I'd like to send love to all those for whom, like me, Kissinger's death isn't about the dead but about the broken survivors. A reminder of the aftermath of domestic violence, mental illness, parental neglect and cultural dislocations.

Not mere ripples in time but fractures and wounds that bleed down.

To the people with lifelong grief of surviving broken parents and grandparents, the ones with survivors guilt, the ones who've had to build their cultural identity from scratch. You are part of that legacy too, not abstract numbers from the past but survivors of real far-reaching damage.

Take care. 💙

It's compulsive #This goes out to mr Wu who screamed at his hallucinations but liked it when we said hello #This goes out to Lisa 23 upstairs born angry and desperate to please who's BPD Vietnamese dad ran out and causes as much worry as pain.#Her mum and society gaslight her into thinking it's a post racial world when those monolids get her treated as an object.#Here's to the kids and grandkids of veterans and victims who were abusive. Trying to heal and be better.#Here's to everyone who lived in the holy shadow of a lost one and were never enough.#Tw: war
