Experiencing life difficulties due to Mom's sciatica blow-out... Am taking her to Colusa for a follow-up to the recent Glenn Medical ER visit... Wish me luck!

Coming to a Hot Topic t-shirt nowhere near my intolerant black ass...

My plausibly deniable, imaginary boyfriend's name is Mike. He's from Napa and is a Lance Corporal in the United States Marine Corps (reserve). His code name with the CIA is Sweet Pea. WHISKEY BRAVO GORGONZOLA!!! HUH GUYS?

Fine, If Anybody's Really That Entitled To My Honest Expressions of Paranoiac Negativity....

I want to be friends and meet, especially with odd darlings and cool cats I've as yet barely encountered (but such presences they are in their essentials!), and I don't deny myself the just desserts due me -- not that by the very nature of what's going on I could screw my own pooch, at least in the renumeration department (there would have to be some -- gasp! -- inimical, highly effective, indominable conspiracy afoot... I just have a difficult time thinking this is merely the dark before the dawn, the cloud whose silver lining is not yet apparent...

...

UPCOMING: The big ol' shindig for the Willie B. apartments in the Western Addition. Hopefully, they're less into this and that -ism and by which they hardcore discriminated against prospective tenants (wanting a vague "this-or-that" specific demographic they could serve, and have their own way, even as they received public funding, including from HUD.) They certainly never should have #displaced yours truly in violation of every common understood protection for SF renters, not without ample assurance from whatever boneheaded quarter they needed to that I would adequately and conveniently be dead soon after TNDC unethically and senselessly (and illegally?) evicted me... (It never did make sense as to why they rented 212 at the Alexander to me to begin with, and let me stay for 4 1/2 years.)

(BTW, I think there's some affidavit I have to sign in the City and County, perhaps at the Superior Court on Grove -- with or without an attorney? I'm not sure... Anyway, I wonder if this has something to do with my former landlord -- I ain't fixin' to be Elle Woods up in here. I know a lot of people have been mum on some huge issue surrounding me; Lord knows, I'm supposed to be taking some sort of hint on that. All so vague and weird... Oh, well, I'll pop in at the court as soon as I can make it to the City -- it is sort of a hardship to travel... Maybe I'll get there by July 24th?)

...

"Wait, is there some 'principle of the thing' about me and my so-far lifelong frequent poverty and privation, and that those involved are investing themselves in an hideously irritating, so-maddening-as-to-induce-homicidal-rage 'point' in arranging my situation (one that includes a timing component)? Is that why I'm being piously fucked over by some de facto conspiracy? Or is someone unduly taking out on me the fact that I read -- for pleasure! -- Foucault's Pendulum by Umberto Eco my senior year in high school?"

...

Still prone on occasion to auditory illusion voices, emotional stuff... I'm at my most hurtful, perhaps, when I can't take something for what it by virtue of being what it is as a promise... My nature is perverse insofar that I know: whether human or divine, assurances are unfortunately ironic.

ACTION: #KillTheBill

Medicaid Country: Dawn In Rural America

Call 866-246-9371 and urge your Senator to REJECT the Better Care Reconciliation Act, which unfairly affects HIV-positive Medicaid recipients, and weakens consumer protections....

Sometimes It's Enough....

Of Approximately 4,100 I Once Was One

Unfortunately, TNDC saw fit after an expedited and highly dubious process to evict me October 22, 2014. My rent was always paid, there were no complaints, no inspections by City or County workers, and in fact, on the day I was to be exited, the Sheriff's department was nowhere to be seen -- instead, five Tenderloin Station uniformed sergeants were there to scream at me and keep their distance...

I'm not sure what is due me, but something must be. TNDC and Donald Falk broke every law known to man in the City and County of San Francisco regarding tenants and recipients of HUD low-income housing.

Most recently, I've discovered that there is an affidavit at the Grove St. courthouse that demands I sign it. Not sure what to do there...

I Don't Need That Bullshit

PS Now apparently that is Jonesy under the house. She answers my "Meows" and is vocal with me... She might be an outside cat from now on... Doesn't explain who shaved off a tuft of her hair the day she was abducted, nor does it make sense of local law enforcement's bizarre behavior during the phone calls I made after she went missing...

Happy Pride!

Note the red ribbon: it was 1985, Richmond, California; the fight against AIDS (a disease primarily affecting the GLBT community, as well as women and minorities) was in full swing across the bay. Most everyone in our class picture wore one.

Let Them Eat...

"None of us suffers as much as we should, or loves as much as we say." —Djuna Barnes, Nightwood

Woke up at midnight, and found it was the only time I could bake... Made a two-layer chocolate cake with (unfortunately runny) cream cheese frosting; and a batch of chocolate chocolate-chip cookies...

(Dedicated to Arthur, Bernie, et al. -- to all the odd ones in Rialto, whoever might be over there at 821, and for Noni's kids... Happy Summer!)

To Build a Home - The Cinematic Orchestra (Lyrics)

There Will Be A Light

....For Anthony Hill....For Bettie Jones and Quintonio LeGrier....For Keith Lamont Scott....And for the Rhoden Eight of Pike County, Ohio (three children of the family did survive through the nightmares in their heads, and should live though they might forever be scarred....)

So many of us still live, and through this day, scores drown in the Mediterranean escaping North Africa; Athens is on fire; Cairo and Caracas bleed.

But this isn't over, and we shall overcome.

UPDATE: Just on PBS: Since 2005, 82 non-federal police officers have been charged with murder or manslaughter after having taken another's life in the line of duty....

I have yet to be compensated to my satisfaction by Walmart for the fact that one day, I put Clackamas meat in my mouth that never should have been sold. They still try to put on their self-indulgent little shitshow every time I come in to buy groceries, but as recently as yesterday, what did I see in the meat department but this:

I have a pretty good feeling about Doug McMillon in Bentonville, and I doubt he'd have a problem chucking the several thousand I averred would mollify me onto the NetSpend card for which I gave him and his people the routing number and account number.... Then again, he could always just donate to my GoFundMe site for these dang house renovations that are so pressing....

...

Jonesy's still missing, I'm pretty sure; it looks like somebody else dropped off a "new" cat of the same breed by our house -- one that is still under the house and has no interest in us. I hope she is altered, otherwise mom's going to have more kittens on her hands....

Sarah at the San Francisco SPCA (where Jonesy has her papers for having been altered and innoculated) asked if I had reached out to local law enforcement and animal control. I assured her that they've made clear, in both Colusa and Glenn counties, that I'm not to expect to be protected or served.... Odd man out, for some reason or another (not that I didn't try.)

Missing Cat in ZIP 95979: Jonesy

It's been over a week since someone abducted my 8 lb., blue-eyed seal point cat, Jonesy -- they might even have broken into the house to do so. Every time I call local law enforcement, I get worse than no help (is that even Colusa County or Glenn County sheriff's deputies who are picking up the phone...???)

Jonesy is almost eight years old and has been with me almost all her life. She has been altered (a cursory examination of the abdomen should reveal two small arrow-shaped tattoos), and has had her shots (her papers are on file with San Francisco's SPCA under my name, William R. Way as well as her own...)
