left home at 17. found work in another town, another island in fact. travelled back and forth with the seasons. never unemployed, even when the rate was high. i was lucky i could do this. most of life is luck- a roll of the dice, a series of flukes mostly. luxon hasn't the wit to comprehend this.

as someone who has no belief in human progress i am nevertheless still disappointed when, yet again, my cellphone inexplicably refuses to function as a simple phone. i would be content to revert to a shared party line, a service as reliable as it was effective.

If you would have told me 2 years ago that Yemenis and Italians will be the only people seriously trying to end this genocide...

I am seeking 50% of rental income from the property I am renting. After all the landlord wouldn’t be making any rental income if he didn’t have a tenant. Furthermore, if the rent is being used, in whole or in part, to pay a mortgage for the property, then I am entitled to an ownership share as well.
