i have a couple comments here and main thing: have you heard or noticed that everyone is dying and everything's fucked up and its the narrow end of the deathspiral and we're not getting out

this petty shit doesn't matter. every NP in the #DTES is fkdup LOOK AROUND

YES everyone could be way less freaked out and weird about media. the history of such interactions is not great, and has been embellished over time. everything is shit, everyone defaults to treating others like shit in order to make one's place in an intricate hierarchy of shit.

EVERYONE IS DYING. OUR LAST SMALL PLACE IS DYING

almost six years of the overwhelming constant death of our friends, all our friends are dead. nobody can tread water forever. you can feel it, all hollowed out.

here, at the end of all things

also i guarantee you that dozens of conversations have happened as a result of this series, eg "well i saw something WAAAY WORSE in such-and-such building run by whoever" and i say "its not a competition in the misery olympics can we please address our material conditions FFS"

sorry was busy with the deaths. if the point of this all was to follow the money, someone took a wrong turn. look - its not BC housing. its not the city. so where's the money from? and where does it go? how are these places funded? and workers paid? who runs this place?

VCH.
