going to bed early is so punk

www.monitorsaintpaul.com/stories/over... People want to stay in beautiful spaces. This spot is a great example of desirable housing.

Death, when it comes too soon and in deeply avoidable ways, brings a painful grief. www.twincities.com/2025/02/13/s...

Fog on the Mississippi. Temps are below zero this whole week. www.ramseycounty.us/residents/as...

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

www.minnpost.com/metro/2025/0... So many shelter buildings are aging, with maintenance/renovation costs rising.

-20F overnight, checked a lot of fingers and toes this morning. Gratitude to outreach partners and the Sun.

Yoo, if you're the snack fairy, thank you!!! Snacks that are yummy and comforting and high calorie, and that don't become impossible to chew in this weather (looking at you, granola bars), are GOLD out on the street ❤️ (soda is bad if it freezes but nobody waits that long to finish it)

"emergency homeless beds continue to fill up at key times, despite a refrain from public officials that shelter is available for all..., according to unsheltered people, their advocates and the county’s own hotline."

The people I talk to doing this job like it a lot. The program is well set up and has good pay. www.twincities.com/2025/01/04/l...

Much of the U.S. is bracing for winter storms and brutally cold conditions. For unhoused people, extreme winter weather isn’t just uncomfortable: It’s deadly. How can communities and health centers be ready for extreme cold? We've rounded up some resources here: nhchc.org/frigid-tempe...

Share widely: Massive fire at an encampment in Mpls today; and people have lost their homes, belongings, everything. List here of what is needed; also check out @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social for donation links & other needs.

I don't know that they did think. alleynews.org/2025/01/some...

Tonight was the annual memorial for unhoused people and workers who died this year. I always go, and I'm always shocked when there are names of people I've cared for.

A lot of things suck in this lifetime, but I remember when the thought of this was incomprehensible. This is beautiful.

When people need to stay warm to stay alive, fire is a risk. Low barrier warm spaces could have solved a lot here. www.startribune.com/south-minnea...

What’s legal may not be moral What’s moral may not be legal Legality and morality are not the same. They frequently diverge, in fact.

Live your life and make choices in a way that, when you die, no one has cause to celebrate your death A proverb I just made up because dunno, it seems relevant right now.

Good roundup of info for the road ahead from @nhchc.bsky.social nhchc.org/resource/imp...

Imported my whole account with Blue Ark, the dates are lost so it looks like I posted a 100+ times in the last day. Strange.

New data but not new knowledge. www.mprnews.org/episode/2024...

if you don’t believe this, look up the pricing for biktarvy (common daily oral ARV), cabenuva (long acting injectable ARV), & apretude (long acting injectable PrEP) in the US.

Deeply necessary. www.ingstadmedia.com/governor-wal...

Kimball Court needs upgrades, and there are routinely no places to house people exiting homelessness. Scattered site housing would be nice, but this isn't the solution. patch.com/minnesota/ac...

What on earth are they reviewing? Winter has already started. Housing workers need places to offer people. www.myvillager.com/news/general...

Housing for all who want it!

Listening House's program is well liked by the people working that I've talked to - great pilot. www.startribune.com/homeless-min...

These brave doctors are following history. We have always been forced to use civil disobedience to save lives: supervised injection, narcan, needle, distribution, safe supply. Unjust laws are meant to be broken. Respect. www.timescolonist.com/local-news/v...

St. Paul College wanted to convert Catholic Charities rooming house on Marshall Ave into student housing. Mayor’s office wants it for 30 repeat offenders in “Familiar Faces” homeless initiative. Council Member Anika Bowie calls for pause, more outreach. www.twincities.com/2024/11/16/f... #stpaul
