"But even as we pretend to live our lives more and more in the open, pasting and posting and pinning more and more bits of our private lives to the public notice board of social media, there are entire swaths of private existence we still hide, still keep deep and secret: domestic fury; our lust for money, and the disgraceful lengths we'll go to for it; and -- always -- our fear of the Other, be it black or brown, or just broken, like my boy."

Agree. Agree agree. https://hubski.com/pub?id=73264

Guess I'll go dig up a quote now.

I've always liked that poem by you.... I think if we have a completely accepting "friend", we don't need to hide as much. But where are we going to find that? Except here in our somewhat alternate identities.
