I spent my afternoon reading this WW II piece that @beijingpalmer.bsky.social recommended. It's a clarifying tonic for a lot of what is said about the war and the bombings. Moved me to tears, at times. It's a very long essay not everyone may have time for, so I thought I would post some excerpts. 🧵
