My local is outrageously good at Latin American stuff. Arepas in the freezer section are lit.
I don’t know WHY there’s Latin American stuff all over it, as the owners appear to be from the subcontinent, but it’s pretty good shit

My US workmate is not having a great day

You did used to be able to rent a coffin as a place to sleep.
Of course, that was in the times when one of your other sleeping options was “renting about a foot of rope to lean on while you slept standing up”…

I’ve been homeless, in large part because of the fact that I was severely mentally ill. I was homeless for a full year.
The solution you’re proposing would get wildly scary within about three weeks
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Saturday, 18 January, 2025 4 days ago:
Yeah.
Given the instability of a lot of the homeless community - through mental health issues, substance issues, interpersonal stuff which gets so much worse when you have nothing except what you can keep safely with you - having a shared dorm setting has the potential to get really sketch really fast.
I live pretty much next door to a homeless hub in the CBD. The community garden which we so carefully planted and cared for turned into a homeless encampment because of overflow from the outreach centre…and while some of the regulars were okay if you were courteous with them, some were really, REALLY not. We had a couple of deaths in our garden, and more close calls on top of that.
None of us who had built the garden felt safe using it, and it’s only recently - having had the area cleared, fenced off so we could fix it without more rough sleepers immediately moving in, and a regular rotation of working bees now that the fence has come down - that we do.
I don’t know what the answer is, sadly.

Flat clean. Lovely coffee meetup with a friend.
Today’s off to a good start

Back to work. Ugh

There is a logistical problem with that, unfortunately. There are only so many psychs in this country, and each psych can only see so many patients at a time
If we end up in a situation where demand outstrips supply (as it often does) and there’s no clear end point for moving into a less intensive phase of management we’re still going to have the same problem of “people, including quite acutely ill people, needing care and not getting it.”

Marge, babe, you couldn’t have waited five minutes?
It’s coming down in sheets and I’m soaked from head to foot, and I was only caught in it for two minutes

I bought this when I was 17. It’s done by a Native American artist who I can’t remember the name of but I want to say she was Navajo?
I kind of regret framing it, because the texture was so nice…
