can't highlight text from pseudo element

Hey, i have a heading class that displays a caption underneath it with the text being what's provided in a data attribute. It doesn't let me highlight this text with my cursor though, does anyone know why? Many thanks https://codepen.io/deerCabin/pen/mdYyLdr

pseudo elements cannot be selectable, since they are not actually part of the DOM. If you need text to be selectable, you should put text in something like <span> instead
