Oh, this looks like fun.

While hogging the Internet today, we came across this Yahoo group for the homeless, which bills itself as a "unique, independent, community based support group, moderated by anonymous homeless and formerly homeless volunteers, in San Francisco, California." It's great. The homeless or lease signers among us can send them tips, blow whistles, upload real photos of meals served in several shelters, see photos of health and hygiene conditions at local tax funded shelters, compare and contrast safety at certain shelters, and much much more.

There's also a nascent blog of said homeless Yahoo group. It's current post? Designer homeless shelters across San Francisco. Cute. So hit your nearest library and check it out.

(And before you headstrong capitalist types chime in, screaming at the homeless folk that they "should get a job" -- 24-karat advice we're sure they've heard ad nauseum -- remember, be kind. Also, a certain amount of homeless and/or impoverish people are critical in order for said favored economic system to work properly. Or something like that. We're sure it's much more complicated that that. Of course. Point being: don't be so mean. That's our job.)
