Sugar, Spice, and everything nice

1) Put housing loans at a level that people who aren’t part of the 1% can afford, and 

2) Get rid of legal limitations on how many non-related people can live together.

Even as excessive as many McMansions are, there are plenty that would be terrific places for 15+ millennials to combine funds, live together, and host both parties and workshop events. However, many places require that no more than 4-5 unrelated people can live in the same house (unless you get a special permit). 

the instructor was this big tall kind of imposing man who commented on how this exercise was one of the only times he thought that was a good thing. he asked for a volunteer and had them stand a few feet away from the wall on one end of the classroom while he walked over to the one opposite them. it was a big room so he was pretty far away

“i’m going to walk towards you and talk to you about my son,” he explained, in a totally friendly and disarming way. “im just going to talk and maybe gesture a little and walk towards you, just talking! and when i get too close, all you have to do is tell me to stop and i’ll stop. its ok! really! i wont be upset at all and this is just a class, i’ll stop on a dime!”

and then he did exactly what he said he was going to, but very loud and walking kind of fast. the room echoed and everyone was watching. he hadn’t lied at all, but it was just kind of a lot. the volunteer immediately took a step back and looked more guarded but didn’t say anything until he was basically on top of her. 

he stopped, and then he asked her “when did you WANT me to stop?”

she admitted that she was a little uncomfortable about how fast he was moving from the start, but halfway across the room is when she really didnt want him closer.

That woman holding up the machete is Tuira Kayapó. 

She’s a respected leader for the Kayapo and has been fighting to protect the amazon for decades.

This is a really famous photo from The Altamira Gathering in 1989, where hundreds of Native Amazonians openly confronted the Brazilian government with their crimes.
