@bridgietherease There’s a part that goes “Goodnight nobody.” Like it’s part of the pattern of the story. Feels like the floors should be black and white squares….

This fall, I got an e-mail from a guy named JM Simpson who'd read things I'd written about homelessness. He mentioned he was a photojournalist in Olympia and that he'd been photographing the unhoused population there. He wanted to share some work with me . . . (1)

Thinking of these Hunter S. Thompson words again, which he wrote one week after 9/11, which basically called the 21st Century

Last thing, maybe there IS room for a shift in thinking. But that comes with understanding homelessness as a wages, medical costs, housing issue NOT a personal character or mental health issue. Is that a destigamtizing shift? I guess. But it’s political economy not linguistics

[Quinn @QuinnTELPRO]

Been saying it. Always wondered who this euphemism was for or what it is supposed to achieve. Never heard a single homeless person insist on this, or that ‘homeless’ is dehumanizing somehow.

Wanna know what’s really dehumanizing?…Living on the street. Maybe we focus on that.

[Quinn @QuinnTELPRO]

The idea here is that “poor” is the one “identity” we should eliminate. Say, no more poverty and therefore no more poor people. Don’t say, de-stigmatize the poor. I don’t want to live in a world where we are comfortable w/ the homeless because we call them by a different name.
