  • Are you an American? Start planning how to get out of there.

    This isn't a realistic option for most people. On an individual basis, it's expensive and difficult if not nearly impossible for many people. On a macro level, there is simply nowhere so many of us can go.

  • This is really it, my entire worldview was shaken and is adrift. There was other non-COVID stuff around that time for me that intensified it, too. I look at that person from 2019 and feel like she is a stranger.

  • Even though leaded gasoline and leaded paint have been outlawed for decades in the US, it's still a big problem in poor communities. Lots of old houses still have lead paint. Lead abatement is expensive and many people may not even know it's something you need to do.

    Microplastics will be the "boomers all have lead poisoning" of millennials

  • Have your asked your dad? What does he say? Did you tell him that you think it would be harder for you and ask what his opinion is?

    Not saying you have to, just curious if you did how it went. I'm in a similar boat.

  • This doesn't answer your question, but I'm curious. You say your writing is good but your reading is bad. In my experience reading and writing are so intrinsically linked, and reading is the easier of the two. If it's possible can you explain the difference for you? I just find it really interesting!

  • I'm glad you pointed out that this is in reference to old literature. Whenever I see a white person singing to a song and they say it "because it's just part of the song," hard cringe. Just didn't say it. Skip the word. It's easy.

    A good example I can think of is that young white man at the DNC singing along with Not Like Us who was so joyous and animated and went viral. When it came to the n-word, he just skipped it. Just fist pumping and keeping the energy, and closing his mouth for one word. A lot of people noticed and were grateful that he was respectful in this way.
