can you imagine how many people would be able to leave abusive situations if housing was free

My psychology professor actually did a longitudinal study in our state with women in abusive relationships where they have three different groups different options one of which being a year of rent free apartments if they did not speak to or allow their abuser to contact them again and of all the women only one lost her apartment for not adhering to the rules. When he other women were checked up on in their apartments they had new jobs, looked so much happier and just overall like different women, and were really thriving. Also if you think a year of free housing is expensive you have no real idea how much domestic violence really costs our country.

And it’s not just people in abusive relationships, but also people with abusive parents (or other family members)

I don’t care what the Founding Fathers would have wanted, I don’t care if Jesus was a hippie or not, I don’t care what Marx prescribed. I can’t take living in a world where we’re all servants of long-dead men. You know what happens if you make a law the Founding Fathers wouldn’t like? Nothing, they’re dead and they’re never coming back. I’m genuinely envious of countries that can just make whatever laws they want without worrying about how 18th century agrarian noblemen would have seen it. Stop arguing that Jesus loved the poor too, what he loved or didn’t love is irrelevant, he doesn’t get a say in any of this. We could have a country that isn’t shackled to these ghosts if we collectively wanted to.

This is gorgeous.

I pray y’all stop chasing people that are running away from you. I pray y’all stop begging people to love you. You are worthy of a love you shouldn’t have to beg for.

i want to live in the peaceful feeling you get underwater where everything sounds softer and the lights are all tinged blue and the world feels silky and light and surreal
