“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me
In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

Crockett: When you're at war, you’re not worried about your outfit. If he was walking around in the fanciest suits, I'm sure that they would accuse him of taking our dollars and spending it on his wardrobe

This is Winston Churchill visiting the White House during World War II.

Funny how he isn’t wearing a suit either. Almost like he was a wartime leader defending his country from being slaughtered and wiped out by an authoritarian aggressor.

I've been thinking about how to explain the challenge of living with ME/CFS and created this cartoon visualization.

Imagine the life of someone without ME is a rainbow of activities that each take a certain amount of energy.

ME limits your energy, and thereby the vibrancy of your life.

Any ideas welcome!! 😊📖

🎤 Is this thing on?

How does this work? Do I need to use hashtags? Is there a #booksky? Does anyone here read #books? I figured I'd get more responses here than the *other* place, but it's crickets here, too!

#LongCovid is a multi-system disease affecting basically all organs and body systems. This is shown by thousands of publications and was already described by patient-researchers and advocates in the early pandemic. It can affect different people differently

There IS a left-wing agenda, and it’s to prioritize compassion over greed. Kindness isn't a limited resource.

This is exactly right. Trump’s big advantage is that he’s playing tic-tac-toe without a pencil but somehow convinces people he’s multiverse time-travel chess.
There’s a narrative that Gaetz was a deliberate head-fake — a distraction to boost the real candidate — but I am always suspicious of narratives that attribute four-dimensional chess to trump as opposed to knocking over the table and eating the checkers.

Criminal conduct and sexual deviance aside, most of these nominees are unqualified for the job.

That should be enough.

Education prevents all sorts of unwanted situations. Should be a TOP investment.
Most of our problems could be solved by properly funding public education.
