Infrastructure is patient, infrastructure is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Infrastructure does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.

A reminder that every woman journalist, and especially women journalists of color, are harrassed all the time, in the year 2021. Sometimes with words from the 1800s.
WARNING: CRUDE LANGUAGE
Being hit on and harassed as a woman, especially as a woman reporter out in the field, happens so often you learn how to roll with it or ignore it. This time it happened to be recorded only seconds before my hit. There are A LOT of things wrong with this.
