Hey there internet friends.
So in corporate comms training, the very first thing they tell brands and companies to do is shut down your scheduled social media posts when there’s a tragedy.
There were tragedies this week, a whole bunch, and you know what? They’re out of the scope of this newsletter. I could give you a whole righteous SHIT IS FUCKED UP IN THE USA screed but it wouldn’t change a whole damn thing. All you need to do is turn on the news or Twitter or Facebook or whatever your preferred ingestion-of-dystopian-content medium is, and you’ll get plenty of it.
TLDR: I don’t know what to say and posting a bunch of links to places to donate money would be a load of performative crap. We live in a country with easy access to a whole ton of weapons that are overkill for going hunting or protecting a home and where there’s no meaningful mental health infrastructure for a whole lot of people who deeply need it.
Rant over. Now on to the links.
