  "account": "I awaken to the chirping of sparrows at 6am, rush to shower and get dressed at breakneck speed, scan a few emails, gulp a quick espresso, and by 7:15am, I'm prepared to drive my son René off to kindergarten. As I start the car, I hear him sigh from his booster seat, questioning the purpose of our day. Earlier, we had spoken about death, and I struggled to explain why his grandfather (my father) is no longer with us and where he might be now. At the ISCP in Brooklyn, our event for Hyperallergic members is met with drinks and fortune cookies, none of which satisfy me. After four cookies, I choose the one that says: \"Who gives should never remember. Who receives must never forget.\" Amidst the rain, I seek refuge in a Gen Z hotspot in Bushwick, watching a full Michael Jackson album. A man on a laptop screen explains how Islam abolished slavery in the Arabian Peninsula centuries ago. Later, the Milwaukee Art Museum returns two jars to the descendants of Dave the Potter, an enslaved Black American artist who worked in the 19th century. On my way to a screening of Edward Said's documentary, \"Between Worlds\" at the New York Film Festival, a man on the subway wearing a T-shirt covered in religious symbols angers me. During the movie, I cry endlessly, finding a Carl Jung book on the street but discarding it. A man in a leather jacket over a bunny costume stares at me as if I'm the odd one out. A sparrow feasts on my trash, and on Berry Street, I pause in front of a new Hermès store adorned with my initial in the window display. Lost in images, I see Jerusalem, Haifa, and Nazareth, New York, and finally, René's face.",
