#privileged

I’ve started sharing my Instagram stories directly to Facebook. I figured maybe people might want to see and maybe then they could come and follow me? I dunno🤷‍♀️

I get a message this morning from a guy I went to college with, in response to my taco pic from yesterday : “I wish I was born w privilege. Wish my family came close to understanding wealth. Lolz”.

Is it privilege to share a photo of food and describe its ingredients, producers tagged and playful gif superimposed? Is presenting food in a certain style a signifier of wealth? I mean— I guess it can be, but I hadn’t really thought about it much until now. It’s true that I pay attention to where the food on my table is coming from— not whether there will even be food on my table. And that IS privilege. 🥘

So, thanks, dude, for bringing that to my attention. BUT ALSO— you once creepily told me you had a “beautiful 🍆” you wanted to show me. So maybe I wish I was born with your cisgendered male privilege, ya know? I guess we all have our crosses to bear. 💁‍♀️
