I wish comfort to the sick, aid to the abused, freedom for the persecuted, safety for the displaced & beleaguered, justice for the innocent, rest for the weary, companionship to the isolated, medical care to the vulnerable, love for the depressed, and food for the hungry.

Bits of idealism for all.

She told me I was always a good boy and that she never forgot me, and now had seen me walking alone in the dark, biking by with odd armfuls of waste balanced on my bicycle, and sometimes in the dawn walking alone in the Winter in shorts. Always alone.

She wanted to know everything, and then cried.

On the fatigued walk to a lake access dumpster, I heard my name called out, standing by a roadside birdhouse library. She now called out louder, and hurtled down her immense property, to my raggedy uneasy spot seemingly nowhere.

It was my 4th grade teacher, she embraced me in a reunited pury joy.

This is nice. 🐙

I don't personally want to share, but I appreciate you for the gesture. 🙇‍♂️

Hope you have a good night, and a happy Thursday tomorrow!

Thanks for being here with us.

So many examples it's tiresome.

My public defender hasn't even had the time to talk, and didn't advocate for me at my arraignment & just cut a plea bargain.

This is normal.

You're guilty before you're innocent, similar to the DPS.

In a cruel future, I could return to homelessness at 44 from 24.

-Celebrating my first anniversary*

This past year was so dismal, unlucky, and tragic that it feels as though time slowed down.

August last year I got a fully favorable admission in the SSA (SSDI) but I couldn't legally work.

That was hell - Broken systems & promises, chaos, enormous complexity...

4 months will go by & no one will do anything & send you the "you missed the deadline the same day we issue the deadline..."

Good luck kiddo, hope you grow wings!

Only the rarest of folks involve themselves with this arena, it's simply not worth the energy, but it's a disaster more should contest.

It's on a 180 day deadline too...
Or you lose your privileges to drive indefinitely.

You're guilty until proven innocent, out of the necessity to protect the public.

It's unbalanced, out of any circumstantial or judicial context, and is so untimely & inefficient. It's a blunt & clumsy system...
