I write a blog that focuses on public information, public health, and policy: https://pimento-mori.ghost.io/
It’s an image within an image of a man taking an image of the police officer setting up a police surveillance camera by his hospital bed after putting him there. Kinda meta

It definitely doesn’t, but at the same time experiencing hardships doesn’t automatically make you have empathy. Look at our vice president. Look at the billionaire that got him elected.
Empathy is what this letter is all about. I want someone who knows how it feels. And, instead of rising to the top to enjoy the view or talk about bootstraps, they become the arm that reaches back and pulls others up with them.
Scientists of tomorrow: Colloidal silver cures all disease unless you are possessed by demons or a witch.
If witch, please turn your self into authorities for immediate incineration.
If demons, please report to your nearest wellness camp for rehabilitation.
