apparently theres a discourse on tumblr about like, who is "more homeless" than other people? what the hell are we doing, how is that remotely productive to punch horizontal at one another over who had worse experiences. someone couchsurfing is not the enemy of someone on the streets

i say this as someone who was kicked out onto the streets and had to figure out some shitty motel to stay in where i had shady guys sexually harassing and threatening me. seeing others mention the few formerly homeless ppl who became assholes judging others for using drugs etc, and like...

...yeah those people exist but they sure as fuck arent common nor in power, so why the hell give them focus. anyone serious whose experienced that shit knows to not be an asshole and recognize that ppl can do whatever the hell they want with their money in that position, isnt anyones business

idk boss the internet discourse cycles constantly finding ways to drive wedges among marginalized people feels realllly convenient right now, and frankly id beware any weird takes intent on dividing like heavily suffering communities.
