I've written a couple of posts that I meant to put up this week. Then Baton Rouge happened, Falcon Heights happened, and Dallas happened, and frankly nothing I have to say or share seems of any significance, nor feels appropriate given the nightmare unfolding back in my home country.
I hope you are following the news not to gawk at personal tragedies, but to learn more about the world we have built, and to learn how we might be able to change it.
If you have not seen it, Ijeoma Oluo's list of things to do is worth your attention:
Campaign Zero has been targeting these issues for some time, though I only learned about them in the wake of this week; consider using their site as a resource, a tool, a challenge.
I'm sure at some point I'll get back to posting and catch up on this trip. It continues to be worthwhile - and certainly my conversations about the politics of the USA have become more significant, if much harder - but not today, not this week.
