I don't know if anyone will ever read this... but if something is worth your all... it's also worth it to try and explain why it means that much to you. I'm not saying we all have to agree with one another to resist our exploitation together... I've crowded out that idea already with a lot of text against it.
Scroll to end for most recent information... have been committed to this project for a longer time than I've had a website about it... but the effort is continuing to require more of me and the update section is now really long.
FYI: Dealing with a random website bug that is switching where I place photos... this is mixing up the images between new and old pages like they were a deck of cards... Currently this has shuffled some images on this page with newer ones from MI and FL. Arrg!
Video on the right is a speech made from my apartment while I'd been quietly preparing to let it go... I was cautious not to lose my legal status due to my mental disability and become stuck in my lease due to political censorship. I planned discreetly for many months to get to the streets to take my message out and to learn from what others have to say. Transcript has been made and is probably quicker just to skim through... but I needed to film this coded speech while still in my unit knowing what had been threatened to censor me during my last attempt to protest my privileges of nationality being used to justify I.C.E.'s child abuse... they had threatened to remove my legal status thanks to my having a mental disability see this page: https://www.peoplenotcattle.com/25-court-ice-weird-encounters-with-thought-police.html

We are wise not to just seek a 'higher education'... but to seek a real education both high and low... I am still not sorry I made this decision to learn. |

Just sticking a note here to say I am working on audio transcripts and visual captions for my data. I want to do better. I have limited time and so much to post have been and will keep striving to do better here.
Goals and updates...
LEAVING MIDDLETOWN, CT

pic caption: A picture of my protesting bicycle and trailer as it was before I left Connecticut while I was living homeless there. My bicycle has been brightly illustrated in crayon and pain with pictures of rainbows, flowers, birds, etc, on the frame. The trailer has been waterproofed with a shower curtain. The handlebars are adaptive for persons with nerve damage and the bicycle is an adjustable folding bike. Hung onto the bike are signs and hand sanitizer. The bike is on a grassy lawn.
pic caption: Close up of another sign hung on the bike in Connecticut reads "Uncle Sam's starvation sanctions [drawn skull and crossbones dollar sign] let the 1% cull the 99%. Women, children, freedom starved. Rich got richer." End of caption of photo of sign on my bike.
pic caption: Close up of sign on front of bike in Connecticut, which read "N.A.-M.A.D. Neurodivergents against "Mutually Assured Destruction." [drawn mushroom cloud with rockets flying into] "No more 'sanity bombs' why the hell we want 'em?"... "Let's save the world we live in and crush Uncle Sam's ableist justifications for toxic nukes. [drawn sun heart flowers shooting star] "Resist doom 4 love, peace, & human dreams." End of caption of sign shown in photo.
pic caption: A view of the bike from behind the handlebar post. A duck in a magician's hat, a sun and a wavy rainbow are crayoned onto the frame, behind the front basket is the rear of another message with sheep and stars drawn on the sign. As best as I can make out and recall this sign read as follows: [drawn sheep and stars] "SLEEP IS A HUMAN RIGHT. If you want to stop homelessness, go wake up a gentrifer landlord (cause of the housing shortage)... Waking up everyone else just increases the likelihood they get hit by a car stumbling through... And that don't help public safety, no. To Nashville TN." End of caption of photo of sign on my bike.

I slept outside every day from Nov. 3rd on in freezing temperatures in the north until it became too cold to be safe. On Dec. 22nd 2022 I boarded a train with the folding bike to southern states to continue the bicycle journey in the south. About a week before that I had had to move into an unheated shed. It was freezing when I got off the train and saw my first palm trees.... But I had tarps, wool clothing and, waiting at Walmart... another bicycle trailer that I would later again waterproof. I had had to leave the signs and first trailer behind as I could not take it all on the train. I've been since living homeless From late December to early June I have lived in Tammany Parish where I had not known anyone. I just sleep outside each night, and I tried to reach press that would respond. I've got through or am getting through freezing temps, blisters, finding ways to be clean, fast stormy rain, thick mud, flooded campsites, biting bugs, mechanical issues, and finding discreet ways to get to sleep and places to charge devices or get online.
Activism in Saint Tammany Parish, LA
Being censored again... getting better known to locals... sticking out the challenges...
Found a service VEED.IO that helps auto-caption videos for free now (Update... they make it free for a while then the paywall comes up) can start to both update and work on the backlog faster while I'm on the library computer... these two videos are some tornado watch alerts (luckily no tornado) which were appearing on my phone I think around the third of January. Wasn't sure what to do as there didn't seem to be much local reaction which is a bit different than if we get such an alert in CT.

Some repairs...

More to come when I've more library time... library is closing soon goodbye! 1-17-23
Finding my way to the St. Tammany Trace... and new towns within the parish... Mandeville, Covington, Abita Springs...
Slowly realizing I can't bicycle down Louisiana roads easily with brain damage... let alone safely while experiencing the frequent sleep deprivation of being homeless... but not sure yet what to do about it... except not give up. Once I get to Covington... I experience a strange sort of press ban... and realize if I am too reach anyone on my own... I must stay awhile. It was suggested I take a bus then... but if I wanted to give myself a chance... I couldn't let being ignored by the press deter me... people speaking out about the problems with Big Pharma's approach to vaccine equity were being censored everywhere... if I couldn't deal with... it would certainly follow me. So I stick it out... and meet many new friends... for a time... the streets between Covington and Mandeville especially along the trace and around the libraries... become my home, the other homeless and those employed in or frequenting these areas... become like neighbors.

New signs were made for the bike as I couldn't take the others with me aboard the train due to space... the new signs arrived along with me to Mandeville in January they were made along the trace...
caption: sign on front of bike reads 'Folk, if vaxing... need 2 organize vax from same vial of liquid Harder to ignore good/bad effects that way Easier patients support each other take it or don't... but stop them profiteering. 'Row of drawn colored hearts 'More @ peoplenotcattle.com' and a QR code to lead to this site reading 'happy new year 2023' stuck onto the sign.
Caption: back of bike trailer reads 'No more starvation sanctions... let freedom eat overseas... love your neighbor and your stranger... uncle sam' peace symbols drawn upon hand sanitizer and water sticking out of rear pocket.
I think everyone heard the silence loud and clear but below they've proven it...

Again with the 'what goes around comes around'... humans survival is about sticking together...
Skipping earlier video to process again but important I post these... Am trying to cope with what is going on... not sure what is going on with the authorities or the media that I am experiencing these problems but am interested to know. I do know I have had about enough of neurotypical identifying people finding creative ways to misapply authority to tell me that neurodivergents really should have nothing to say.
NOTHING ABOUT US WITHOUT US...

It is unclear what the red-blue division of information means to the red-blue line... below is an illustration of how it appears from the outside:
|
MY THOUGHTS I TRIED TO ARTICULATE... BUT EVENTUALLY I REALIZE MY CARTOONS DO A BETTER JOB OF EXPRESSING THE EMOTIONS...In the last few years we´ve near all been victim despite being varied in our initial response to covid-19 to acts of what I can best describe as moral sabotage by fickle authorities. The frequent reversals of narratives and the coaxing to community divisions was meant to damage your internal sense of integrity. Don´t let Uncle Sam sow that doubt between you and your neighbors about something that he redecides every two weeks. To err is human and adaptable and self-creative, to be perfect is a politic which isn't honest or real. If we needed authorities to be moral then we wouldn´t need one another... and we do. It´s an exchange. Mostly before the pandemic I was known for being a neurodivergent who protested the sanism of the insanity defense, who fought for the abolition of insanity defenses for violent and sex crimes and against the involuntary use of forced insanity defenses on legal defendants. I fought ableism and sponsored pride in identity. I recognize that some people may think my current protest is off track but it isn´t. A: Big Pharma just committed a crime against humanity of incalculable scale that was not only as ableist as all shit but was likely about the biggest size crime anyone really could take a bite out of. The human misery will no doubt impact the social order for several generations to follow. Collective bargaining of patients to seek human rights is no small deal to attempt, and fail or succeed in part or in whole I hope I am far from the final dissident to launch consumer rebellion at Pharma Ableism where it actually can begin to hurt that industry. B. Big Pharma blamed their crime against humanity on the unvaxed and dying themselves... also one of the biggest defenses of the wrongly accused I could ever hope to make as an individual... and with the incidence of break-thru it was clear and irrefutable evidence... most of those folk who the Pharmaceutical Giants blamed were in no way guilty of any effort to spread covid-19 instead Big Pharma lobbied and fought and bargained and threatened to ensure most of the world wouldn´t be able to vax fast enough to preserve lives in wave after wave after wave. It encouraged the vaxed to unmask and breathe on vulnerable people. I have not lost my core. And most of haven´t but if we fail to acknowledge how we've been morally sabotaged by the authorities and pick meaningless battles with our neighbors instead... not only might you lose your core... you may find yourself a target of the next crises for the powerful who need someone to play the role of the villain or the tragedy. ...I figure I need to apologize for my own mistakes and now I´ve much of my story out I´ll be working on both that and making better accessible... But being a vaccine holdout under a system of apartheid is not one of those apologies, giving up my apartment for someone else is not one, protesting the segregation of neurodivergents is not one. I am no one´s born allegory for sin just another human being learning from trial and error and responsible both for apologizing when I´ve erred and holding firm when I know I have to for what I know is right, protesting the eugenicists. I´m not perfect nor am trying to seem that way... but the vilification of certain human things do not make sense, nor is the supposedly progressive accommodation of deliberate harm justified. How many of us know how many ways that that is just what is happening sometimes. Those charades belong to those who seek to establish worthiness in comparison to people they don´t quite view as equal... Thank my lucky stars I am certainly not normal. My head is really cracked... and I'm glad of this... someone had to resist the fake science of born evil. Reformers... it isn't about you... humans have free will full stop, the consequences of both bad and good belongs to whomever done it all. If that isn't crystal clear you need to take a good hard look at what you are really about, and make sure you are who you think, because you cannot borrow any bit of other's reform... you are doing U. |
2-6-23 still ok.
[6-8-23] ^BACK THEN... of course I felt that the reaction by press to me was really strange... and others tended to agree... but I decided that if I made a big fuss... the stereotypes again would start about those who do versus those who don't vax from either side.
I was not trying to create a stir among people... I'd have enough background resisting exploitation already if I'd wanted to... to gain plenty attention by picking either side... at the cost of neutrality... but people should be allowed to make up their own minds about their body choices... and those dying for reasons that did not fit into the conflict narrative surrounding what other people think people should or shouldn't take... that was a dehumanization of those most harmed by the overreach of elites and the state... that form of censoring a disaster against us all... could change society. I've toughed it out dealing with my vulnerability... I posted the video to my website promptly but quietly... meanwhile I simply hoped to continue on... it sure wasn't seeming to be we hesitant that were arming hesitancy to provoke fear. Others demanded that conflict instead in the name of helping us... from both sides of the pro/anti vax conflict- they interrogated then used our fears to push an argument over all bodies... meanwhile it was neutrality to how a person chose to protect themselves that was the victim of actual censorship. |
2-6-23 Too much to update too little library time but am checking in... if any of my mostly unhoused pals up at Covington are wondering it got a bit noisy with the Mardi Gras where I sleep and I needed some supplies (better short broom etc.) so went down parish awhile. Had to prioritize sleep first by the time I made it into Mandeville. Still keeping at it. -April
Video caption: Big orange moon tonight (don't know if you saw it) 2-6-23 but my camera doesn't really do justice.
Pic caption: Sunset on the beach... good place to rest for a wanderer. |
The cop is wrong by the way... that's a non-driver ID if I could drive I'd likely be living in a van now... more to say but saving for when I recoup. Airhugs to my homeless pals up in Covington... hope you get to enjoy the parade tonight!

Then I really hit another wall... |
2/11/23 Am doing better than my feet which need a place to lie down at night apparently... mystery making sense now... too many updates too little time and going to have to stop sitting here at the library computer soon! Still plugging at it... I don't give up easy... if I wanted to make panic and quit I have passed by many opportunities... I'm still risking what I do because I believe in this cause! Wish me luck around those who'd rather I stopped!
Hope I get help spreading the word soon!!! TAKE A BITE OUT OF BIG PHARMA'S GREED. -April

Don't ask me to "pick sides over the pandemic...."
None of us was given all the answers. The pandemic is not your rise to power, and it should be no human being's.
No one should consider they or I think exactly alike just because you and I both care about stopping our exploitation. Because people should not indulge in asking themselves who is politically vetted well enough not to be a reservoir for whatever germ or poison it is you believe kills people.
No matter what you or I blame for being the matter... that basic accord is what being under the wall of a tsunami was supposed to feel like.
We aren't meant to keep our morals in order to assume the role of 'deserving survivor on earth', living isn't supposed to be vicious, instead, you and I, (I hope) maintain our convictions for our own goals of self-improvement. No one was told how to handle everything in the pandemic and no one failed to make mistakes, (me too). Holding out for greater equity before seeking to vax... just isn't one of my mistakes... no matter what befalls me. I firmly believe we all will carry our mistakes in this time as scars into our futures but also we carry one another on. If we choose to value that. I'm waiting to carry through with others and I'm waiting for the future that I actually want to come to pass.
Peace on earth and may goodwill suddenly breakout among all...

Perspectives...
A loved one confused me asking what perspective it was that I was trying to convince people to have… she said she was having trouble figuring this out. I guess she thought any site as political as to be about vaccines should be trying to draw more lines.
I got a lot of information just hanging out there so that others can make up their own minds… that is why I think it is hard to tell as well as why this site is pretty heavy with extra info. My perspective when offered is mine, others would have theirs… but it doesn’t seem a good reason to exclude anybody from supposed life-saving treatment that we are not politically the same…
On the other hand. I am the absolute stranger purposing that people share the vax, it would be as weird for me not to be open about my individual perspectives and motivations, I think. I am sometimes indecisive on interpreting as one thing or the other even some of my own experiences. I like to stay a bit open minded about what strange stuff I go through where it is not apparent why others acted as they do. Thus, you get what you see… a rambling wandering weird website about startling news as digested by someone randomly… with different opinions and curiosities that may not concern you.
Figure though I can move most the stuff about me mostly to another site when I get time. This way friends can look in on my life but this action site remains readable unless you want to know more about this person. That way I can still be transparent about where I’m coming from and why I am doing this without burying the site in daily life content while I hope to find those others with their own lives going on.
I’ve more content to post but am giving a heads-up I might just rearrange things around here when I can find time. I also realize if I am this limited I may have to find different strategies to post. I like video because it is easier to communicate than verbal, but it takes much longer to process after and my time is divided heavily now that I have to live without a solid place to remain.
I try to write words instead. Everyone wants me to smooth over a conflict they are feeding via belief therein. It takes time to deal with the new morsels thrown at the thing and digest. I hear people’s doubt in the conflict going away first of all so I am also fed their anxieties. Hours in front of a computer screen are no good when you have circulation issues… your feet go numb trying to second guess yourself. I think I understand why I like video and trying to let people make up their own minds about information that they can access, it’s better to show than to tell.
Anyhow both anti-vax and pro-vax people got plentiful coverage as opponents of the other… it’s the more neutral people who might be censored.
And to deal with two ‘sides’ supposed impatience it is challenging to be less well rested than either.
Frankly no one should be considered to hold or endorse all my opinions or know my whole life story just in order to judge if I deserve aid… that goes ditto for my mutual aid of whomever wants to plug into this protest of proprietary medicine. I hope this is simple enough?
Otherwise if there’s insight I lack I welcome it towards the goal but I already tried to wait for others who judge any such efforts. By now I’ve determined that there is little if anything the hesitant can do to mess up one another and it’s the non-hesitant that are rarely interested in actually involving themselves in anything but judgement of others. By which these avoid turning the mirror inward and asking what if.
I didn’t finish that ‘what if’ for you… do you already have an idea?
The refusal to be associated with anything having to do with the hesitant unless you can be credited with changing them is quite telling about some folk's motives for helping themselves... particularly when these same people who judge other's reactions spend a lot of time pretending the hesitant and people in general are no longer at risk. Deaths are not discussed anymore because it can no longer be pretended that transmission is solely the role of the unvaxed. Whenever someone is silent about something so huge the weight of it is huge. I want us to all work past that point of silence. I can read between the lines, and no one is fooled that you are doing okay either...
what is the future if the most shattering events, events we know may recur, we just can't talk about? I don't want a future where the only thing the community is concerned with is looking good to one another. Where neighbors die and it is very quiet. We always have different needs. That is my perspective. Conformity as a community moral is not biologically possible, attempting to make it socially so, is attempted for what purpose?

I WORKED VERY HARD BEING OPEN TO LEARNING WHILE LIVING MY BORING LIFE PICKING UP LITTER AND PHOTOGRAPHING THE SCENERY... I NEVER EXPECTED A PAIR OF SALAD THONGS OR POSTING FLYERS TO GET ME INTO AS MUCH WEIRD TROUBLE AS THE LOCAL AUTHORITIES DREAMED UP FOR ME THOUGH... OF WHICH I AM REASONABLY SUSPICIOUS WAS NOT A REASONABLE SUSPICION...
COPS IN GENERAL ARE OBVIOUSLY ANXIOUS ABOUT THEIR ACCOUNTABILITY... IRONIC THAT OFTEN THOSE MOST PRIVELEDGED TO THE GIFT OF COMMUNITY EXPECTATIONS... JUST THROW THAT AWAY.
THE SECTION ABOUT I.C.E. IS FINALLY FILLED IN... BUT MOST OF MY PRESENT DAY HAS JUST BEEN SUCESSFULLY DULL... LOOKING FORWARD TO TELLING LATER ABOUT THE ODD UPS AND DOWNS LIKE BEING FOLLOWED BY SOMEBODY'S ELECTRONIC PET DRONE (STILL DON'T KNOW WHOSE) AND HELPING TO RESCUE AND REHOME A GENTLEMANLY ROOSTER FOR THIS PERSON WHO HELPED ME SAVE MY OWN FEET... COMPARED TO THE POLITICAL BACKGROUND MY LITTLE LIFE HAS NOT SEEN MUCH FUSS. KINDA LIKE THE WEBSITE AND THE SURVIVING VUNERABLE WHICH ARE FORGOT BY THE AUTHORITIES THE MOMENT FORCE EXITS THE BARGAIN. IT'S COVID AUSTERITY COMING NEARER SOON... ONLY THE FORM OF THAT HAS CHANGED.
PEACE AND LOVE TO THE COMMUNITY... LET THE PAIN WE FEEL RENEW US ALL IN OUR COMMITMENT TO COMMON RESPECT.

Lot goes on that the world needs to change... and too much to all be the pandemic is going on local. Really not sure what is going on with the authorities what part is them trying to work on who primarily? Never finished going through my bag and don't look worried to me. Just sayin.
About the same time I am stopped as a suspected terrorist... Jordan Neely is lynched on a New York subway and articles both left and right are using what happened to argue that disabled people can't make own medical choices no matter how badly they disagree on what is normally bad for one another. Since when is segregation the answer to not being choked to death? I am still processing a formal response to how I feel about that faux concern for disability rights.
I decide to refer to this as the 'magic flashlights' problem I had with cops...
|
|
Above is what I could recover with free online software I found... have kept the original file in case I find a better tool...Case you are looking for the incident that inspired the funnie about Magic Flashlights...
Reflecting after being warned by cops what they imagine I might be doing or carrying that all this covid-19 mess and risking the pandemic and the streets has made it difficult to feel as shook up as you might think I'm supposed to... It has been how many years of dire warnings about trusted vs. untrusted pageants of advice not followed for the man on the street? Since when did a flashlight detect hidden devices that aren't really there?
I use the funnie to promote a cool website I found... think I saw portions of this video at a training once...
To take a bite out of fear... and protest the lynching of Mr. Neely by people who would justify lynching me as well... I shave my head around the scars... post my court transcripts online... dress up as a Giant Bunny Rabbit and travel aboard my new used scooter posting funnies for human rights. Yes, I have noticed I'm crazy... I prefer this as opposed to pretending to be non mal-adjusted.
Three videos before the library closes. Again having trouble with persistent well checks... this time twice in an hour... the second time is especially weird... this is happening to me as a visibly mentally disabled homeless person who is obviously been engaging in political activities that protest Big Pharma's profiteering (big sign on the stroller plus a QR code to this site)... it happens during a particular context and time nationally even before you get to what has been happening around me here.
Mentally disabled persons rights to live unsegregated in the community were already poorly protected enough... it is bad enough under the mere assumption of 'dangerousness to self or others or gravely disabled' where standards were weak enough to needlessly institutionalize many... but there is a national debate right now about segregating persons like me out of public spaces if both mentally ill and homeless...
...Because someone got lynched in N.Y.C. while mentally ill and homeless and all that about half of the papers covering that lynching on camera want to focus on... is how to prevent it from happening where people can see it.
But lynching-by-restraint is too common the cause of death in hospitals... much more common than on the streets... moreover... segregation out of public spaces should not be the punishment to any minority group because you sometimes get lynched in public. Normality IS the problem here.
I know that Jordan Neely is Black and you may be unaware it is a problem for anyone else so take note... seems no one is actually overtly discussing legislation segregating Blacks from the subways*... instead the public officials they think it's okay to talk about segregating poor and mentally ill people from public spaces because the normal people lynched someone on the subway who was disabled and poor while Black. That kind of "color-neutral" segregation thing still overtly happens* ... even if it is racially motivated while pretending not to be... the guise itself requires infringing on all the persons of that intersectional minority regardless of our race, and I am in both of the actual minority groups that are overtly targeted by this new fad of purposing legislation...
Never mind whatever race you are medical pretend-not-detention is incredibly lucrative.
I also know that Jordan Neely said he needed food and water before he got lynched and that that fact has been hyped up by the media to pretend that somehow asking for food and water when he actually wanted just couldn't afford some meant that he needed to be forced to eat or drink by taking all the freedom of everyone homeless and mentally disabled away. It is a way to ignore the class inequality for a short time. Like Covid-19 lockdown strategies... it's going to backfire bigtime on the arrogant out of touch people who are doing it... the question is how many poor mental dissidents during the present time have to be concerned?
When I suffered what censorship that I had in court before the pandemic, nearly no one believed that someone as known to my community as I was would hear that kind of overtly political medical threat applied... but they still threatened to institutionalize me if I kept up my own approach to solidarity. In the process they applied a weird logic indeed one that puts their own detainment system in far more disrepute than they attempted to levy at my brain if I didn't go along:

I still think that if all the current weird policing of me was all about the pandemic I wouldn't still be out here... the context of my striving for equity and accountability is far more complex than just the pandemic itself. I am here at the intersection of the interaction between the U.S.A.'s top three utilized forms of detaining persons within our borders trying to agitate better human rights. That isn't ignorable for the authorities... they just don't know how to react because those systems all work upon segregation that is fed by the assumed non-accountability of the people these three systems work to detain, more often than not unreasonably. It also intersects with the growing effort to regulate public spaces... as though we are inmates that might be segregated for reasons to do more with the personal whims of the powerful than with any constitutionally equitable law.
If things weren't so charged or this point in time... wasn't so weird... it wouldn't be an issue but it is.
I am trying to put that in context for others, but this shouldn't be my chore... police and others need to leave mentally disabled and homeless people alone when it is clear that we are not criminally stopped and we do not appreciate the attention, particularly when we've been coping in public just fine for months on public display... and so many normal people were at last given the option to decline recommended 'care' that became highly charged. Not aligning with whatever way the government wants you to take care of yourself.... is not dependent upon having any disability at all.
That said I think all the authoritarianism, and the profiteering by medical industries was all about forcing fear to come between and divide us that we might be more easily dominated and more easily censored from one another.
I am asserting my rights or attempting to in a context where fears are used to divide and conquer the public, by trying to explain why I do not think this is all about Covid-19... and why how what is happening still affects myself and others harmed by the state's medical authority being misapplied to crush dissent and to silence poverty... within and outside our borders... is still quite important in our present moment in terms of human rights and political freedom.
* this updated 5/23/23 Reverend Sharpton... https://www.msnbc.com/morning-joe/watch/how-effective-is-therapy-175672390002 ...who must be both emotionally and mentally exhausted after speaking for so many Black funerals... has declined to call what happened to Jordan Neely on his last subway ride a hate crime during an interview with MSNBC. I disagree with his decision there and I feel he's misspoke. For one thing Penney did tell other passengers to call 911 according to reports... so yes he's in error... but which hardly matters when the police took so long to place any charges... I think Sharpton was right at the funeral itself in guessing that police would have kept Penny if it were an Elvis impersonator who was white being strangled by a black man. Second... sorry Reverend Sharpton but it is nothing about us without us... you are neither homeless nor are you openly mentally ill at those intersections, and I think you missed some intersectionality with race particularly when to deflect from his act the subway strangler is imploring press that mentally ill persons should be segregated from where he might encounter them on a subway where he wouldn't be ashamed to strangle a stranger again...
YES that makes it a hate crime. Regardless of the race.
I could be lynched by Daniel Penney's supporters someday... My segregation and that of others with mental disability... the segregation of any minority en masse shouldn't be the answer to society's violence against them at large.
Above is wellness check one of the afternoon. Not sure what prompted it but fairly mundane. The second is (I believe) another cop within a short span of time. I do have face-blindness... but I think the second is a second police in the same place after a brief time. I thought they were leaving me alone... then another one does the weirdly insistent outreach when I refused to chat with the force.
Again... It is hard to say exactly what the cops think it is they are doing besides being very insistent about ignoring my right to remain silent. And offering 'help' regardless of whether that is desired or needed from them. When I rebuff all this... it moves to the idea that I'm on private property while being homeless (I have heard conflicting stuff about that grass from locals) but I did just do my laundry and buy lunch from the adjoining businesses....
Then I'm asked to pick up my stuff though I already have done so. I am again offered food despite having proved to the officer that I am not without food.
From now on, based upon debates surrounding the freedom of mentally ill homeless people who intrude upon other rider's subway experience while feeling hungry... I think it is wise of me to never finish lunch... just in case I have to prove that I do comprehend at my mid forties what a lunch is!!!
As a result of so many encounters I'm having trouble remembering all but the strangest... I'm wasting time uselessly recording cop vehicles in my vicinity... because I never know whether they will talk to me as though I'm a terrorist or a lost child next... just that every now and then they are making a scene that seems to be triggered by the fact that I am remaining silent and am not gratifying them in these efforts to engage.
Below is an illustration of the 'historically Black' as they term things here... that police lately keep trying to rescue me from. Honestly I have been homeless in Covington for months and have been napping without issue in other parks... then I discovered this neighborhood which was hard to find when I needed wide sidewalks for my bike. There is everything I need here and people seem fine with me there... I honestly don't think I could be in distress here but the police keep checking that I'm okay. So I decided to draw it. Minus some 'adult language' mostly in jest between people who know each other quite well... and the litter endemic to anywhere throwables are an industry... this is a park with a lot of civilian placed infrastructure and a lot of heart.

This site is now under archival-reconstruction... Due to HB 1365 passage in Florida I have had to travel and warn other homeless people of health-based detainment camps the government wants constructed for the homeless and the push to civilly commit Floridians for poverty. In protest I had decided to suspend operations to organize the mutual aid vial share in this state. I support patient choice and recognize we all make different choices... but the government should not force us... and is hypocritical of the Florida government to simply substitute one forced jab with another. I hope to be posting more info as I go... but my priority is warning others at risk of medical detainment about HB 1365's scheduled enactment into force of law. -April
