A lot of people apply, but since co-op, market rate and non profit housing initiatives make up such a small portion of available housing in proportion to a population, it’s very hard to access.

I used to be kind of low level anti-pharmaceuticals. Nothing too dramatic (never antivax), but definitely quietly on the side of other forms of interventions of any kind being preferable over drugs.

Sooo high urgency with zero consequence for missing targets?

Follow up question: how do you feel about the thought of not wearing makeup?
