This one was tough, so I needed two days to write it. We're entering a period of remembrance for October 7, and yet it's been impossible to do the work of memorial properly, because many false stories about what happened to victims were used to fortify the world in its leap to an ongoing nightmare of war.

The dead deserved better, and still do. So too do the living, who suffer today because we have not learned how to grieve responsibly.

Will we ever?
