#homeless benefits

[echo-goes-mmm]

So we all the love the whumpee-thinks-caretaker-is-their-new-master trope but what if it's true

Caretaker who did buy whumpee, and who does wholeheartedly believes and acts like whumpee belongs to them

But damn it they take great care of their possessions. After all, cats and dogs get spoiled with treats and comfy beds and vet visits when they're sick and cuddles and a form of love

Why should a slave be any different? Especially because caretaker bought whumpee for companionship

Plus whumpee can tidy up, cook for themselves, hold a conversation, and even play games like cards or board games, and can go everywhere caretaker can

That's infinitely better than a cat or dog.

It's just such a shame their old owner was so terrible. Whumpee is so timid now, and nearly skin and bone. But that's nothing a good owner can't fix, right? The poor thing needs some proper structure and attention that's all. It's a good thing whumpee is human. It would be a lot harder to rehabilitate a rescue who can't comprehend speech.

And whumpee doesn't want to leave. Fetching files from a desk and playing checkers and occasionally cleaning the kitchen while master chatters about work is far better than being locked in a cold basement and getting beaten every day

Their new master doesn't lay a hand on them, their version of punishment is no music while doing chores, or no dessert

After all, you wouldn't hit your dog. Caretaker's new pet deserves at least that

#carewhumper #i suppose but caretaker isnt super whumpy here #whump #this is super indulgent #pet whump #i guess but not really #slavery whump #yeah that fits better #its the good master trope #yeah yeah we all know slavery is bad #this is fiction get off your high horse #but like wouldn't this be nice for whumpee?? #its the benefits of being owned (protection. doesn't have to worry about bills/homelessness. possessiveness as care against other whumpers) #plus being told whats right and wrong you dont have to think much as long as caretaker is Clear #without much of the drawbacks of being a whumpee (torture. starvation. lack of social interaction) #i imagine this world is like your typical fantasy/medieval world #caretaker is probably wealthy or a lord with an estate and servants #caretaker got lonely maybe. wanted someone in their life more personally attached than hired help #like personal assistant meets pet whump meets default friend #i do think whumpee and caretaker would become close friends #Meet caretaker: a minor lord who recently inherited the title! #Meet whumpee: caretaker's new slave whos just happy to be fed and have his own bed #journey with them as they navigate the condescension and annoyances of the royal courts! #caretaker needs a friend they can trust while whumpee discovers that they deserve affectionate actually #hurt/comfort shenanigans ensue #head chef edna just wants everyone fed #whumpee have a cookie challenge #get that whumpee a meal #my writing

Reading some more books about autism ! I don't quite know if I'm on the spectrum (a lot of tests seem to lean towards yes) but still! A lot of them make the very lonely person inside me feel seen and understood a little more than before :]

#im not gonna lie im a little hesitant to get seriously tested. a lot of professionals think its a trendy tik tok thing and i have a feeling #that i wouldnt be taken seriously anyway #besides in the us theres pretty much no benefit to being professionally diagnosed as an adult and only consequences #i also think i need to find a therapist who specializes in cptsd cuz boy howdy. theres a lot of other stuff underlying that has sat dusty #in my brain for a long time #i just need a psychologist thats willing to get down and dirty with my trauma because i sure am not good at it on my own #also if anyone knows anytging about house fires leaving you technically homeless at the age of 9 and how that affected you in life. #shoot it my way lol

[cleromancy]

god ppl trying to claim jasons "we're the not so different you and i" villain speech to mia WASNT incredibly unsubtle subtext... that they went through the same trauma... like he says theyre alike. she says he knows nothing about her. he lists what he knows. and then he repeats that they're alike.

that's only barely subtext and not text itself, man. trying to argue that isn't the intention that jason was also a csa victim is just willful misreading at that point

#also i love it when ppl only ever bring up mia when they want to shit on jason #and very transparently pretend to care about her and be Very Angry about all the traits that jason ~stole from her #conveniently ignoring that winick (who liked exploring the connections btwn bats and arrows) actually tweaked mias backstory 2 make it more+ #like jasons (adding in the homelessness vs smiths version which was the less sensationalized familial trafficking) #because... get this... the characters were canonically in conversation with each other... the text explores what they have in common... #yknow. like stories do. #almost as if that was why jason was IN MIAS STORY IN THE FIRST PLACE #ALMOST AS IF JASON WAS THERE FOR HER CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT. NOT THE OTHER WAY AROUND #WHAT DOES IT DO FOR MIAS CHARACTER IF YOU PRETEND THAT SUBTEXT ISNT THERE? #the whole reason he could get under her skin the way he did was because of what they had in common. thats why shes so rattled #what does it benefit mia if you take that layer away lol. how does that enrich her story at all #trick question none of these ppl have given mia a single thought in their fucking lives

"other countries have poor people but worse, don't speak usamerican" fuck you actually. Shiver in my freezing ass cockroach infested poisoned water mold ladened lead paint flaking ass apartment with me. "At least you're not the REAL poor or getting bombed or whatever" repeat what you said back slowly and then jump into the poisioned river down my street. Starve with me. Bitch.

#Big difference between us centricism and BEING A POOR PERSON AND TALKING ABOUT IT Jesus christ #You are a tar pit. #☠️ #'Solidarity but for only if you're suffering in the right country in the correct way' go to hell. #'homeless and poor people in the US benefit from imperialism' in the abstract yes but also do you FUCKING HEAR YOURSELF #Are you fucking insane #If your big ideologal stance is really 'not being bombed is a privilege and it's even MORE of one if you're in a Bad Country' #we are past the point of no return. #Also I'm gonna say it but just because the us found a way to profit off of queer people and claims they won't hate crime them #Doesn't mean it's not more or less illegal to be queer here I can't. Stress enough. If you can't rent an apartment #or hold a job because you're queer. That's just a slow winter or summer death here. You know but you refuse to actually understand. #I don't need your compassion it doesn't matter to me that much. I have real problems to deal with. #But again. You're a fucking tar pit. Hope your soul never finds rest.

love when people ask me why im chill with rough things. bestie you have no idea how difficult i am to live with. im as chill as i can w my friends bpd mood swings because im an irrational bitch sometimes and i think the most constructive thing to do is to provide support through it. i give to homeless ppl collecting downtown because i know how this whole depression-school struggles-etc would've worked out for me if i hadn't lucked out in a family with ressources, and how it could still turn if my parents cut me off or smth. "ooooh you give too much" and i feel bad about it, and greedy, and im mad abt losing money, and im mad people might be looking at me, and i'm mad not everybody is looking at my good deed. and it's still not enough. and i know i CAN afford that, i could probably afford MORE, and i hope it helps out a little. money or patience. i wish i could, if not be better, at least have some way to quantify my usefulness. i hope im not fumbling anything. i cant just go through life being an asshole without weighting a little the other side of the balance at least. i dont get agressive when an acquintance acts cold or a little rude towards me because i do not give a shit what's girl-from-bio-class' prejudice. i dont care she pushed a chair to me in a dismissive manner. sure i want to be liked but i dont think she thinks im a bad person or anything so she can subjectively dislike me all she wants. "defend yourself" dang from what. mild passive-agressivity? maybe im just apathetic but like. bestie i love you and we have a good relationship but you have been more harmful to me in the past week than this mildly rude behavior.

#while my situation is not fun exactly #i also benefit from a LOT of leeway and options despite it bc my parents are rich and let me do what i want. #i know people whose parents are nowhere near as chill w their struggles #the very least i can do is not be a complete leech to the world around me #broadcasting my misery #vent #i dunno what's the point but some of my friends seem to think im some kind of naive little creature who needs to be protected #from evil beggars guilting me into giving them all my money #like bestie what are these 2 euros piece gonna buy for me. nothing good. you've guilted me more than any homeless guy ever did.

i just feel like they should pay you to apply for jobs

#then again that's basically what the government is doing by going well if you DON'T apply for jobs and go to loads of trouble to prove #that you're doing so constantly then we'll cut your benefits and not give you any money and you can just starve and be homeless #but. ugh it's so much trouble especially when you have undiagnosed adhd and are bad at concentrating on stuff

[mariacallous]

Everyone wants homelessness to go away, but almost no one wants to actually implement or pay for it, and instead just want homeless people to either "stop being homeless" or "go elsewhere" or simply die.

#most people don't realize how tenuous housing is for most people in this country #and how many homeless individuals work - sometimes full-time - and have to fight to constantly reinstate their benefits

[froglemonade]

INPRNT ACCEPTED MY APPLICATION!!! yippeee get ready to spend money on my shit

#will upload the homeless benefit posters as well so if ppl want to buy those online they can #proceeds still go to homeless people and not me #rest of my artworks proceeds will go to me tho

[notjanine]

the post-grad unemployment blues have not been helping my annual summer depression, so my brain has been... not great. my lease is up in just a few days, but i can't move into a new apartment until i know where i'll be working. i'm having to put all my shit in storage until i can find something. it's been rough.* but i spent a few days at Books' this week and even though everything sucks, they did a lovely job cheering me up. when i got to theirs, they surprised me with a silly and refreshing beverage i'd previously mentioned in passing that i wanted to try** and this book that they picked up from work.*** then they took me to their campus so we could play board games on the massive group study tables.**** we got dinner at my favorite ethiopian place in the city. we cozied up in bed and double featured they cloned tyrone and the lighthouse (which they hadn't seen before). i finally got to an alamo drafthouse weird wednesday! we saw let the corpses tan,***** after a delightfully nasty late night diner breakfast. we played mario kart and i lost, terribly, but still had fun.

i also had an interview yesterday, for a job that sounds like a great fit for me.****** all of my interviews so far have been strange, for one reason or another, but this one may have been the strangest- because halfway through, the interviewer started pitching me a different position that sounds AMAZING.******* i'd be happy with either. i really hope this works out. i should be having a second interview next week.

i'm back at my apartment now and i have to be out by monday afternoon. i'm glad to be leaving this place, even though things are still so up in the air. and even though i haven't been my best lately, i'm glad to know that i am still loved.

#*i am about to be lower case h homeless but i am very lucky that i have enough support to make it through this without tremendous difficulty #however i might have to go back home which... i do not feel ready for. and i don't want to be away from Books for too long #**i'm in t*xas so there are hardcore topo chico heads and i had never had it before #i didn't care until a friend was talking about how much she hated it bc it was like drinking tv static #***i had already packed my books and only left one fiction book unpacked to read while i'm going thru this and this one is verrrry differen #which is good i need variety! #****everdell is like Our Game and the wee tables in my apt are only just big enough to play on (no room in Books' tiny studio to play it) #and Books also has the spirecrest expansion- but we hadn't gotten to play bc we didn't have the space! #it was so fun to actually do such a big game (it took maybe two hours and the entire six foot table lmao) #(i won but it was close! which usually happens when we play games we're well-matched but not too competitive so it's always a fun challenge #***** LOVED it #******similar to but more intense and challenging than my fav internship rotation. at a cool and pretty unique hospital in a great location #*******full time w benefits and travel. it sounds... SO good for my adhd. lots of novelty and adapting to new situations!

If you ever thought about working for petco;

Don’t lmao

#I’ve wanted to walk out so many times that’s all you need to know #it keeps us from being homeless that’s the only benefit #I’d put more effort into job hunting but #people (including myself) need to stop getting sick and/or dying first…….

the US, sending Eleanor Roosevelt to be the Chair of the drafting committee in charge of creating the Universal Declaration for Human Rights:

[Image Description: a screenshot from the United Nations website. It reads, "Article 25: 1. Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and his family, including food, clothing, housing and medical care and necessary social services, and the right to security in the event of unemployment, sickness, disability, widowhood, old age or other lack of livelihood in circumstances beyond his control." End of image description.]

the US: ok so how do we do that

the US: oh, i know! :)

the US:

[Image Description: 2 screenshots from google. The first says, "Types / Types of hostile architecture". In bold are the words "This list is far from exhaustive and is in no particular order." Followed by a bulleted list with many entries that trail off, reading:

"Slanted benches: More than just an uncomfortable seat. ...

Armrests on benches: They're not for your arms. ...

Rocky pavements: The reason behind unusual paving...

Spiked windowsills: Not just for the birds. ...

Segmented benches: An unusual design with a purpose."

The listing has a link with the text reading "More items..." and is from an article titled "15 Examples of 'Anti-Homeless' Hostile Architecture" from interestingengineering.com, November 22, 2020.

It then has another section titled "Cost / Hostile architecture cost" with a blurb that reads "It costs taxpayers $31,065 a year to criminalize a single person suffering from homelessness — through enforcement of unconstitutional anti-panhandling laws, hostile architecture, police raids of homeless encampments, and just general harassment. The cost of providing them supportive housing — $10,051 per year." The section is from an article entitled "The Cost to Criminalize Homelessness" from homelessvoice.org, May 10, 2021.

The second screenshot says, "Purpose / What is the point of hostile architecture" with a blurb that reads, "Hostile architecture is an urban-design strategy that uses elements of the built environment to purposefully guide or restrict behaviour. It often targets people who use or rely on public space more than others, such as youth, poor people, and homeless people, by restricting the physical behaviours they can engage in." This section is from the Wikipedia article for Hostile Architecture.

The last section is titled "Pros / Pros of hostile architecture" with a blurb that reads, "By preventing loitering, hostile architecture discourages drug drops and pushes out the homeless (CNN). These eyesores, which somewhat resemble medieval torture methods, allow hostility to permeate public spaces." This section is from an article entitled, "Hostile Architecture - Dear Asian Youth" from dearasianyouth.org, February 21, 2021.

the US: omg we did such a good job these things totally match we definitely fixed the problem instead of making it worse or harming more people :)))

oh cool they called me sir and were like "this is about canada" yea no shit im canadian and it says that in the headline. clearly didnt bother checkin my page at all after seein i reblogged to gain aaany further context so i am discountin this as internet strangers being internet strangers lookin for shit to start fights not actually giving a shit about the world.

#also annoyed cause they post activist stuff and like.... do u think being an asshole to someone randomly is gunna draw them in to ur cause? #do u think all the homeless ppl we want to empower are perfectly politically correct leftists? #like man.... lead with benefit of the doubt as much as possible and try to teach ppl if u want change. #sure some people just need a punch in the face but if thats your go to theres a problem? #nuance people. nuance.

My brother doesn’t know the irony of responding to him having white privilege with “i don’t care about race, i just care about humans”

#he thinks white privilege is BS #fucking idiot #homeless white people still have white privilege #just because they're not fortunate doesn't mean they dont have it!!!! #i have white privilege and i know it!!! doesn't make me racist!!!! #there's a thing called growth u know #i was racist and have made dumb and inherently racist comments in the past #i've benefited from my white privilege #but i learned and grew #admitting you have white privilege is not bad #it's being aware
