Grilled beef hot dog. Placed in a plain, untoasted, non-steamed bun. Add muffaletta olive salad and top with sliced provolone.

I would prefer shelter and no anti-homeless architecture. But I get that you prefer anti-homeless architecture and no shelter, since we’re being uncharitable.

Instead the message is “no child should ever sleep on the streets. We made it impossible to sleep on this bench because it’s for people we want here.”

Imagine trying to spin anti-homeless architecture as pro-homeless.

The art and writing are somehow worse.

Was subjected to this shit too.

Off. I’ll likely need to switch to readers.
