The incongruously well-equipped homeless campers nearby left a bouquet of flowers at my door which led to me learning that they’re a grad student doing fieldwork for a thesis on homelessness and her husband

They’re from SOU in Ashland, and really, incongruously well equipped - nice new tent, two bikes, portable stovetop and cookware, they put up fairy lights today. Kinda seems more like an urban camping trip, between that and coming in with a literal postgraduate education in being homeless, I don’t know how typical an experience they’re having.
