My sociology professor had a really good metaphor for privilege today. She didn’t talk about race or gender or orientation or class, she talked about being left-handed.
A left-handed person walks into most classrooms and immediately is made aware of their left-handedness - they have to sit in a left-handed seat, which restricts their choices of where to sit. If there are not enough left-handed seats, they will have to sit in a right-handed seat and be continuously aware of their left-handedness. (There are other examples like left-handed scissors or baseball mitts as well.)
Meanwhile, right-handed people have much more choice about where to sit, and almost never have to think about their right-handedness.
Does this mean right-handed people are bad? No.
Does it mean that we should replace all right-handed desks with left-handed desks? No.
But could we maybe use different desk styles that can accommodate everyone and makes it so nobody has limited options or constant awareness that they are different? Yes.
Now think of this as a metaphor. For social class. For race. For ethnicity. For gender. For orientation. For anything else that sets us apart.

As a catering staff I’ve seen the whole food waste situation first hand and it is both absolutely disgusting and disgraceful. The worst part is that genuinely you can get fired for giving someone a free meal or providing extra food despite of the bin fulls of food that get thrown away on daily basis.

u ever wear fingerless gloves and hold a hot drink and immediately feel like a 1900s victorian urchin taking a break from pickpocketing to gratefully accept a meal from the soup kitchen

over-explaining everything because you’re scared of not making sense or people thinking you’re stupid

Platonic love is not a runner up to romantic love. Platonic love isn’t second place. Platonic love isn’t less real, less valid or less powerful than romantic love. Don’t let your platonic love take a back seat to romantic love.

So Beverly turns up to at Hannibal’s house with straight hair in a sensible ponytail and after he’s killed her, Hannibal gives her a really good curl and blow-dry before freezing and slicing her up like a hardboiled egg? Is there anything this man can’t do??
