trans youth in the city or something like that.
Like, I feel like that's, like, an actual way that I could get involved that would be, like, a positive, you know, I don't know, fight against all the shit that's happening right now because it just feels, like, so overwhelming all the time to be, like, everybody needs my donations.
I don't even have money myself.
Like, this is crazy.
Like, it's just, like, yeah, like, everybody needs money and everybody needs help all the time.
It's, like, where do I even start?
So I think, like, I'm just trying to be better about getting really involved in, like, my local communities and finding, like,
yeah, starting from the smallest place that I can actually make some tangible impact.
Yeah, no shit.
No, totally.
You know what I mean?
It's kind of like that.
I don't know if this is a real factor, if this is like an old wives tale, but, um, again, nobody check anything.
I have no facts today.
Everybody, everybody stop.
Um, but like that, that adage that like, you know, somebody who, if somebody is asking for money on the train or something like that, it's more likely that the person who like doesn't have a lot to give, we'll give them a dollar than like somebody who's like in a business suit is not going to give them any money.
And it really is that idea of like when you know what it feels like to be close to the bone, like you want to help more because you understand and empathize.
Whereas I think people that have these cushy lives, like they just โ they're like perfectly โ I mean they are systematically positioned in the middle to feel comfortable so that they are the buffer between the elite and the rest of the working class.
It's the whole point.
It's the whole point, yeah.
