ancestry.com.
The comprehensive digitized records – birth, marriage, death, census, immigration - compressed time into a searchable syntax, a kind of cosmic phonebook second only to the scrolls of heaven.
Morgan, Parker "meanwhile, black Americans don't, and will never know our real names; commercials for ancestry.com feel like a personal attack."

Nostalgia for lost futures.
A state of grief, in relationship to history, where what is lost & what could’ve been are temporary entangled, the past ever present, & refusing to be forgotten. It is the post colonial condition of forgetting & being forgotten in the aftermath of violence, longing for a homeland That will no longer exist. What was and what could have been haunting the present.
