I agree it's uniquely tough if you live in New York. The F train is the train I take most often from Brooklyn into Manhattan, Broadway-Lafayette us where I get off to get a walk in on my way to meet people in Wash Sq park or the east village. I've been on the train or platform countless times when someone's freaked out like Neely did. Ideally, you ask the person if they need any help. It they are in fact acting in a very scary way, you avoid eye contact and then change train cars.
Such an on point piece. I work with marginalized folks in assisted living and so many of them were unhoused and we are one of the few facilities here in the desert that does whatever we can to keep them placed, regardless of DX or $$$. It’s hard and it’s exhausting. So many don’t care or get it. It’s such an individualistic framed society at times and like you said we need to keep working towards reframing that narrative. Thank you as always.
I cant even put into words how powerful this is.

Thank you for this. You’ve put to words what so many of us have been thinking and feeling following this horrific news.

Beautifully written about the very ugly and sad situation that exists in this country.

Delusional from start to finish.
