Edit: I realised while speaking to my 21 year old cousin that Oswald might not be as popular amongst the Gen-Z as it is for us millennials in our 30s/40s.

"One of the first things we discover in these groups is that personal problems are political problems. There are no personal solutions at this time. There is only collective action for a collective solution". — Carol Hanisch, The Personal Is Political (1969) Love, for me, has been glorious and terrifying in excess.
