I’m sure there’s some seagull out there with a 1000-yard stare who went through the most fucked up shit of his life in the 90’s and still remembers it like it was yesterday. He hangs out down by the bars and drinks discarded alcohol out of the trash, trying to forget, and then flies around drunk bumping into things.
The other seagulls look at him and shake their heads with pity “he used to be such a good gull… so full of promise.”
The guy in the photo was raised by black sharecroppers, a target of an assassination, a multimillionaire inventor/carnival worker, and lost it all only to finally find his rhythm after being homeless and destitute.

Sue landlord in small claims court if they try to steal your deposit.
I did this to a landlord who tried to rip us off with a bunch of bullshit fees after we left the house in immaculate condition. We tried talking to them and they wouldn’t even respond. It cost me about $100 for the court fee and to have them served. They must have known they fucked up because they paid up (deposit and court fees) almost immediately.
It pissed me off because I guarantee I’m not the first person they pulled that shit on.
