King David’s thoughts on the impending collapse of society.
All in PEOPLE MATTER
He was a Monster
"And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird."
---Revelation 18:2
So We've got a Break from these Fucking Miserable Student Loans
King David is all in favor of eliminating student loans entirely and sending the Federal Government the tab, but that’s unlikely to happen. We’ve been thrown into modern day sharecropping. The only way to improve your education is to suffer in debt. American students have been convinced by the Boomer generation that they must go to college to have any success in life meanwhile racking up credit card debt while struggling to pay unforgiving monthly loan payments.
The Dark Table Vancouver: Eating in Total Darkness
“She began to tell us about the restaurant experience and that it would involve eating in total darkness. When I’d read the restaurant’s description, I thought it would be more of a low-light and intimate experience. Nope. Total blackness. I could not see anything. All the light in the universe had faded. Yuko told us that we were going to form a train and I proceeded to put my arms on her shoulders with Michael mimicking my gesture behind me.” [700 words]

COVID 19 - The Vital Need for Community
“Communities are tough to come by in this isolated quarantined world. They provide a common space and activities for their members. Throughout good and bad, small collectives provide support nets for us. But, with the Covid-19 outbreak, we’ve struggled to maintain close communities and it feels like the groups I’ve helped lead and strengthen are weakening. Humans are social creatures and depriving us of meeting others is criminal. Still, these times are temporary, and for the greater good, we must maintain our focus on spending time with others.”
COVID Quarantine Journal Day 7
“It’s been a week since I joined the quarantine with the rest of the masses. I’d been driving through the apocalyptic wasteland from Chicago. Not much was out of the ordinary. My companion and I were able to order food at restaurants and drink beer, but this time, in the parking lot. Throughout our journey, we only “dined-in” once in North Platte, Nebraska. Returning home, I hardly noticed anything after the first few days of no social activity.” [652 words]
Young People Love Bernie Sanders: A Guide for Baby Boomers
“Baby Boomers can’t seem to understand why Bernie Sanders is appealing to so many young people. I’ve been a Bernie supporter for 5 years and I’m here to tell you why. I’m going to try my best to be friendly and cordial. I won’t yell and I won’t try and convince you to change your vote.”
Laughs: Counseling and Abrasive Adolescents
“At the main office, the teacher thanked me for coming and stated with vigor, “He’s the most oppositional and disrespectful kid I’ve ever seen. His parents are monsters and I can never finish anything in my classroom with him around!” I ensured the teacher that this was not my first crisis call and that I was well prepared to deal with a 6-year old. Eh, maybe he was 5. It doesn’t matter. I only ever took one childhood development class in college, so 5 or 6, who cares?” [646 words]
We Need Universal Healthcare! My Healthcare Spending 2018-2019
“But, King David, why didn’t you buy a better health insurance plan? King David, why weren’t you able to negotiate the costs down? You shouldn’t have gone to the ER! You should have done your research. It’s your fault you’re broke.” I’ve heard it all.” [760 words]
The Holidays are Coming: Should you give your racist family the time of day?
“Their crime is hardly in daily microaggressions or misgendering, but in empowering nationalist bigots like Stephen Miller and Miller’s erection for white nationalism, who has actively worked to create policies to harm and create second class citizens of minority populations. Your relatives allowed this to happen and made a grave error. When you make mistakes, there are repercussions.” [444 words]
