hi Tim, you came up on my google search for Somerville Homeless Coalition, go figure, but it is good to see you are alive and well and making music and making babies and still fighting a good fight. all the best, Mark
well, yes and no. i have a 12 year old and no retirement moola so i'll be working for a long time, but if you were referring to our favorite plans i'd stick them in the same place you would. peace, Mark
This is my personal blog. The opinions expressed here are my own. Period.
About Me
Tim Harris
“Being is becoming,” and if we’re not “becoming,” we’re probably not doing much “being” either. This blog was started in a half-assed attempt at self-excavation. I have at least two unusual personality traits. The first is that I’m abnormally comfortable with ambiguity. I can happily muck about in the gray areas for years on end. This is probably why I love Seattle. The other is that I have a completely unrealistic belief in my own agency, which I tend to act upon. This blog has changed my life in more ways than I ever imagined. As my job as ED of a activist newspaper sold by homeless people, my vision for organizing, my thinking as a teacher, my history as a working-poor loser turned middle-class “advocate,” and my life as a parent swirled about me, this blog has been a path toward the center. We live in dangerous times, and the seductions to an easy, half-lived life of anesthetized materialism are all around. I have come to understand that my work is to be a revolutionary, both out in the world and within myself, turning over what is old, rotten, stale, and repressive, and building for a future where we can all find happiness and have the things we truly need.

Likewise. Old homeless advocates never die. They just plan for another ten years.

It seems that getting the 10YPs stuck to us is a given, so it's the extraction that's always the tricky part.
