It's Christmas Eve here in the 724000 (Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam) and the forecast definitely doesn't include snow. But here's wishing everyone a Merry Christmas, and for those in the dark of the soul don't become a statistic. Make it through today and life will brighten up soon.

Thai music and they know their cowbell.

I'm pretty sure this Bieber Christmas song has a repeated shout out to the worm gods from Dune.

@LeeFGabel @deaftool @kkjacobs70 @NexusEngel @AuthorEllie @elishasbooks @Mama_Ezekiel @3WKremer @MQuigley1963 @Outlawpoet1970 @leftybookophile Easter, huh, I hear that’s a thing in some parts of the world. Sorry for the late input but been a busy week. Finally got my exit visa and I’m leaving on a jet plane tomorrow morning. Going to Bangkok for the proverbial visa run then, hopefully, work permit. Good luck all.

@LeeFGabel @deaftool @spvarga29 @kkjacobs70 @NexusEngel @AuthorEllie @elishasbooks @Mama_Ezekiel @MQuigley1963 @leftybookophile I’m hoping to navigate the red tape and finally be able to leave Vietnam. Though I’m coming right back, but the Covid visa situation is messed up for anyone who stayed here during the last two years. 5am wake up tomorrow to go to immigration and throw elbows to get a number. Ugh.

An old man fixing a #Saigon delivery driver's #motorbike in #District5, #HoChiMinhCity. Life in #Vietnam is full of interesting images and impressions, and my new post contains just a few from a single afternoon. Check it out.

#Saigon #Traffic in front of a #FrenchColonial school in #Distrifct5, #HoChiMinhCIty. One of the sights and impressions gathered in an afternoon of thinking, worrying, and writing deep in the heart of the city. #Vietnam life. Check it out.

A #FrenchColonial school in District 5, #HoChiMinhCity. Left over from the #French occupation of #Saigon. One of the sights to be seen in an afternoon spent thinking, #Writing, and worrying as I look forward to a new week and some new ideas. Check it out.

A #homeless man on the pedestrian walkway overlooking Nguyen Trinh Cu. One of the scenes I captures from an afternoon in #Saigon. #HoChiMinhCity, now, a city of nearly 11 million people and full of scenes vital to life in #Vietnam. Check out my new post.

@LeeFGabel @deaftool @Lovely12L @kkjacobs70 @NexusEngel @relaurel12 @AuthorEllie @elishasbooks @Mama_Ezekiel @MQuigley1963 @leftybookophile Happy April Lee and all. Been a bit of a rollercoaster lately. Glad you kept me on the list. Good vibes and grooves full of funk await us all in this brand new quarter of 2022. Good luck everyone with writing and life. I know I need it so I imagine a few of you might too.

The streets of #Saigon offer some of the most exhilarating views in all of #Vietnam. A few images and written impressions gathered in an afternoon spent thinking, writing, and worrying in #HoChiMinhCity. Check out the new post.

[Steven Jacob @sdjacob30]

#Vietnam offers a great deal more than one might think, and spending an afternoon worrying and thinking and writing in between wandering the #Saigon streets offers both pictures and written impressions. Check it out.

An afternoon of thinking and writing and anxiety in #HoChiMInhCity. #SaigonLife. Some thoughts and pictures accumulated over the weekend in one of the best cities on earth.

I’m 3 weeks in to this dosage of anti-depressant and still depressed. If it doesn’t kick in over the weekend I’m requesting a med change. I want to wake up and write like I used to, and maybe enjoy life sans the blues. Wish me luck #WritingCommunity. #MentalHealth. #Depression.

@LeeFGabel @3WKremer @deaftool @relaurel1 @kkjacobs70 @NexusEngel @AuthorEllie @elishasbooks @MQuigley1963 Hey Lee. March is full of great days. I’m making fitful progress so far this month, still struggling with depression but trying to get the writing in nonetheless. Here’s hoping everyone gets some good words in before the best of months passes into history. Good luck all.

[Steven Jacob @sdjacob30]

@LeeFGabel @deaftool @relaurel1 @kkjacobs70 @NexusEngel @AuthorEllie @elishasbooks @MQuigley1963 @DC_Binns_author Hey Lee. I did not watch the game, didn’t even know who was playing. I did learn the word for owl in Vietnamese this week, though. And doing some writing. Write nearly 5,000 words the last two days. Hope everyone is finding your flow and getting in the groove. Good luck this week

Has #America ever truly been #free? The #founders sought to limit the #franchise to wealthy #whitemen. What would happen if we revisited their #constitution with #equalrepresentation of all #citizens in mind? Maybe we'd have a little #revolution on hand. https://t.co/W8D38Xd6uw

[Steven Jacob @sdjacob30]

My #immigrant friend wants to fight the #injustice rampant in a divided #America by representing those without the means to represent themselves. His desire to #helpothers in a country of selfish bigots is #revolutionary. But one man can't change a nation. https://t.co/W8D38Xd6uw

[Steven Jacob @sdjacob30]

Imagine an #America that treated men, #women, #AfricanAmericans, #NativeAmericans, #AsianAmericans, #HispanicAmericans and every other color equally? It's possible, it just takes a little #revolution and maybe a new #constitutionalconvention. More in post.

[Steven Jacob @sdjacob30]

#America used to be a #Cityonthehill, but even the #ConstitutionalConvention failed to take into account #AfricanAmericans, #women, and the #Poor. Why don't we reconsider a flawed document in light of the vast #diversity now extant throughout the country?

https://t.co/W8D38Xd6uw

[Steven Jacob @sdjacob30]

What if we de-canonized the #American #Constitution and treated it like the proclamation of a handful of #racist #whitemen rather than the word of #god? Wouldn't we consider making a few changes? My new post calls for the generational #revolution we need.
