An 8 year old told me my “I ❤️ NPR” shirt is “slay” today, so I think that’s a win all around

Today I saw an elderly man fall in a grocery store. He took a minute to get back on his feet and didn’t want anyone to make a fuss. He was worried he’d be fired from his job as a cart porter…concerned that he would be found out and lose his livelihood. I want to not live in a dystopian hellscape.
