Much like his meditation on Being Poor, John Scalzi’s Things I Don’t Have To Think About Today, is a particularly moving treatise on the essence of privilege:
Today I don’t have to think about those who hear “terrorist” when I speak my faith.
Today I don’t have to think about men who don’t believe no means no.
Today I don’t have to think about how the world is made for people who move differently than I do.
Today I don’t have to think about whether I’m married, depending on what state I’m in.
Today I don’t have to think about how I’m going to hail a cab past midnight.
I highly suggest you click through and read to the end.
