i was sittin on a lovely bench last night
looked to my right
a couple of guys
and one ems wife
all drinkin smokin cigarettes
on the saturday night
i was thinkin
about how i had nothing but
a light
one em walked over to the trashcan
next to me and dropped his half beer in and gave me a grin
well it wasnt a grin but it was some kind of look
as i looked at the beer i would have gladly took
fall down
just no consideration
man down man down

as he walked back
he mumbled something about how "its just a beer, cant even throw a beer away, """"

i thought maybe he assumed i was an environmental nut
scoffing at a bottle not being
recycled

i had had enough
time to move on
i get up and they are blocking my way

i judge the go around
no fucking way
i got all night but not all day


i move to walk through
the group of three
two men standing
much bigger than me
the woman sitting alone laughing
on the bench made for three

the man in the middle stops laughing and looks at me
i gesture because i just want to walk by
and he asks me
"do you got a problem?"
all my problems surface in my mind and i sigh
as i know ill tell him
every goddamn one

and i realize this is just an alpha thing and these alphas are drunk
they want to fight someone
but me seriously
do they think
that i think
im bruce fucking lee

i just hold up the crumpled cigarette i had found on the ground
and ask if i could have one of theres they had been passing around

the man says to the woman on the bench
oh he just needs a light
although he heard me wrong
it sounded for a second
we might get along
and she looks over and sees the lighter in my other hand
and tells the man
he has a light
and he looks at me
and i clarify
for my habit justice and peace

as all three take a moment looking at me
i notice the pause
and the man says no
and like someone pressed play
the woman took her hand out of her purse
and they all stayed quiet
looking at me

the end
and not the end

happy birthday

How to Apply for a Bed
To qualify as a bed recipient, you must be the legal guardian of the child or children ages 3-17 years old receiving the bed or a referral from a school, Social Service, family or other local agency.

Selecting a Recipient




Sleep in Heavenly Peace is always eager to help families in need whose kids have uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. Unfortunately, we can only help families who are close to our active chapters.

Once we receive an application, our selection committee will review it. Selecting a recipient isn’t done on a first-come, first-served basis—we make our decisions based on which children need beds the most.

We make and deliver twin size beds as supplies and donations allow. When we’re out of beds or bedding, we file unselected applications away until we can make more. Unfortunately, we can’t guarantee that every applicant will get a bed.

Sleep in Heavenly Peace is always eager to help families in need, particularly ones whose kids have uncomfortable sleeping arrangements. Unfortunately, we can only help families who are close to our active chapters.

Therefore, you must fit the following criteria to receive one of our beds:

Location: You must live near one of our active chapters. To find your local chapter, view our locations here.
Living Environment: You must have an accessible house or apartment with a room large enough to fit one of our beds.
Contact: We must be able to contact you via phone, text or email.
Necessary Documents: You’ll need to fill out our online SHP Application Form. If your application is accepted, you’ll need to sign an Indemnification Release Form prior to delivery.
Ages: Kids need to be 3-17 years old.
PLEASE NOTE THAT NOT ALL CHAPTERS ARE TAKING APPLICATIONS AT THE CURRENT TIME, BUT WILL BE IN THE FUTURE.

You can check your zip code below, to see if a SHP chapter covers your area and if they’re taking applications:

It was so clear once again; you're looking forward to a long weekend with the family, finally have the capacity to actively meet up with your social environment again after weeks (aka best conditions), only for something to come up again...

Now I have an extra long weekend just for myself again, although I was looking forward to going out with my family...

Maybe I'll just go out at the weekend anyway, even if it's just with myself

Is she right?

"Decisions in America are based solely on the question of how much money will come out of it and not on the questions of how much health, morals or environment suffer as a result." Martina Navratilova

You know, I post a lot about how well I do in my courses, but goddamn do I work in such a great IT environment.

Lol..that annoying 12 year old looking, now 20 year old greta thunberg chick got sentenced in court earlier today to pay a fine for leading an unauthatized demonstration that blocked oil tank trucks from leaving a harbour in malmö and obstruction of the law. Few hours after the verdict and release she was arrested again for doing the same damn thing in the same damn place -_-
wtf did she think was gonna happen..maybe its time for to go back and actually finish high school, get a degree in some environment programe and THEN do something that might be actually useful for the environment instead. a small 10 people gathering is not gonna do shit, a waste of time. use your brain

"The Biden administration and many state officials view nuclear energy as essential to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and staving off the worst effects of a warming planet."
