So This Is How The World Will End: by Rick Castro 4/23/2020
I have nothing to write about today. Nothing happened, nothing is interesting, and it’s not writers block. It’s apathy.... Apathy for fellow human beings who do absolutely nothing to help one another. My family is MIA, my friends are in their own desperations of keeping their lives together. All the structures that are supposed to be there in time of need are not.
Apparently I’m not in dire enough need to qualify for the thousands of grants, and subsidies I see offered online every hour. I’ve pleaded and begged with my landlord, utilities, and phone provider my situation to please give me a break… I need a fuckin break.
MetroPCS whom I’ve been with for over six years, postures like buisness as usual during this pandemic and will not extend any more hotspot. In the remote high desert, this is the only way I can be online. So far this month, I’ve spent $95 to have wifi. I’m sure for many of you that’s nothing, for me it’s allot, because I have no more $$ to spend. therefore I cannot post my diary, host virtual tea salons, virtual Happy Hour!, virtual Book Club and virtual writing workshop, because I have no more access to internet.
So I have nothing to say today. I’ll just post some pretty pictures.
So this is how the world will end.
