It is possible to grieve and recognise someone's contribution, AND at the same time acknowledging their legacy as a whole, while holding space for the grief of those who have suffered

3. Expecting victims of abuse to necessarily exhibit love/reverence/forgiveness for a person/institution symbolising centuries of brutal oppression and human rights violations- is damaging for people who are yet to heal from the wounds of intergenerational trauma.

My condolences to the South Asian, Arab, African, Persian and Caribbean folk getting gaslit by doting coverage of the last grand symbol of the colonizing British Empire. More than 2.5 billion of us are still recovering.

75 years after independence, some Indians are still forced to clean human excreta for a living. A comic thread on manual scavenging in India, for @Article14live.
