & LGBTQ issues more generally (as they are inextricably linked): www.bostonreview.net/forum/how-no...

The behavior of our big beautiful billionaires over the past several decades is psychologically what I can only describe as "Crying out for consequences." They can't stop themselves and deep down they need to be stopped. They need it as much as we do
