we need small stories in order to think about large incomprehensible events like human catastrophes. isn't it crazy that the powerful differentiate between natural disasters and human disasters, because human disasters are in the realm of corporate capitalism, and therefore there is no remediation, no accountability, no help, no compensation. a train wreck is not a natural disaster, sorry folks, you lived by the tracks in the cheap real estate, now you must move or die. and anyone who lives where the developers with armies want you gone, it's not a natural disaster, it's just your small story.

i think i dreamed about mom. i don't remember.
