so where are the other people on Tumblr who are thinking about child welfare?
few and far between it seems.
a search for “DCFS” brought up a lot of links to “DCF” posts ( not related at all)
a search for “child welfare” brought up posts from around the country, mostly reposting updates on legislative changes
a search for ” north lawndale” brought up my posts. and some random other stuff.
and last night, at an improv show, when we were asked to throw out suggestions for themes, i was tempted to yell out things like “group home” and “social worker” but didn’t, because my mom was there, and I didn’t want to make her feel bad.
its funny how much this means to me, and how little it means to the rest of the world, proportionately.
