uh oh, I’ve found myself in a predicament: I’m walking around in public but I need to stand still and look at my phone. If only there were a good place for me to do that. Ah, the middle of a staircase — perfect!
As a student of History and observer of people, a lot of you seem to only view violence in the physical form. That way of thinking is dangerous. It allows you to forget poverty is violence. That denying you healthcare is violence. That polluting your water and air is violence.
