Full grown adults that can’t swim, cycle, skate, backpack, take a gap year, vacation, play an instrument or speak multiple foreign languages. Just a lifetime of hustling and trying to leave survival mode. These are subtle poverty metrics that no one really talks about

Our former landlord once told us because we were home so much over Covid we were opening and closing the kitchen cupboards a lot more, like beyond usual wear and tear on the apartment.
They literally got it written in their constitution that slavery is illegal.. UNLESS 😏😏 in punishment of a crime 😏😏😏😏 and yall think the mass incarceration of Black Americans is just a coincidence and isn’t just modern day slavery
I don’t want to "download the app" to pay for parking. I don’t want to "create an account" to see a menu. I don’t want to "provide feedback" on a 30-second interaction. I just want to exist in the physical world without a digital leash.
