Once, in the span of a single conversation, a friend nearly two decades older than I am and I realized we were both running out of time. I clearly was not going to have my life “figured out” by age 25 or 30 or whatever the appropriate marker is. While she was grappling with the sensation, spurned by a society that values youth as if it’s a moral high ground, that her work had less value the older she got. In both directions, our mutual realization highlighted a line of thought embedded in society: the best parts of our lives, selves, bodies, careers, and identities should be squished into a single decade, the narrow window between age 20 and 30 when we’re neither “too young” to understand or “too old” to be relevant. This fixation on “being young” aka in your twenties places timestamps on our worthiness that seem to decrease as the number of birthday candles on our cakes increase.

About 9.5 million COVID-19 vaccines have been administered in the state of Illinois and a little over 4 million individuals are fully vaccinated, according to the Illinois Department of Public Health. But the numbers show a huge discrepancy between whites and Blacks.
About 65 percent of Illinoisans who are fully vaccinated are white. That tracks pretty closely with their share of the state’s overall population. Blacks, on the other hand, make up close to 15 percent of the state’s residents, but account for less than nine percent of those who are fully vaccinated. That’s about half of what you’d expect, just based on demographics. Some say that s because many Blacks are reluctant to get the shots.
