It’s actually crazy how you grow up thinking home-cooked meals every day are just normal, then get older and realise how much time and effort it took your Mom to make that happen and how lucky you were to have that.
One of the most underrated luxuries is having an emergency and being able to deal with it without borrowing money, begging someone or sacrificing your basic needs. Being your own safety net changes everything.
I hate the “WFH is depressing” talk. What’s actually depressing is 2 unpaid hours of commuting every day, getting home already exhausted, and having 4 hours left for cooking, sleeping, and getting ready to do it all again.
Seeing people argue against a 32 hour work week is insane. Y’all need hobbies, friends, sunlight, literally anything outside of work. Life is not supposed to be just work until you die. We really will never revolt because some of y’all are way too brainwashed.
i looked into brian steel bc him succeeding in durk & thug’s cases isn’t even the half of it. in 1992 he was assigned an “unwinnable” attempted-murder case involving an illiterate man named greg shephard. steel couldn’t get him to talk so he slept in jail w him until he opened up
then he investigated the witnesses, found evidence shephard wasn’t the shooter & got him home. they made a deal: if steel got him out, shephard would learn to read. years later he got a job at the atlanta journal-constitution & came to steel’s office every thursday to read to him
