I do what I can to share useful information. In addition to to speaking out on HN, I blog about things like homelessness and LGBTQ issues.

If you wish, I could direct you to some of my writing. Beyond that, I don't personally know. "The System" tends to not have good answers.

Personally, if anyone cares, the most important thing someone like me needs eyes on them to keep accountability against abuse. Basically I need help defending my right to peace, civil rights.

Empowerment, opportunity come second, I think.

I don't know much about the system. I'm not interested or in-need of explicit welfare or handouts, and everything else was a massive waste of time.

Hate and abuse, tyranny, bullying, whatever you call it I think can happen to anyone, or any group, but it usually happens to people who were weak, or who experienced it before. Once it happens more than once you become such a target for opportunists, and pariah for everyone else who is "just following their self-interest."

I honestly don't even know what the best thing to do is.
