Sometimes Privacy Invasion is Real!

The sign says "Send police! Stop stunt!" It is a Myra Sue original from when I lived at the Couer d'Alene Plaza apartment complex in Spokane, Washington. Here I am pictured outside the local shop Boo Radley's, located next to the apartment complex. The inside of my apartment was plastered with signs, in a hope that someone who was invited to participate in an alleged spy operation , would see the signs on a remote screen and call the police to end what I called the "Privacy Invasion Stunt." I just recently added the anarchy symbols to the sign prior to my recent photo shoot. Most of the art work and signs from my apartment did not survive. They were left behind or later damaged by moisture in my parent's storage. Apparently,none of my alleged spies were brave enough or willing to rat out the rest of my alleged spies. One of my neighbors was very happy to see me get evicted.

Here's the store front for the shop Boo Radley's.

Sometimes privacy invasion is a figment of our imagination, and sometimes it's real. Although I've been diagnosed with schizophrenia, I still to this day believe it's possible that I was really spied on, and I felt that I was at high risk for a real spy operation.

Here I am outside my old apartment complex, the Couer d'Alene Plaza apartments.

I was evicted in January, 2016 due to having a hoarding disorder and my apartment being overgrown with books, huge art projects made from "junk", left-over packaging, and random paperwork I'd saved over the years.

If the Biblical God is Real, He's a Genocidal Dictator: Preview

Illustration by Lord Moon Written by Myra Sue St. Clair Baldwin I have more research to do before writing a reflective essay titled "If the Biblical God is Real, He's a Genocidal Dictator!" Update (10/15/2019): Since I've been researching this topic, I have discovered that there's other material out there making many of the same points that I make. I like the title I chose, though. This project is on hiatus for now, although I will be adding some links to other material for my readers to look at. I plan to later read some of the literature out there that includes points I was planning to make, and eventually write a reflective essay & summary of the material - including stressing some of the points I was planning to cover myself. I'm going to add another blog post covering my experiences with schizophrenia and homelessness. I'm on medication for my schizophrenia and currently not having symptoms of schizophrenia in the past. I wil...

Profiles in Black History: Kwame Ture (formerly Stokely Carmichael)

Written by Sean P. McKelvey Last week I wrote about Bayard Rustin; an essential figure in the civil rights movement, who seems basically left behind and forgotten by our history books. Unfortunately, there are a whole slew of activists that were instrumental in ushering necessary change into American society – when it needed it most – that are strangely (and suspiciously, may I add) left out of our history books. This week, I want to place a special spotlight on Kwame Ture aka Stokely Carmichael; another shining example of someone incredibly important yet seemingly left out of history, altogether. Kwame Ture was born Stokely Carmichael in Trinidad in 1941. He moved and resided in the United States of America from the age of 11 until his eventual exile from the states, which came later in his life. He was exiled after years of activism and academic critique of the U.S. American system that still greatly oppressed himself and basically, any and all other members of his...

Moderates Will Kill Us All

Orion Moon By Sean P. McKelvey I am so damn sick and tired of the supposed “opposition,” party in my country; telling me that centrism and moderacy will win, and root out the social and political evils, happening today. There is quite literally no logical, intellectual, or historical basis to support this, flawed, disingenuous and outdated philosophy. We all remember when those incredibly moderate, political activists, effected real change; in regards to race, class, gender, sexuality or belief system, right? Yeah, that was quite literally; never in our collective, or any other society’s, for that matter, entire god damned history. Political radicals brought you Civil Rights, Gay Rights, an end to slavery, workers rights, women’s rights, religious freedom, representative democracy instead of monarchy, ended European fascism (the French Resistance, Spanish Revolution, an end to German and Italian fascism, the New Deal, Medicare, Medicaid, Food Stamps, Federa l H...
