  • It’s obvious to you and me it seems but people still learn about it for the first time everyday. Whether it’s a kid with their first smart phone or someone who was just lucky enough to live in ignorant bliss in their own life for years until one day they start to see things around them that they didn’t notice before. Their reality slipping away sluggishly and painfully, the America they pledged allegiance to was no longer there, no it was never there. It was lies, it was indoctrination, it was the insecurities made malice by powerful phobic cowards seeping down upon the masses, poisoning them and everything around them.


  • My dad told me, “It is a sin not to live up to your potential.”

    He’s not a religious person I think he just wanted to explain how heavy it may have weighed in his own mind, but we both support my mother’s idea of heaven and on occasion go to church with her at a nice church with a good community where they live. I don’t like religion but I do like open minded communities that support themselves as well as people they think differently than.

    Anyways I’ve added more openminded sounding meanings to it over my life like, considering opportunities of each individual and “live up to” can mean just being a person of integrity.


  • I know I’m feeling cautious about any progress towards my understanding of what is good, so I think I can understand why the first person was saying that, but I’m assuming. This sounds like a great thing, (but within the seconds I thought this), but I could never afford to live there it must be an overpriced and gentrified neighborhood.

    I spent more time than I liked to placing commas and trying to be grammatically correct. I probably made mistakes but does anyone reading really care. Am I just trying to make people’s opinion of me higher because I organized the message to the standards of people long dead. I know I technically asked two questions there but I wasn’t really asking so fuck it.








  • I have similar thoughts on this. I worked on a homeless prevention coalition with county officials, the nonprofit I worked at, other nonprofits, local hospital officials, local homeless housing services officials, and the local police department, Nueces county PD of Corpus Christi, tx. The majority of police I worked with seemed to really care for the local population, homeless or otherwise. I had the misfortune of one day working with an absolute doofus of a human being. He had on big dark sunglasses(to hide how scared he was I’m sure) and carried himself in a very authority demanding demeanor. He was not helpful in any way that day when we went out to the homeless encampments to do outreach services, which is informing the public of the city and county services available to them. Most of the people I approached said, that guys a bad person he comes here and harasses us even though the city said we have until (future date) to vacate the property. I spoke with my colleagues about him on the coalition, not in a grievance form sort of way just like wow get a load of that guy! They agreed with me about their coworker and told me some other stuff that supported my judging of this person. For a long time I supported the idea of ACAB because if my coworker was doing something harmful to others I would stop them and do everything I could to prevent it. So I blamed other cops for being complicit in the practice like the ACAB idea supports. Now I hold conflicting opinions on it. I think there is a benefit of having a decent person being a public official and enforcer of the law, regardless that they choose to work alongside psychologically unfit and/or violent individuals who abuse the position. Perhaps they keep showing up to work because they work alongside them. I’m still unsure overall but I do know police save lives sometimes. I think all public offices need strict accountability.

    I’m breaking the vow by talking about it but…

    A few friends and I were all doing drugs late one winter night and staying hydrated as responsible drug users sometimes do.

    The cold had us all sniffly and hacking.

    We spat into an empty water bottle.

    Sweet Hank was at the computer picking the next jam and reached for what he thought was his water, took a swig, returned the swig, and said, “We’re just not gonna talk about that.”

    Hank went to the bathroom, returned, and we continued, honoring Sweet Hank’s request.

    I couldn’t tell you what went through his mind when the viscous liquid hit but he carried on like a champion.
