there’s something distasteful in the way people describe the poor as having only their economic plight guide their values. it feels almost condescending, as though they can’t walk and chew gum and think that disrespecting an historic office is bad.

and that experience alone is so jarring. nothing crazy had to happen to me for me to remember it so vividly. unfortunately that was in Pittsburgh, and 3ish years later Tree of Life happened. I was the only one not shocked I guess!
