Answering the question "Does being dark matter?" necessarily involves layers of interpretations and re-interpretations. It's the short-cuts that often get "us" in trouble, or those we love.

As someone who has moved from rural coastal Maine to three years of Peace Corps work in Ethiopia, to assisting with an overly ambitious inner-city Detroit geography project coordinated by Black high school students, to coordinating an overly ambitious anti-mortgage redlining campaign, I've got lots of experience to process. I may try a few more stories, but the stories are never the full story.
