Incredible episode!

Ozymandias I met a traveller from an antique land Who said: “Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed: And on the pedestal these words appear: ‘My name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!’ Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

Good explainer of how we’ve got here, and how we can respond ⬇️☀️

A favourite quote from a favourite book:

"I wish I were a girl again, half-savage and hardy, and free."

Emily Brontë, Wuthering Heights.

I feel this. 🤦🏽‍♀️

In thy weak hive a wand’ring wasp hath crept,
And suck’d the honey which thy chaste bee kept.

Happy Black History Month to everyone in the US! 🖤
