I don't even Know

instead landlords horde housing so people have no option except to rent. then the landlords don't think they need to provide the service of being a landlord. the value of rent versus buy isn't there.

i think there is a place for landlords. i think renting is good for people who intend to live there for a year, or part time, or some long term temporary reasons and won't have time or reason to maintain the building. there is a place and reason for landlords, a service. it's a job, and when treated as a job i think its worth while.

to be clear, not everyone needs a landlord. most cases i think people should be able to and should own where they live. in dense residential zones, aparrment/condo buildings with individually owned units contributing to an owners' controlled/ran organization that maintains shared spaces are fine. yeah hiring a building manager makes sense, but that's not a landlord it is an employee. private companies running/owning the building is bad and should be illegal. single family homes, absolutely should not be owned by a corporation. that should be illegal. renting out a room or floor in your own house you live in? sure, that's acceptable. owning a whole multifamily home just to rent out the one half? no, that should be illegal.

in many cases, rent is higher than a monthly mortgage payment, but banks refuse to approve loans. so the very people paying the mortgage also pay service fees and other junk to rent the same place. which arbitrarily increase for greed reasons. People can afford the housing without landlords, but banks are gatekeeping owning a home. landlords aren't "providing" a house to people who can't get a loan, those people were discriminated against and trapped into renting. it's stealing.

Natural Black Hair Tutorial! Usually Black hair is excluded in the hair tutorials which I have seen so I have gone through it in depth because it’s really not enough to tell someone simply, “Black hair is really curly, draw it really curly.” 

One day, something in space is going to look at humans the same way. You go to a new galaxy and there's freaking humans in there, like they just spontaneously manifest on random planets that have the ability to sustain them. All you need is an atmosphere with enough oxygen, some form of water, and that's pretty much all you need before they seem to just pop out of the ground and start terraforming it.

The mystery of the lake fish has been solved, by the way. It's waterfowl. Much like the birds that eat seeds and spread them around, waterfowl consume roe from the water, and while the number of fertilised fish eggs that pass through the digestive system of a duck or wild goose alive and unharmed may be small, it's not zero. A goose will shit in the lake water, and through comes the roe. It happens just often enough that lakes and ponds become - and remain - populated with fish.

Humans don't pop up on unknown planets and and unreachable galaxies on purpose. They couldn't get in there any more than they could get out of there, they have no choice but to claim the most viable-looking planet they can reach and start terraforming it. But how did they even get there?

sex work is shown as “sexy” and “empowering” when youre taking pictures of yourself to sell, but god forbid you physically make somebody cum for money. often we are derided, patronized and seen as unwitting victims, or simply left out of the discussion (and trust me the silence is DEAFENING and says a lot on its own)
