A few days ago I put safety pins on all my coats. Not really sure why. I assumed nobody would notice. That in a very small, tiny way I was making a statement. About inclusion. That if somebody was giving you shit I got your back. This has extra meaning for me because as I kid I was bullied and mocked 24/7. I don’t so much like people being mean to each other.
So I am in the grocery store a few minutes ago. I look up and this dude slaps his chest twice. He then points to a safety pin. Gives me a thumb up. I tap my pin and give him a thumbs up right back. At times I can get depressed. I mean we as a nation voted for Trump. But there is some good in this world.
