portraitsofboston: “Hey man, take my picture!” “I can’t do it. It’s too dark.” “Yeah, we need some light. Let’s go over there.” “Are you homeless?” “Yes, I am.” “How long have you been homeless?” “15 years. I’ve been in Boston 8 months. Before that I was in Washington, Virginia, New York, Philadelphia, Louisiana, Florida…” “Why didn’t you stay in Florida? It’s so much warmer.” “I wanted to see my family. But they don’t want to see me. They don’t understand depression. They treat me like dirt. Homeless people treat me better than my family.” “And what happened 15 years ago? How did you end up on the streets?” “I tried to burn myself twice. I had 30 surgeries. I was dead two times, but God brought me back. I don’t know why.” “And why did you do it?” “I was depressed. Why you crying?” “Because you are a beautiful person, and my family is really messed up, and I’ve been very depressed. I think I can understand you.” “Yes, I am a good person. And when you take people’s pictures, don’t disrespect them.” “No, man, I won’t. I like people. That’s why I take their pictures.” “And when you make your portfolio, don’t denigrate people. Let the pictures speak for themselves.” “I will. Are you safe on the streets?” “Yes, I am…And now I have $8 to buy me some food.” “That’s all I have. Next time I see you, I will give you more.” “No, man. It ain’t all about money. Give me a hug. And next time you see me, give me a hug again. And thanks for taking my picture.”

endless-fuckery: pugsies: PLEASE READ. WILL NOT HURT TO AND FORWARD. Kids are putting Drano, tin foil, and a little water in plastic drink bottles and capping it up - leaving it on lawns, in mail boxes, in gardens, on driveways etc. just waiting for you to pick it up intending to put it in the rubbish, but you’ll never make it!!! If the bottle is picked up, and the bottle is shaken even just a little - in about 30 seconds or less it builds up enough gas which then explodes with enough force to remove some your extremities. The liquid that comes out is boiling hot as well. Don’t pick up any plastic bottles that may be lying in your yards or in the gutter, etc. Pay attention to this. A plastic bottle with a cap. A little Drano. A little water. A small piece of foil. Disturb it by moving it; and BOOM!! No fingers left and other serious effects to your face, eyes, etc. Please ensure that everyone that may not have email access are also informed of this.  take this shit serioushly because this happened to me. my mom almost picked up these bottles and we had to move from our house because she didn’t feel safe anymore.  http://losalamitos.patch.com/articles/acid-bombs-found-at-a-rossmoor-park-and-home http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2012/12/acid-bombs-probed.html The above two articles are all about me, my home, and my family. Stay safe out there folks.
