Update on TTW and Yoshi

[daredtowork]

106. Try to remember no one here knows anything

I've tried to stay circumspect and offer advice for someone stating the situation TTW says she's going through.

It seems inappropriate for people to make judgments like she is doing drugs or whether she has particular psychiatric diagnoses or whether she has or has not particular experiences. If you have zero income and are thrown on the mercy of whatever you can get, you may indeed be going through bad experiences.

If you object to TTW trying to deal with her situation by asking for money here, you can ignore it.
(Here is the locked post, I agree it's a "subtle ask": http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027079710 )

I'm personally in favor of TTW posting here because it allows people to talk openly about some of the gaps in the system, and knowledge of those gaps might enable you to answer Republican critiques about "welfare queens" or "people being on SSI because they are depressed" or people instantly having a place to go when they are homeless. I think it's important to see these things.

Those of you who are tired of the "continuing story" don't have to read it. Those who think this is insight on what happens to people when they lose everything in the US might want to stick with the "continuing story".
