“It was like an exercise in hope…. Loving her, I mean. Sometimes I’d think she’d come around. Sometimes I’d look her in the eyes and think that I was looking at a true friend. Then she’d say something, make some off-the-cuff comment, and the whole cycle would begin all over again. It was like pouring sand into a sieve. Nothing stuck.”

This is so many things full

One small thing is that this has what Blood Over Bright Haven lacked

But again, it was so full and so itself, it’s beyond comparison. So much even in the imagery of the tower of Babel that echoes backward and forward in time and through the Now

This moment rings

Small flickers of hope but truly mostly…that they went into it w/no planning - “we thot we’d be dead” - or supplies for even themselves let alone the few who stayed with them, no contacts, no support. Really this is on the older org members who brought them into nothing then left them with grief and intent alone against an empire. I can’t out my finger on my current emotion bc it supports but criticizes

Finally able to pick it up and open it again today
Despite them leaving the beginnings of the opium war and the monstrous officiousness of the English merchants in their wake.

Now a return and a new crisis but surprisingly less heartrending - one who’s heart is evil vs millions condemned for their people-ness

Loved this interaction but also makes me want to cry
I both feel better and bad again about teaching English here bc my students developed good skills, needed skills in many ways, but I hate what English has done and been used for and…how it could affect their selves

😂 they got off the boat at Jackass point 😂
Asking a HK friend if that’s still there but it’s so appropriate for the amount of ridiculously hypocritical colonizer language that’s getting tossed around. They’re ‘barbarous’; how dare they police what we bring in to sell (dr*gs, spec’ly opi*m). 🙄 we’ll knock them down to size these arrogant blah blah blah
This is before the opi*m w*rs of course

Frustrated for Robin. They literally ran away leaving him holding the bag FOR THEM when he wasn’t even involved and he got caught, and now they’re mad at him bc he didn’t tell them about the super secret org that he was supposed to tell no one of?!
