A little, piercing case-study of long-term military occupation #Gaza #BasicNeeds
"Maritime boundaries outlined in agreements since the 1993 Oslo Accords were rarely implemented on the water. The distances fishermen were permitted to travel in the sea constantly shifted, often shrinking without warning...
Months of Israeli starvation have turned fresh protein into a rarity; thus, fish is a special luxury"

"My daughter is not used to asking anyone for anything, but the difficult circumstances we are going through have made her beg you to help her meet her simple needs."

The two-way communication, including social media, which involves using devices with low latency, has made it easier for irresponsible people to hurt others. They will think or use every justification, such as too many people, the communicator's style being in a communication manner they personally dislike, the people communicating being of low-quality communication style, and many more. If I missed any contexts, please tell me!

No—encampment sweeps do not save cities money, and yes—corporations are increasingly acquiring single-family homes, making homeownership harder for individuals.

Atha and Inara are in Colorado now, but are being sent letters from upset car loan and credit companies now, and the #urgentmutualaid #urgentcrowdfund #urgentmutualaidrequest #mutualaid post I made asking for $2000 is getting much more pressing. Please help! We really don't want to reach the stage of courts and bankruptcies and repossessions.

The Nissan Leaf is a necessary runabout, as there are many places such as food banks, potential workplaces and supermarkets where bringing a bus in is impractical, not to mention expensive to use as a commuting or shopping vehicle.

The good news is they have been able to meet up with a lot of cool folks who are pointing them towards help with other things than money, such as mechanical work, an address, IT and healthcare.

I'd honestly rather pay taxes for this than the “America Last” agenda that Trump apparently has.

Bummed that I can't quote this, as I wanted to contribute.

Agree. 💯

And maybe there's another point here, that religious folk want these benefits to ONLY come from religion so they'll block the work to provide these to everyone. "Social policies don't work!" "Non-profits can do that!"

But do they? Are they actually effective at providing the services? Or do they function as marketing with a small side-benefit?

Anyone want to give @vulpinelabs @Kuniti_shino some food and a month's worth of backlogged laundry money?

Hungry engineers and mad scientists want to be fed well and cleanly clothed for their preparations for winter!

They are bureaucratically held back from "just getting a job" right now unless they can #getfedihired as #digitalnomads or informal work.

Edited: $300/$100 for today and tomorrow and some groceries! Thanks!!!

🌿 BASIC NEEDS: How Easy Life Flows When Reduced to Simple Basic Needs

When life is reduced to food, shelter, clothing, and peace of mind, everything flows with ease. Simplicity isn’t lack — it’s freedom. 🌱

Anyone got a good source on how much someone/a group really does need for self-sufficiency? (I'm assuming a bit of trade with other groups... all the more reason to learn from someone who's done their homework. So many variables - soil quality, latitude and local climate, what else?) #Foodandwaterhandbook #basicneeds

Why we need a #solidarity #economy now

As the #US faces historic cuts to the #socialsafetynet, local #economic alternatives can meet #basicneeds and provide #opportunities to #organize for a better future.

Every time you eat be grateful for it because hundreds of millions of people are still starving now. Be grateful for whatever food you have, no matter how much it is. Food is a basic human need that no human being throughout history can deny.

Robert Ellis Thompson, Presbyterian minister, sees the hand of God in US history. Covetousness threatens the US, breeds conspicuous consumption, and envy by the poor. It brings to the US the old problems of the Old World.

Today, some will agree with Thompson on warning poor, but also warn those who warn about ostentation.

How can you avoid covetousness, of those above you, or for that which you do not yet possess?

Those who received the $750 monthly #stipend were less likely to remain #unsheltered and closer to having enough #money to meet all of their #basicNeeds as compared to a control group who accessed usual #homeless services.

More importantly, the initial findings dispels this #myth that people will use money for #illicit purposes.

Only about 2% of the $750 per month was spent on #alcohol, #cigarettes, or #drugs; the majority of that money was spent on cigarettes.
