Live and recent posts from across the Fediverse tagged #homelessnessisnotacrime, aggregated by home.social.

  1. EDIT: car insurance is now only 1 month behind instead of 3! Let's see what else we can do to improve this situation, fedi!

    Atha is bureaucratically and politically disabled from getting a job for a while.
    Inamruzui is partly disabled by POTS and sleep issues. Employment is not a simple matter for them to arrange.

    Atha was at the food bank yesterday and was given two small shopping bags of canned and dried food for hir and Inamruzui to last a month. Let's raise some funds for the rest of their grocery needs! $300 might be a good start for that.

    Let's take another chunk out of Atha's debts! The IRS is being ass, cranking up its non-payment fees. They alone want $860ish. The rest of this part of the request goes to credit cards and car loan and car insurance, with any small change for food.
    #MUTUALAID #URGENTMUTUALAID
    $373.98/$2500 for debts and bills this week!

    Then there's the matter of solar batteries: the #Vulpibus systems struggle to store enough energy to keep running overnight in winter.
    We need to get them AT LEAST 2 more (ideally 10 more) batteries at around $250 a pop. So $500 (ideally $2500)
    Any small change from that goes to cable crimps and mounting hardware.
    They also need battery insulation and heaters!

    Then there's the matter of insulating more of the bus itself. Not only is the insulation itself needed, so is something to hold it all in place. A layer of thin plywood would be good. Also not a cheap matter.

    The bus grows heavier as more is added to it, so care needs to be taken to choose lightweight but sturdy things to fit.

    If you are looking for someone interesting to host in their vehicles on your homestead a while in Colorado, give us a DM.

  6. Who else is tired of townships, Karens, NIMBYs and cops forcing homeless people to move round instead of get their lives together in one place?

  7. EBO Contributing Member Jennifer van Gennip gets back to her ranting roots for an essay on the long history of using drugs and drug laws to "other", and criminalize groups who are politically inconvenient.

  8. Most letter writers to our local newspaper, #TimesColonist are quite conservative & cruel in how they think about marginalized peoples. You rarely see compassion in TC letters published, that Mr. Chris Holiday has shown. I don't know the person but grateful locals like them exist.

    "Give more respect to those unhoused
    I have been appalled at the increasing level of stigmatization and hatred directed toward the unhoused population.

    I live on Pandora Avenue and frequently walk by individuals suffering most severely from our province’s housing crisis. I’ve witnessed individuals in crisis and using threatening language towards passersby but I have also witnessed verbal harassment of unhoused individuals coming from the balconies of luxury apartments.

    Public safety is a two-way street, everyone deserves the right to safety and dignity. A 2023 study by the Ministry of Housing reports that 67% of unhoused individuals have lived in their community for more than five years and 23% for their entire lives.

    These are our neighbours, and they deserve respect just as much as us who are housed.

  13. In #VictoriaBC - you get in trouble from bylaw officers if you cook/feed the poor & houseless folks in Summer. You don't get in much trouble & usually left alone in cold, freezing weather in Winter because bylaw officers won't patrol much when conditions are miserable out. I learned that from past lived experiences when trying to cook outside to feed #hungry & #houseless folks.

    I wouldn't feel the need to keep trying to feed people here if our governments, & our society as a whole, didn't treat houseless folks like they're not human & not deserving of kindness, compassion & understanding. Some of us citizens have got in trouble for trying to feed people - when the people trying to punish people like me aren't doing much to help feed & house the folks who need to be fed & housed the most.

    I'm not a criminal. The heartless governments & ignorant people who #stigmatize hungry, houseless folks, while doing shit all to help out, are the real criminals in our society.

    I will ALWAYS try to feed the hungry, without judgements. I hope more people will also go out to feed the hungry, without judgements. We - the grassroots citizens, who care - are local humanity in action. We need to keep trying to help folks in our own communities, as much as we can. We need to keep resisting the fascists who try to destroy our efforts.

    Cruel fascists are no benefit to any community. Whether they're elected officials or not. The houseless are part of all of our communities. They don't deserve to be ignored & treated like lesser than humans.
