if you want to actually start to end homelessness, you need to give homeless people unconditional homes, including when we use them to do drugs or sit around drinking. either housing is unconditional or it isn’t

someone sitting at home alone, an active alcoholic, squandering your charity, drinking all day is better situation than a street homeless alcoholic. someone using drugs in your charity house is better than them doing the same w no shelter

most of you would not like most street homeless people, I definitely don’t and didn’t when I was street homeless. for every one person who uses unconditional shelter to turn themselves around, someone else will do jack shit and very slowly, if ever, work through the issues that made them homeless, will maybe never be able to live independently. still better than street homelessness, still worth doing. ultimately either you believe that shelter should be universal or you don’t

homeless people actually can’t be rehabilitated if you want to end homelessness. we either affirm the right to shelter for the worst drunken, lying, filthy, cheating, self destructive homeless people that exist, genuinely irredeemable wankers, or we concede that shelter is not a right

Growing food instead of laws is good, but can we PLEASE stop with the condescending bullshit that implies that people who choose to grow lawns must only being doing it for shallow ‘sheepish’ reasons?

Maybe instead of snidely saying ‘trying to impress your neighbors?’ give people instructions on how to work with and/or fight their home owner’s association, how to appeal to a landlord, how to address local ordinances, and how to grow stealth food crops as ornamental plants in areas where food gardening is banned. Seriously, they will come bulldoze your shit and then bill you for it.

We need more posts instructing people how to guerrilla garden and found community gardens, and fewer posts saying ‘You only have a lawn because you’re shallow and vain and stupid!’

Hi! By any chance, do you have any texts, books, documentaries etc you can recommend about mary magdalene?

Hmmm, I’m aware of a few. Maybe check out the Digby Mary Magdalene play, Susan Haskins’ Mary Magdalen: Myth and Metaphor, and Jane Schaberg’s The Resurrection of Mary Magdalene (Legends, Apocrypha and the Christian Testament). Rainer Maria Rilke wrote a poem about Mary Magdalene titled “The Risen One” (here, translated by Anne Conrad Lammers) — actually, he also translated a French sermon on Mary Magdalene, which he called “Der Liebe der Magdalena” (The Love of Magdalene). And more recently, Marie Howe published Magdalene: The Seven Devils. I hope this helps, I’ll edit this if people have something to add!

The Making of the Magdalen: Preaching and Popular Devotion in the Later Middle Ages by Katherine Ludwig Jansen explores the development of the cult of Mary Magdalen from the 13th-16th centuries. It’s an especially good resource for showing how people’s attitudes towards MM changed over time; it’s also a great art history reference. I also recommend Women of the Gilte Legende by Larissa Tracy. It’s a short book, and although it’s not only about MM, it does include her story among a number of other female saints. The interpretive essay gives context for why MM became so popular.
