pasjrwoctx👽<p>I find no solace in silence for my screams for help fall on deaf ears, I see no clarity in vibrant colors for my pleas for help are a stark contrast compared to what I receive, there's no value in a sunny day and a warm breeze when you live Frozen in poverty, there is no foundation worth standing if the structure is hollow in action, for time goes on but my existence is long past trapped in a void unable to escape, a body in pain a mind melting away, motion has crippled any chance of Hope, for the pouring rain has drowned my soul below despair;</p><p>You can encourage my continued useless <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poetry</span></a>, random thoughts and ideas, and by doing so your helping to feed, house and clothe a <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=disabled" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>disabled</span></a> man living in <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a>, $5-10-15 It All Helps, via <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=cashapp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>cashapp</span></a> at $woctxphotog or via <a href="https://social.2ndshot.photos/search?tag=paypal" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>paypal</span></a> at <a href="https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=5BN5MB5BVQL22" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=…</a></p>
Looking for explanations…<p>It’s pretty flaming obvious that this sets people up for abuse. Whether it’s a person on disability support, or a parent who is the carer of young &amp;/or disabled child… They are basically in the position of saying to a potential partner, “Are you willing to take on me and my situation, knowing that this will place both of us under financial stress, &amp; do you promise not to resent me as a result or use the situation to justify abuse?”<br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Disabilty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Disabilty</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/DomesticViolence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>DomesticViolence</span></a><br><a href="https://aus.social/tags/Poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Poverty</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-07-30/disability-support-pension-partner-income-test-dsp-centrelink/105366402?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=other" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">abc.net.au/news/2025-07-30/dis</span><span class="invisible">ability-support-pension-partner-income-test-dsp-centrelink/105366402?utm_source=abc_news_app&amp;utm_medium=content_shared&amp;utm_campaign=abc_news_app&amp;utm_content=other</span></a></p>

A quotation from La Bruyere

A man is rich whose income is larger than his expenses, and he is poor if his expenses are greater than his income.
 
[Celui-là est riche, qui reçoit plus qu’il ne consume; celui-là est pauvre, dont la dépense excède la recette.]

Jean de La Bruyère (1645-1696) French essayist, moralist
The Characters [Les Caractères], ch. 6 “Of Gifts of Fortune [Des Biens de Fortune],” § 49 (6.49) (1688) [tr. Van Laun (1885)]

The full story about how messed up my week has been.

I am posting a video on #youtube and #scoopz every single time something weird or messed up happens from now on.

Maybe I'll get famous for the survival of the BS #tourettes gets me into.
