Super frustrated after a couple evenings at our local punks w/ lunch, making sammiches and handing out hygiene kits, offering an ear, etc..
It's not the work that's frustrating (quite the opposite), but the constant side-quests dealing with housed, abled and well-off people crowding around and scolding us for offering more than advice and rehab pamphlets to people who are down bad and going through it... If half these people chose to roll up their sleeves and help, we'd be able to do so much more. Instead we get treated like we're the problem for keeping our neighbors fed, keeping needles off the streets, and gods forbid offering an ear and a sandwich instead of alienation and ridicule.
Why do I only see people like this at my back when doing the hard shit? And wtf is wrong with people who somehow think scolding people is somehow gonna do more good than a sandwich, some clean socks and some Narcan?

Learned from Al Jazeera that Iranian rescue dogs have done over 700 missions in response to US/Israeli strikes. They've saved hundreds of lives. Thank you rescue dogs! <3

Civilization could have been wiped out. But it wasn’t. And I truly hope it never comes to that.
Congrats to the people of Iran on the ceasefire.
I won’t lie hearing that news healed something in me. It felt like half the weight on my heart just lifted 🇮🇷🤝🇵🇰
