Niceness is an aesthetic. Kindness is substantive.

Homelessness is what it says the lack of a home. It should never be seen as a crime. It is a societal/government responsibility to ensure we house our citizens. It is not only costly but also counter productive and cruel to send people to prison for simply trying to find shelter and community.

Heh!😁

🚨Your regular reminder to STAY OUT of flood waters. 🚨 You can be washed away by far shallower water than you’d think, and flood water is full of debris and probably contaminated 💩 🚨Follow the instructions of civil defence, evacuate early if you feel unsafe. ❤️Stay safe and look after each other

Probably speaking to the wrong audience on this platform, but here goes. NEVER DRIVE THROUGH FLOODS. Had a mate who did it once and he was very bloody lucky, although the Toyota Levin never recovered. Also, caveat emptor on buying second hand cars after any flooding.
