13.0.3.11.12 thoughts on race
Why is it that prior to 1968 and the Civil Rights Act the Black community was doing much better than it is now? Greenwood, OK was one of the wealthiest communities in the country… until it was burned to the ground. Where were the police when that happened? Where was the national guard? Where was the…

Yeah. I’m still angry. It’s a foolish and pointless anger. I may as well be angry at the rock obstructing the path. None the less, I’m still angry. Goldangit people. Are you that fucking stupid?

13.0.3.6.19 A Dog’s Life
My dearest Scotty, I am sorry. I wish with all my heart that you had gently died in your sleep one night after a life overfull. I feel like I betrayed you, that I cut your life thread too short and that tomorrow, maybe, you would have been back to your old self. Ears perked, eyes…
