It's as if my efforts have been in vain, and I should just quit.” IfsThinkingShouldTryingPersonsHas BeensStillsKidsUsedStuffEffortCreaturesDeserveAccountsQuittingVain Author:Chris Ware

“You'll hear people say it's racist to test. Folks, it's racist not to test. Because guess who gets shuffled through the system oftentimes?
