Wow, Trish. This was brilliant! And also kind of terrifying. As a fellow “connector-of-the-dots”, I sometimes hate that we have this ability. Because once we see the pattern, we can’t un-see it, you know?
I'm so glad you liked it. I just published the next one. And I agree about the dot-connecting and not unseeing it - more and more though I am encouraged because others are joining in asking the questions.
Was leaving a comment and Substack glitched 🤬. Anyways wanted to say I love this piece, it’s so appropriately nuanced by the commonality between symptoms of dislocation are compelling. I haven’t figured out the entirety of the insight I want to share here, but there is a familiarity I recognize in elder generations of my family who were forced to confront leaving their country of origin (Grenada, which some did and others didn’t) due to threat of US imperialism
