Pointing north from the Lloyd District, into the burning sky.

Thanks for seeing my work!

As humanity works our tireless endeavor of heaping wealth on a trillionaire, there are people without homes, and they’re not being shown proper justice. Being denied from society and compassionate interaction, they’ve realized that drugs don’t judge.

We failed as a society.

    Very true. I always have the dichotomy of feeling bad for them but also not wanting to be near them for fear of mugging or being stabbed by someone with a mental disorder.

    And yet, the only time I’ve been stabbed by a stranger, was a white guy who was wearing a button-down and slacks. It wasn’t drugs or mental illness, just good old transphobia that put me in the hospital back in ‘13. He wasn’t charged cause he wasn’t found, and I couldn’t remember his face.

    But yeah, the homeless and mentally ill just mostly want help and to be left alone. The bigots and racists are looking for trouble.
