Or better yet…does it really matter which one it is? NO, because there is absolutely nothing wrong with it!

today i feel fine.
weather was nice.
one kid at work was actually thankful and happy that i told him he was doing well this week (as opposed to swearing non-stop and blowing up over stupid shit for no reason), and he said that knowing staff are actually proud of him makes him want to actually go through the program and do well.

“I don’t see color.” - I don’t give a fuck about realizing my white privilege or the challenges you face because you are not white. I am saying this in a deceptive way to make it sound like I’m not racist, but in fact, what eventually happens goes as follows.
