we tumbling.

A question I get asked a lot while working at a public library is "how do you deal with homeless people?"

I bring this up because today we had a man come in. He stopped at the desk, pulled up a chair and said "I'm newly homeless and was living in my car. I'm disabled. It was impounded. It's raining. I don't have a phone and I don't know where to go tonight."

One of my proudest life achievements was helping a close friend leave a controlling, emotionally abusive partner who happened to work as a librarian. Part of how I knew this guy was a terrible person was that he used his workplace experiences with homeless patrons as a justification for his increasingly reactionary right-wing politics (which were CLEARLY imported from manosphere tiktok, not his job). When she’d started the relationship he was a pretty normy lib with a few hangups from his patriarchal catholic upbringing. When he left his job (and finally got kicked out of her life, at around the same time) he was a trump-voting weirdo with an addiction to expensive men’s fragrances. But somewhere in the middle of that I was telling my friend “this guy is bad news. Every other librarian I know is super compassionate about & appreciative of the unhoused people who come in. I think it’s going to get worse and you should get out now.”

I mean you've threatened to kill me a bunch of times. You once told me you were gonna drown me in a river like a kangaroo.

Tumblr being the "piss on the poor" reading comprehension site makes sense when you realize that 79% of adults in the US are functionally illiterate. Same goes for Twitter and TikTok.
