Let me get this straight judge... I'm a danger to myself because of something I haven't said or done but he says I think... I'm also being put away to stop a crime that happens in the future for which I wouldn't be accountable... Thank my lucky stars! You're right: I don't think at all like You!"
Screenshot caption: Screenshot is a picture of a table for sale on walmart.com in the side bar where Walmart's logo usually resides is a government seal depicting an eagle clutching arrows instead of the Walmart logo. Under the photo is a penned drawing made on top of the screenshot of a butterfly staring at this missing logo with the thought balloon "not really a Cheshire cat but they still pretend it isn't all there" above the table on the screenshot was hand-scrawled "(My weird laptop)" below the table on the screenshot was scrawled "Should be Walmart instead disappering [misspelled disappearing] government symbol" The screenshot has scanned creases showing it has been folded, stapled, and generally handled and shown.

Used to just pass this out but though it got attention it didn't really get circulated much so now I just draw butterflies on it instead... now you can pass it along without admitting you see what April sees where Walmart's logo should have been. There is this stigma against any non-important person suffering mass surveillance in particular. What is mass surveillance then? And why should the public be less worried about democracy when more of the general public is under scrutiny? Privacy it seems is only for the government who is spying on the government during the whole red vs blue fiasco where in order for your privacy to matter... you must matter more than the en masse public does? In any case you won't get straight answers from a government that spies on itself according to itself... the whole thing is unstable and wants YOU to remain calm.
But these things drove me as offline as I could stay for a number of years hoping to isolate whatever was targeting either me or people I knew along with me? Post press reveal about the FBI's use of the Pegasus zero click spyware I finally learned it doesn't matter... there is no way to tell who is targeted or to be sure of isolating from the bugs if you are online at all. So I draw you butterflies... and I came across a third thing to wonder if it mightbe... the FBI was trying out Pegasus on experimental basis and I'm wondering if they showed me this just to see what I'd do... not only am I stigmatized but the brain damage also means that most likely I actually don't process visual information (see the world) quite like every user would... were they just trying to see if I could see it at all? Not like the likelihood of visual processing issues would be as much of a mystery to Uncle Sam as it would be to me all these years my childhood head trauma was pretty well documented and the government's been doing more studying of people like me than sharing back with those of us affected by such possible damage for sure, that there could be valid reasons for the error rate.
In any case I go out on a limb and say first the worst thing their spyware did is denial of service attacks... when you have several landline phones that all quit working and the telephone people say there isn't a reason... then repair themselves without help... and your messages cross and your mail is sent in circles for weeks... you have to actually go see people. You seem like a stereotypical nut... you look irresponsible. It's a pain. But when the world shuts down... this thing is downright scary.
I don't think they should mess with people... that's not what a government is for.

Pic caption: Crayon and ink drawing upper half is a smiling field wildflower by a ladybug in the left upper corner a thought balloon with sheep prancing among stars... below thought balloon reads "For the nights your sheep have insomnia... because [drawn hearts] it's always someone"... Lower half picture a patient abed phones in from a landline phone on the bedside table pointing to the thought balloon with the prancing sheep. The patient's speech balloon, over a sign that reads 'help-line' states "Of course they're pacing... what else do you do in a field?" Bottom left reads "Hugs from me."

Letters surrounding read: "Love your neighbours... (drawn heart) Uncle Sam wants to recruit YOUR unborn babies into a capitalist NUCLEAR cold-hot 'trade-war' that could make all humanity homeless refugees... Don't buy into it all... [drawn peace symbol]"

Document caption: "Envelope bearing personal letter for me the sender had applied tape and sent to my street address... the post office forwarded to my P.O. box at the time 1612 but the envelope from the bottom of the 2 has been resealed over that numeral by whomever redirected the letter to the postal box.
I have written on the photocopy "since last I saw you..." & "I wonder how many un-taped letters had been resealed less sloppily."
Document caption: A legal letter's envelope whose stamps indicate that it has been forwarded three times taking 27 days. A machine stamped misspelling of my name has been made but the wrong part of my name has been hand corrected by a postal employee in print rather than the original cursive.  I have scrawled over this "since last I saw you..." and the following four notes around the photocopied image of this envelope "1. only from across town a retainer agreement I think A.D.A. for my support animal 2. Even if I believed it was cause they misspelled my name (seriously the P.O. never had that much time) it was my first name misspelled anyway! 3. forwarded three times to lord knows where, lord knows why, but my guess is that non-lawyers & lawyers are different branches of bureaucracy. Did it [here the Xerox machine has left off the end of note #3. 4. took 27 days over 3 weeks." I had had other mailings forwarded from my street to postal address at this time... but this envelope in particular took longer and was handled a bit strangely... added to the envelope that was resealed... the screenshot on my computer... and my strangely malfunctioning and self-correcting landline phones... it got me wondering about U.S.P.S. before I ever read of Mr. James Pickering's trouble.
Yes sometimes Uncle Sam gets obvious with mass surveillance on an individual who doesn't seem to earn it... no one tends to ever find out why... my guess is that once funding gets allocated it tends to stay that way... you know regulatory creep if you will. Anyway yeah the N.Y.T. reported that Uncle Sam does go through our mail at times without ever explaining why and once in a while it goofs as the government will and gives you a clue... thus a butterfly lands in the box of one Leslie James Pickering profession: bookstore owner.

But everyone who claims to be just another totally unconcerned law-abiding member of the activist counter-culture or worse, an artist, needs to watch the below interview discussing/confessing the historical reality of Uncle Sam's unconstitutional interests to suppress/influence niche culture by spywork... -wait... culture... that's a secret? Yeah well, you know your likes online that no-one-else-sees? The info you pass on is easier than what Uncle Sam used to do to find out how to imitate and influence an oppressed group's favs... do me a favor click the like-button on something boring... make the feds work a little out there at their nonsense jobs to consume and hijack influence away from the actual community.
Question: How do you spot the next whistle-blower in the haystack?
Answer: Tell all the other activists they've no reason to hide.
Question: How do you protect whistleblowers in general?
Answer: Pretend that your own privacy matters to YOU in general.

​Of course when your mentally disabled it's not just Uncle Sam that likes to butt in for no reason you get regulated by all kinds of folk who try very hard to convince you of things... gaslighting or spying... the line blurs when society feels welcome to invite itself to shape your thinking. And official intrusion or hoax intrusion there's these days you just would rather be left some space in your life.
But how much are you under surveillance vs. being gaslighted about being under surveillance when surveillance of activists is already a thing  en masse?>>>>
Pic caption: Screenshot of public hearing in which we disabled activists appealed to local legislature in failed attempt to repeal forced electroshock of neurodivergent activists. Author of website makes it plain that this practice is considered to be torture internationally.
Testifying against involuntary electroshock:
 The activists and advocates who supported the bill by it's number were disgusted when it was re-written after gaining their testimony 'in support' and it relieved all of us when that bill died. I just described what I'd wanted the bill to stop... that is much more important than remembering the label on a bill. ​This all happened years before the pandemic.
 Force is it's own problem in the world. The government more often damages itself by force than in simple confusion. 

None of our bodies are the same and from Peanut Butter to tylenol we used to all know we can't all rely upon the same stuff... I maintain that on occasion the cartoon villian that is holding the world's health hostage for a price... will have something you do need and want. There is no shame in that nor harm in voluntarily making up your own mind... but no one should be forced to take an antidote or a cure... moreover none should hold that kind of power over you NOR OVER YOUR NEIGHBOR. Good Luck.

Actually maybe it's better to admit we all make humiliating mistakes than to try to achieve total understanding of someone whom you are not... instead give real respect. For one thing all people need to work upon ourselves anyway as allies of our allies... for another... the propogandists might be good at imitating people with all that spy gear... but propogandists are consistently bad at actually empowering others long... sometimes they use someone who brings wrong demands but gets us beautifully.  In this climate for social justice under much scrutiny then for movements there are downsides to the familiarity that we enjoy with ourselves. We can't stop being really ourselves... but at least we might confuse the bots... a community can help with an inconsistent person... but the bots are omnipresent and give us each that total attention. It is a chore when you are trying to just de-stress... but to remove the fake in your reality you might have to let confusing the AI take it's part of your personal time.
