If you haven't heard it Chris Hedges has a fab two part documentary about coming home it came to mind immediately listening to your views through a lens of humanity.. some of the common themes of the hellish system resonates where it creeps through. Chris has taught in prison for many, many years and works to have folks tell their stories in their own words.. pretty powerful stuff.. keep sharing truth.. write and rant on! :~) https://chrishedges.substack.com/p/the-chris-hedges-report-podast-the#details

Nothing yet, I'll give it a week and then cancel that account to see if I can get my money back, since I don't really have 50 bucks to be throwing into the void.

Also please feel free to link my articles wherever, obviously I'm a little lacking with exposure.

Yep I've tried to reach out but never heard back, it's a crowded ecosystem who knows, I've followed his war reporting for a very long time, I cite him a couple times in tremble the devil. 

Oh I guess that sub stack is new though, maybe a comment there will get noticed, thank you!

I've never seen him interact in the Substack comments it's probably a safer bet using contact at Scheerpost site.. they're a small friendly crew and fab collection of authors too. :~)

And I just checked and I'm pretty sure I already tried that exact form before a few weeks ago or months and never heard back.

Since I had to pay to comment on the Substack hopefully it doesn't get buried

I checked and I saw him in the comments, so I'll give it a couple of days and reach out there if there's no response

No response, canceled my membership, there's a large group of people who like to jerk themselves off trying to work in prisons acting like they care, when in reality all they want to do is feel like a good people and score the moral points. 

Looks like that most people alive at this point, last time I try and waste my time and money on a stranger.

Strong clear voice.

I think Jesus was a rebel against hierarchy.

Oh hell yeah he was, at least that is very much what is meant in his spirit.

The next really long piece will dig very deep into that.

Insightful. I had a DUI 4 years ago. Worst night of my life in community jail. The "rich" white gal who was fretting over why bail was taking so damn long (on a Sat - not realizing how LUCKY I was to get out at 930 pm). Gave me a day to watch the dynamics once I got out of the drunk tank and thrown into an area with real convicts. One black gal was super nice. Let me use her clean toilet as my cellmate threw used feminine products on the floor & stole my bunk pad. To this day I wish I had gotten her name to put in a good word for that girl.

Yeah it's interesting how quickly that environment brings out both the best and worst in people. 

Definitely a learning experience all around.

I like the audio! Looking forward to listening to some of the existing articles (perhaps with some addendums if there are any interesting updates to some of the Covid ones)

Oh yeah absolutely, there's going to be an extemporaneous running commentary because otherwise I would go insane just reading my own words back to myself!!
