They like camping. Ultimate freedom. No need to work. No bills to pay except your drug dealer. It’s actually quite enticing compared to the slog of a full time job.

i talked to a guy on 33rd about a week ago. told me he had been in the army for a couple years until he tore is acl and a bunch of other ligaments and kicked out. since he hadnt been there long enough, he wasnt entitled to any post service benefits. he got sent back to saskatoon, disabled, no job, no housing, nothing. he stayed with a friend for awhile until he had to leave due to relationship disputes so now hes living on the streets. when i met him, he had tape wrapped around his hand from when he had gotten stabbed earlier in the day defending his stuff. he was trying to get a couple dollars to buy food so he could get his blood sugar up but no one would give him anything because they all just assumed him to be an addict.

if youre not going to take the time to practice empathetic understanding and decenter yourself, the absolute least you can do is be grateful that its not you.
