  • I am american, moreso than most realistically. My family has been texan since before even texas was american. I am brown and have a Latin last name, there’s a ton of us the same here in texas. In my family the generation before me was the last that inherited spanish from the family and none are fluent (texmex spanglish at best), at least not without schooling.

    This is all to say that my drivers license is on me at all times outside of my house. I carry it everywhere, even on my smoke breaks at work, even when I’m washing my car, even when I’m checking my mail.

    I shouldn’t be living like this, I don’t deserve to live like this, my rights as an American citizen say I should be protected against this, but here we are.









  • Fuck you and this mindset, I’ve been building on this “model” for years and even in the best of times it’s a crapshoot. My life has been rocketing past me despite the years of skills and experience i have built. NO ONE should need a second job to survive and it is shit even as a bandaid. These jobs are not transitionary jobs for too many people who have children and dont get any healthcare, for too many that can Barely afford a decent life. These are real fucking jobs that deserve compensation.

    So once again fuck you for intimating that these people are unskilled or worth less for their work. Fuck you for trying to normalize the working class having to double their shifts to survive. As an educated and experienced person who has struggled, fuck you
