I pan handled from the end of 2017 to the middle of 2018 and here 10 of my notes
1. The Midwest has the most caring racists. The amount of sleeping bags and hot chocolate was surprising and heartwarming, the amount of racism was alarming.
2. People love to give you stuff in Las Vegas
3. Christians love to record themselves giving you a water bottle or a slice of pizza. This is a trap they are going to talk to you about god, and yes some (all) think you are homeless because you are a sinner
4. Most teenaged panhandlers look older than they are (dirty, stressed). Remember they're kids. Most aren't drug addicts. Most are abused for one thing or another. Most of the time it's for being queer.
5. Dont trust RV people ever
6. Dont sleep anywhere where you won't hear people coming and wake up. Trash, sticks, whatever makes noise when people rustle through it. Car camping is so much better.
7. Cops aren't people, they're some strange demon sent to fool you with riddles and drag you away. Treat them like the Fae
8. No one gives handouts in the Northeast
9. No one calls 911 if a homeless person is ODing in California
10. Humanity is so much more about love and connectedness than any of us can understand. Sometimes you have to take advantage of that to eat.
