there were many things i wish he’d done differently, but there were many things he did right, and so many people get legitimately angry when i try to talk about it. people have even accused me of “trying to make excuses for shitty men” for just talking about the fact that not all fathers are emotionless assholes who never see their families. it really solidified in my mind that some people don’t want things to change. they just want to stay angry with the way they are currently because anger is cathartic and much less effort than actual systemic change.

People starved to death lying next to productive fields.
