Beautifully said. Thank you. Viva Luigi!
When we call the system “broken,” we imply malfunction. We imply the system is trying to help and failing. We imply that fixing it means adjusting mechanisms, replacing parts.
But what if it’s running fine? What if it’s doing exactly what it was designed to do?

Tom, it would be a great pleasure to shake your hand. After a decent sit-down, you really might "miss me", at least a little.
I used to be Somebody. 🤷♂️

Every word of this.
James Van Der Beek had begun selling priceless mementos from his career in order to save his family from the financial stress. He needed a GoFundMe! Now imagine those of us out here who aren't well connected. It's heartbreaking.
We must do better. 🩷

@theoriginaltomjoad.bsky.social Would you be willing to repost this ⤴️ for me? The medical bills just keep piling up and I'm overwhelmed. We've also been told our landlord is selling our house so we have to move. It's all too much and I can't do it alone. I'm grateful for your help! 🩷

It's a precarious place;
being nobody's anybody.
Like the constant dripping of water on a heart-shaped stone, loneliness leaves an impression.
Oh well, you can't drown a man that's born to hang. ☯️

Your kind words are appreciated mate. Reading some of your heartfelt essays; I like to imagine that it's just two old geezers shooting the proverbial bull on the porch. Eventually your lovely Patricia would shoo me on down the road, as well she should.
Til then, it's like talking to an old friend.✌️
