@GethousedRuthie @nut_history @CleGuardians I am also partial toward Juan Eichelberger who graced your team with fleeting ineptitude.

@GethousedRuthie @nut_history Ruthie, in deference to your hometown team how about Horace Speed?

In Georgia, a mom facing eviction reached out to DFCS for help. They offered her nothing. Soon the agency took her kids away because of "inadequate housing."

The state then spent $6,200/month to house her kids in foster care.

@ChefReactions It tastes like you toasted something and forgot to take the saran wrap off.

@AdamCSharp Growing up with Berlin born mom know it well. The other constant word was dussbuttl (sp) meaning lovable idiot for when you called something common a dingsbums.

This should preface every discussion of the issue. We are in the absurd position of fighting so people can live in subhuman conditions. The issue is the commodification of housing and the extraction of wealth from the poor. This has to frame every conversation on the issue.

"Some of it is about resource constraints... so advocates sometimes end up defending situations that, while far less than ideal, seem preferable to forcing unhoused people into living situations they don’t want." This is a core dilemma.

If a person sleeping outside turns down a shelter bed, what should be done?

for @voxdotcom I looked at how pressure to clear tent encampments has entangled with national debates about forced treatment and the “Housing First” approach to homelessness

It is no exaggeration to say that the @500SongsPodcast is one of the absolute best things to happen to me in my 50s. Slightly behind my kids getting married, slightly above discovering the music of Grant Green. Way above just about everything else!

⚫live in better neighborhoods,
⚫are less likely to be incarcerated.
