He got sicker and sicker and there were pretty much zero support services for the poor outside temperamental churches there. Public transport was dismal. He had horrible chronic health problems the ERa couldn’t address.
I wish I could have gotten him out but he wasn’t in a mental state to consent.
I can’t stop thinking about the redistricting in TN. My cousin, who practically lived as my only brother for years after his parents passed away, died indigent in TN. I had to dig his belongings out of insects and food waste and pay for his cremation. He was 38. There were no mental support services
New, from me: Canvas Breach Disrupts Schools and Colleges Nationwide
"An ongoing data extortion attack targeting the widely-used education technology platform Canvas disrupted classes and coursework at school districts and universities across the United States today, after a cybercrime group defaced the service’s login page with a ransom demand that threatened to leak data from 275 million students and faculty across nearly 9,000 educational institutions."
"Canvas parent firm Instructure [NYSE:INST] responded to today's defacement attacks by disabling the platform, which is used by thousands of schools, universities and businesses to manage coursework and assignments, and to communicate with students."

It’s super cool that a state that would let a person under 40 vanish and die in a pile of rubbish with next to no mental, physical, or living support is focusing on important stuff like making sure a couple blue dots can’t have elected representatives.
I'm winning
