Oh, my goodness, this: "There is no view from nowhere, and learning about another person’s somewhere will save our lives." hit me. Hard. Learning about another person's somewhere - what a beautiful way of reminding us that we never, ever know what someone else's life is like, what their reality is, what thoughts and beliefs flit through their minds. Thank you for this - and for writing.

"It’s important to remember that the people we assume are objective are, in fact, just the people who traditionally have had influence." This keeps haunting me. Thank you. And I can't wait to read Unfit Parent!

Thank you, Aunt Donna! Khalil is out of frame in that photo, and I think we were probably talking about some bird :)
