Yes, this. Exactly as you said!
For marginalized communities especially, it's been devastating and grief-filled. And Grief isn't something that goes away over time. (The box we hold it in grows larger over time, but the grief ball stays the same. That loss is real).
Communities have been shredded. Yes, some of us are trying to rebuild here, but others are scrambling just as Lovelace described. There isn't an easy answer on how to rebuild.
