I’ve lived in a big city for years now. Never seen anybody get mugged, or shot, or carjacked, despite doing activist work that often has me visiting poor minority neighborhoods.

The only time I ever really felt uneasy was when I had to walk alone at night through a neighborhood where all the businesses had bars on the windows. Worst thing that happened was a couple of people asking me for money, and they didn’t give me any shit when I said I didn’t carry cash.

But any time I visit the small town where I grew up there’s always someone or another acting like I came back from a fucking warzone lmao

      Thank you 💜

      This is the little reminder I need - I’ll remember our discussion in DMs we had about this and I will have a good chance of remembering I’m supposed to ping someone when I write my next effortpost but the chances of me finding your username in my notifications months down the track would be slim and I don’t have a place to record this info elsewhere - my ADHD brain will write the info down and then immediately forget about it 😅 but now I know exactly where to look and it’s not possible for me to misplace your comment since it’s right there.
