After the noise…

What a strange week… A comment I left under a post on social media somehow got more attention from news outlets and commentators than I anticipated. My short comment had more leg to it than the few compressed characters of a social media post — I developed this in a longer essay (here the link). Still, with the backlash getting out of proportion, reading some of the comments and watching countless reels with all sorts of takes on it, I find myself reflecting further on the cultural significance of this episode, the conversation it brought to light — old and new — and my own position on the subject.
