China has a massive housing surplus - and while the article frames an entirely negative narrative with selective use of terms like 'overbuilt' and 'under-used' hard to read it with anything but jealousy.

Conspicuously absent are any references to homelessness rates.

Patrick Fealey's account of his #homelessness is the best piece of #journalism you will read today: https://www.esquire.com/news-politics/a62875397/homelessness-in-america/?src=longreads


"Urban Alchemy was founded in late 2018 with the purpose of creating career pathways for returning citizens, primarily those who were serving long term or life sentences.

Beginning in San Francisco and Los Angeles providing street cleaning, public restroom monitoring and activating public spaces, today we have grown into a thriving social enterprise with over 1,300 Practitioners (staff) and operations in #California, #Oregon, #Texas, and #Alabama. Our groundbreaking initiatives, programs and services are built on science, research and best practices and rooted in love, respect, and empathy, for traumatized people and communities."

Is the best way of helping the homeless to give them cash payments?

Intuitively some people resist such measures as they think the homeless will just buy drugs or booze with the money - they offer the homeless a cup of coffee or a sandwich instead.

Now, a study aims to test the Q. and find out how homeless actually *do* use cash payments, on a larger scale than previous very small scale experiments.

Interesting to see how this simple action plays out.

UPDATE RE: MY ESCAPE FROM VIOLENT ABLEST PHYSICAL AND MENTAL ABUSE

1/2

Good morning Mastodonians, emphasis on "good"! I have made my escape over the wall across enemy lines from abuse, and I am recovering in the resistance safe house. Translation for any "Neurotyps" out there: I've escaped my very abusive living situation and I'm finally in a place that feels like a home… like my home.

I'm waiting for someone to pinch me and wake me up because never in a thousand therapeutic escapist daydreams could I have imagined the wonderful things that have happened to me in many areas of my life in the past few weeks. I'm home in a healthy, happy, healing, nurturing, creative, neurodivergent place with a wonderfully accommodating person of like mind and spirit.

Believe it or not considering everywhere I've been, I now live in an area that I've never been before. I'm surrounded by nature's beauty outside my home, and beauty, peace, love, and sanctuary inside.

There are so many opportunities for me here, and I'm extremely excited to have not only a new creative partner, but a partner in OutOfExile_IDR efforts with the same fiery passion as I.

Among many other creative endeavors, we are also collaborating on music. This stellar individual has helped me to remember that despite having a limb difference disability (one functioning hand), I am still a highly skilled musician with decades of experience I thought I lost after my accident(s). As a result of the inspiration that comes from combining with this person, I'm teaching myself to play guitar again, left-handed.

And best of all, this person has a punctuation fetish. You've read my stuff, right? They keep my creative meanderings in check. What a perfect yin to my yang.
