In which Possum recounts his experiences as an offender in the system.
Possum Bones is autistic. He has identified as a dirty kid in the past, and he’s attended multiple rainbow gatherings. He has several years left to serve in the Washington Correctional system.
He has been making art since he could sit up. He communicates better in writing than speech. If you are interested in the experience of an autistic person doing prison time, check out his Prison Blog. If you are a fan of comic art, underground/outsider music, Lovecraft, Clarke Ashton Smith, Murakami, Cixui Liu, etc.
I have a friend who was affluent before he came to prison. He always says things like " You know we’ll never go to Japan now ? " ... And I'm never awake enough to tell him ... " Did you think anyone here other than you ever thought they'd go anywhere outside the continental united states ? Our buddy here didn't think he'd live to see the end of his 20s ... And you're saying ' We’ll never go to Japan now ' ... ? "
