TFW you live in the nation’s most diverse zip code and there’s only one COVID-19 testing site and you get there 30 minutes early and there’s already a line around the block and it blocks access to a food bank and you run out of gas while idling for 90 minutes, so you have to

leave without getting tested since they were likely to hit their 100-test cap well before you got to the front, and you’re both mad at your city government for consistently under resourcing your neighborhood and also very mad at yourself for being part of the

problem of gentrification here since every white person in that line, yourself included, is blocking access for those whom this site was intended to serve, and your idling is also contributing to the environmental issues that

disproportionately impact communities of color, which are far less likely to have sufficient infrastructure for walking and cycling safely, as represented here (meanwhile in the ultra wealthy waterfront neighborhood just adjacent, the city shuts down an entire boulevard so that

wealthy cyclists on their $10k bikes can recreate unbothered), as well as not having anywhere near the same level of access to public transportation, and you recognize that you are every much as part of the problem as the $50k BMW SUV in front of you, and while you wish you

could say you got out of the line on principle, you only did it because you ran out of gas, and you recognize that most of the other people waiting were also white folks and that this whole system is f***ed.
