Yep. I’m a patron of Elk and it’s always disheartening to see them ask everyone to boost it on reddit. I understand it’s their best platform, but it’d be nice for other platforms to also be utilized. I mostly just don’t see Pizzacake anymore unless I open instagram.

And it’ll still be cheaper than dealing with all the knock-on effects of homelessness: litter, crime, health issues, etc.
