Notes BJ Penn is officially running for Governor of Hawai`i in 2022 Here is a collection of articles about former Big Island Mayor Billy Kenoi Manny Pacquiao became a Senator in the Philippines in 2016, and became acting President in December 2020. Wyclef Jean embezzling through charitable organization (2012) Invisible People on Instagram and LA County removing homeless encampments Some libraries are punk as fuck. Some public libraries have enacted policies that limit access to services for homeless individuals. These policies include the policing of smell and odor, charging a fee, or banning bulky items from being brought indoors. While libraries have a limited reach, they are a great place to get connected to other resources, use the internet, or charge your phone. Patrons might even find something worth reading while there. According to the Point-in-Time count of homeless individuals, 1 in 3 people living on the Big Island are chronically homeless or unsheltered. The voluntarily houseless community in Puna is different than  people who were displaced when they lost their homes to the lava in 2018 or because of the 2019 global pandemic. Services for displaced people can be found around the island including the Neighborhood Place of Puna and other state recognized homeless service providers. If you are experiencing homelessness, whether transient or chronic, you can contact the National Coalition for Homelessness, The National Homelessness Law Center, or your state or county Department of Human Services to find resources in your area. Shout Outs Red Paint by Sasha LaPointe We ask some big questions in this episode. What does balance look like for you? What are your impossible standards? What are signs that you need a break?
