as i started getting deeper into black study, philosophy, existential writings, all that, readings that were helping me understand my own being, my own position in the world, i kept running into terms that sounded important before i really grasped what they meant.
Brilliant stuff. As a person of Eastern European Jewish heritage I feel like some of that forced erasure and severance happened to our relationship to our ancestors back in the old country -- not to conflate or co-opt your struggle but to notice where this resonates in my body with grief and empathy. I hope it's okay to share that, LMK if I am out of line. Anyway, my point is, that makes it all the more terrible how, in seeking to restore some kind of continuity, we ended up repeating our trauma via Zionist genocide.
