#Survive2025
the single best piece of advice my mother gave me before going off to college - apart from “club soda with a slice of lime looks like a gin and tonic” - was “the minute you meet someone who seems cool, ask them out for coffee immediately. everyone wants friends and is scared to make the first move”
Everyone is secretly hoping someone else will be the one to yell DO YOU WANT TO BE FRIENDS at them.
The Trump Administration claims to have swept and closed 70 DC homeless encampments. There are two left. They posted at them to warn them to get out. They gave them a choice, go to a shelter or we will place you in an addiction and mental health facility or jail.

This isn’t OK 🚨
