First of all, they wouldn't be homeless if I were housing them. Second of all, it's not every individual's responsibility to share their home in order to support housing the homeless. There are people who refuse to allow life income housing in their neighborhood because it would supposedly bring crime or lower their property values. That's the shit attitude that we can overcome. I would be happy if my town housed our homeless anywhere they could find for them and put it in my taxes. I believe that housing should be a human right. Plus, there are towns and cities around the country making it harder and harder to be homeless and not commit a crime just by existing homeless, but won't create any social safety nets for them. Why tf am I being voted down for caring about other human beings? Empathy. It's disappearing.

<woosh> yes. That's exactly what's happening. The problem in the US is that there are more than enough living spaces for every single person to have a home, but universal housing isn't considered a human rite. And people with plenty of money go around buying up land and property to rent out at rates beyond what average Americans can afford. It's disgusting is what it is.

So much to love about this! But what weirdly stood out to me was the tie tracks in the mud. The color of the mud is so perfect. It's that brown, reflecting the blue of the sky that says it's still a bit damp. I can't explain why that called out to me, but it really did. I love cows, I love sunsets and sunrises, and you did a wonderful job on both.
