I distrust toots that assert something without providing a link
I was lucky and found a link to the 31K figure; sounds partially like it does NOT apply to all homeless people, just some small percentage, so probably a bullshit number

Ok, now what do we do ?

I would think:

- contact your state and local elected official to try to make sure that protections for women are as strong as possible

- if your state is having an referendum on the 2024 ballot, well, you should be helping, right ?

- if you can, send money to elect and re elect dem, from Biden/Congress down to local level (sheriffs - huge !!)

while somehow, dunno how, avoiding money pits like Beto and Amy McGrath

Running water and indoor plumbing was relatively common in the ancient world.

really ?
In 1920, only *** 1% of US homes** had indoor plumbing

@PanArab

I once read an explanation for why the Bedouin wear black robes:

the black gets hot, which causes a air current to rise between the outer and inner robes; this air current is cooling

@PanArab always good to be corrected !

It is quite possible that my memory is from the slashdot era of comments like

"I put Linux on my laptop and then the wireless didn't work and it took me 3 hours on the help forum . ."
