Another fucking lib was lecturing me that the only choice I have is which guy I endorse to commit genocide and I broke down and listed all the shit I’ve done fighting for a better world my whole fucking life, all the trauma, all the pain, all the horror, all the hard work and sweat and tears and misery and frustration. And they just smugly replied “Oh yeah I’m very political myself I’ve seen people like you and we just let you pretend to be freedom fighters” and I hate them all so much.
That shit does matter. From what I understand the majority of homeless people are homeless for relatively short periods of time before finding some kind of housing, even unstable or temporary housing. As awful as shelters can be, a few stable nights and some hot meals are the difference between short term and long term homelessness for some people. You’re doing good work.
