Not houselessness itself. Not it's conditions and causes and rates and all that. No demographics either.

There's a side to houselessness that people do not see. Most interactions between housed and dirty besides police is charitable shit; He told me God loves me and gave me a $20. It doesn't often go beyond that, except maybe the occasional conversation between a homeless person and the person behind the counter at 7-11.

My best friend is a chronically houseless person. He has a sick fucking camp and doesn't give a fuck about being homeless.

I'm either friends with or acquaintances with like several dozen unhoused people who regularly come into the store I work graveyard at, on east side Portland, Oregon. We They are a vibrant culture of their own, living in the shadows of a day that doesn't belong to us them. I have friends with cool personalities and backgrounds. I want to use this as an opportunity to teach you guys about unhoused people, the culture they have; what they do, and all that shit.

So yeah, ask away.

    My friends have cooking equipment and fire pits. They make dinner for me all the time.

        My friend recently got enough biscuits or whatever to fill an entire like, I don't know what you'd call it, like a 5' long container thing for tools and shit, from Wendy's or something.
