   I sincerely apologize to everyone who may be offended and/or put off for the shouting and begging tonight here.

   I cannot and will not apologize, however, for the feelings of frustration and despondency I am facing right effing now because I have to go through this crowdfunding solicitation every two Goddess damn weeks, because our society hates disabled and marginalized people.... especially if you are Black, poor, old, and can't be whipped into free labor for other's profits. It's TIRING.

     It is getting to the point where I may have no choice but to risk my health and go against my doctor's orders' and find enough work to pay my bills. But, if I end up actually worse because of that, the same fools who always taunt and bully marginalized folk like me with "GET A JOB, LAZYA$$!!!" will simply lay over my body like vultures about to pick me clean to the bones and riff about "Yeah, we knew he was a weak-a$$ n****r, let him die!!"

     Cruel, racist, capitalist society we live in.

     Let me make this perfectly clear: even in this Goddess-forsaken world where it does sometimes feel like no one gives a damn about you, I cannot deny the absolute good in lots of you folks who make the effort to walk the talk of the light of humanity, empathy, and respect. And, I'm not just talking about those who concistently share and donate to save my particular old Black ass. I'm talking about those even with nothing to give yet still bust their asses to make things better for all of us.

     The good thing about being an Indy Leftist for as long as I have been is that when moods like what I am in hit, I can process my ennui in a way that doesn't put it all on myself and self pity, because I know it's the system and its malfunctions and maldistribution of power and resources that are really to blame.

     More motivation to fight on, rather than surrender and quit. Anger at injustice is a proper form of struggle. Fear not....tough going only drives tougher go-ees.

     @AnthonyJK you don't have to apologize to anyone offended at you asking for money. Fuck them deeply. It's fucking tough out here.

     I'll keep boosting your posts, and if anybody I know is giving you shit let me know so I can cuss them out and block them.

     No worries, and thanks for the support. Again, I get moody like that sometimes, but it rapidly goes away when the anger kicks in and I feel the need to (figuratively speaking) break some fools off. Good to know I'm not alone.
