Currently in love with all things fibre!

Trying to be the single crazy person bringing the unbridled fun of spinning yarn, crochet, and weaving to beehaw. I’m by no means an expert, just overwhelmingly passionate about all things wool. Toss questions my way, I’ll do my best to answer. :)

Direct message

Adding onto this, you can’t really overhaul your entire life unless you have a place to live.

I’m speaking from the other side, I spent some time homeless, and I agree with you. Some people do need more than just a place to live. They need mental health treatment, they need assistance with their drug dependency. They need professional help.

But, it’s also impossible for someone to consistently get professional help unless they have a consistent place to rest their head.

Because again, I am agreeing with you, but the part I disagree in is the order of where mental illness comes in. Because I reckon for a lot of homeless folk, they start off fine, and then the trauma of the situation sends them completely mentally loose. I was lucky to have the internet and my friends to keep me stable enough, and even I have plenty of screws lost now.

It’s a hard issue to solve, and I genuinely think it’ll take decades of actual effort (not half measures) to see some actual gain. And homelessness is literally ingrained into an economy of winners and losers. Because it is a lot more than just stop making people homeless at this point.

I’m down for it. Completely and entirely. The popes brother becomes a master thief/super villain. I god damn love it, haha.

No worries at all mate, I’m just trying to keep communities active and happy, and posting “bad” writing is just a reason. The saying is to write everyday, not to write well everyday.

Yeah, I think reddit is going to die (if only due to the process of enshittification and the consequences of going public) but the idea of a mass exodus is a bit of a dream. Anyone who has had a conversation going on in one channel, and then have a mod tell them to move it to a more appropriate channel should know this. The conversation doesn’t move, it just stops 9/10 times.

But we shouldn’t be preoccupied with reddit as a community. Give what you can to Lemmy and enjoy it for what it is, not wishing it to be reddit.

Man, maybe I should dust off the old account and do the good ol “taking Tumblr screenshots and posting them on other websites” work myself.

Same. Replacing doom scrolling on Reddit with posting on beehaw.

Hell, even if people move back to reddit, I’ve made the choice to stay on Lemmy, and give a small community everything I’ve got.

Oooh, I’m presuming New Zealand then? Honestly, learning about possum fibre was a shock, when my coworkers told me about their possum wool scarf. I still think it’s a bit weird to wear the screaming bastards haha.
