@universalshelter: happy Labor Day💔🤯Actum has shocked the world by designing the world's first free universal housing model — permanent homes, given away, forever. A group of best friends in California formed a zero-salary 501(c)(3) nonprofit with a single objective: give people free permanent shelter. Actum refuses to treat basic shelter as a commodity, because shelter is a human right. Their mission is to provide homes, awarded by lottery, that no one ever has to move out of. When shelter is guaranteed, the constant pressure of survival disappears — and people gain the stability to think, create, and live as full participants in civilization instead of fighting to stay afloat. No society should force people to buy their way into safety. Withholding shelter is a moral failure we have normalized for far too long. So how is it financially possible? Every donation enters a single global endowment invested in long-term S&P 500 index funds, which have historically returned around 7% a year. Actum builds housing units using only the returns. As the endowment grows, so does their capacity to continually house people. And they operate with a level of transparency most governments and corporations refuse to adopt: their bank statements are public, and every donation, expense, and activity is visible in real time on Actum’s website. Recipients will be chosen through a fair, randomized lottery launching soon — universal by design, with no favoritism, no transaction, and no social leverage attached. If Actum succeeds, humanity crosses a line it has never crossed before: a home stops being something you earn and becomes something you are guaranteed. The words in this video are from "The Price of Being Human" by Kristian Ventura, published by Actum and available on Amazon. Want to be involved?

labor must become optional.
all labor is forcibly coerced under threat of criminalized homelessness and starvation.

So many people are willing to do work. And work hard. But we don’t because we arnt allowed to experience life outside of work- and when we try we are punished by our bank accounts and that’s not even mentioning other aspects like neurodivergence and disability’s.

I took some vacation time, but literally can’t afford to do anything during that vacation time. I’m taking the time just to rest and maybe do some things at home that I don’t normally get to do.

what if we start buying land and start building communities with eco friendly homes and clean energy? the homes, food, water, and possibly medical care could be free, people would be able to do what they genuinely enjoy or are good at to contribute
ive been thinking about trying to do it

We have this ongoing “joke” on my jobsite after a 12 hour shift. At the end of the day (7:30pm), we all say, “well I’ll see yall after dinner break.” That jokes slowly killing me. Get home, have abt 2 hours to eat, shower, and say goodnight, then right back to it.

I have found that once I had become an independent adult I lost a lot of my creative thinking, I don’t read books as much as I used to, I have no excitement to try to start craft projects like I used to. I am not the same person I used to be and it’s heart breaking I used to be so creative and had so many projects I was working on at once and now I can’t even find the energy to start one. I’m so damn tired not just physically but emotionally
