    I think bums deserve respect and kindness from all of us. A lot of the time bums suffer from mental health issues caused by shame and trauma and that needs to be addressed with care and humility. These are human beings and how we treat our most vulnerable is a greater reflection of how we treat each other as a society. We need to help bums not only out of kindness but out of respect for society and ourselves as a whole.

        Yes but remember, as far as the US govt is concerned, caring for the unhoused (and any other of the many impoverished and underserved of society for that matter) begins and ends with surface-level, performative respect. The kind where you make a banner and raise awareness, ya feel me? They would appreciate it if we didn’t ask for more than that. That costs money.

          Like changing the word to uNHoUsEd to make yourself feel better without affecting their lives in any way whatsoever? 😂

          Fuck off, help them in a better way
