[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find DC super hostile.
I'm an unpolished white person. 
Power-ragey white people look at me like I'm a piece of trash, and black people look at me like I am personally holding them down right now.

Now that I'm mommy/covid-tracked out of my dreams, I resent and regret this whole thing a lot more.  I was probably on the track to mommy track anyway, because this shitty world, and the unpolished thing. [/quote]

I can relate. Although black people seem to give me more of a pass. Or maybe they're just more polite... Which seems entirely possible.

The story I always tell is the time my child's HRCS had a fundraiser where they wanted the classes to compete against each other. Never mind that the younger classes had 30 kids and the upper grades had like, 12. Never mind that all the affluent families were in the lower grades. I remember the time a six-year old, beaming mom in tow told me my child's classroom was "losing" because they'd only fundraised $50 to his classes' $4,000. I said many things then, as I watched the smile slowly fade from his mother's face, and I do not regret them. [/quote]
