Pencil Rules

Ink is only semi-permanent.

Culture is a set of rules written in pencil.

Though it feels entirely unchangeable, it’s always changing.

And we change it, just by existing.

Whether or not ideological idiosyncrasies are codified into law or scribbled in a newspaper, cultural norms are not as permanent as they seem.
