Excellent piece! I remember the day we met I told you how much I appreciate your ability to weave pop culture into zeitgeist into mental health into anthropology. This essay is a perfect example of your strengths as a writer and cultural observer 🫶🏽

oh YES such a good point- the wariness with which they treat Luke, the fear around talking to Steven, the kid gloves with which they treat Nell- it’s so perfect and such a good example of how to do generational trauma WELL
