Sooo you had a kid. Partly because you knew your people would take care of it. A kid that i looked up that the mom helped raise until she escaped jail. A mom that she ran away from and didnt want to go back to the multiple times that she was almost raped. I am not saying her mom was a horrible person. Of course the mom probably changed and grew. But it just doesnt add up for me

- Lowercasing the pronoun "i" is meant to symbolize that she views herself as no more important than any other individual
- Not capitalizing the U.S. or the names of judges and institutions—while keeping the names of her friends capitalized—is an intentional act against a system
- Substituting letters (like the "k" in "amerika") was common to visually link the United States to authoritarianism or fascism.
