Jens and Rena are coming for lunch today, and Dr. Tuccillo is coming for dinner. So it's a Petersburg open house day, I love that. Anthony is the greatest husband, for many reasons the internet cannot contain ~ but chief among them is that he brings me giant cups of Earl Grey tea even though I'm actively working on a pot of coffee. Standing in New Sagaya is enough to help anyone fall in love with Anchorage.
I just read a few lines of this latest report out of Jena, but my reaction is so mixed. I have the usual horror at displays like these, typical of my essentially segregated childhood in a pristine part of the USA.
Part of me feels relieved, that we're forced to see the ugliness of racism, and how far we have not come. If you listen to the way people really talk, half-formed mean spirits inside them, or just the oblivion of privilege, it's evident that we remain very separate, separated.
My project will be finished by October 4. I am determined.
