do NOT tell me it doesn't matter

I am an unhealthy person dependant on prescription drugs in a country that doesn't give a shit about healthcare. I am a person of colour in a country of people who support lynchings, metaphoric or otherwise. I am a queer person in a country run by the religious right. I am a woman in a country that wants to deny my right to birth control. I am a middle-class person in a country who gives increasingly less support to anyone who's not a millionaire. I am a person who will need social security in a country whose deficit is so huge that when it comes my turn, they will have probably gotten rid of the institution. I live in a metropolis, when the fate of the country is determined by the rural ignorant uneducated church-going populace. I attend a public university in a country that does nothing for education.

It matters. This is my life.
