Now what would happen if a homeless quilt was made by someone who actually cared about homeless people?
Meet former ad designer Willie Baronet.
Baronet is an artist who talks to homeless people and buys their signs from them for $20 a pop, if they’re willing to sell. He uses the signs in art exhibits to educate the privileged and point them to ways they can help, and to humanize homeless people and tell them they matter.
One sign at a time, Baronet makes a statement to help people with $20 in their hand and a voice that rings across the nation saying “I’m here.”
So not only did they take the small, hand-made signs away from homeless people but instead of just tossing them, they kept them. Not only did they keep them as some kind of homeless trophy, they actually went through the time, energy, and effort (funded by tax dollars) to tape them together, pose for a picture, and post it during the holiday season.
This is why people say that there are no good cops. Because there aren’t.
Health insurance inflicts more terror, pain, trauma, and suffering than we know.
If you had a seven year old who died because billionaires needed to be persuaded to give him life-saving care and they took too long, you would walk this Earth forever thinking of how your child suffered. For what? Shareholder profit?
Health insurance has to be phased out immediately and replaced with Medicare For All.
Health care good enough for Congress is good enough for all of The People.
One of the best things about winter in Florida is the influx of Sandhill cranes! There are resident Sandhill cranes in the state year round, but during the winter months the population of this species more than doubles due to snowbirding visitors from up north. They’ll stay for a few months and then head back home in the spring.
Sandhill cranes can live to be over twenty years old in the wild; can you spot the youngest member of this group? 👀
Good eye @otteroflore! The juvenile crane can be spotted with a less crimson crown, as its adult plumage is still coming in here.
