It seems that indifference to the Holocaust, climate change, and covid is all the same lack of humanity. Thank you for giving us the tools to recognize the importance of society slipping away from what is good and how that happens.

E. M. Forster implored his readers, "Only connect . . . the thought and the feeling. . . ." He might have said, the policy and the pain. Thank you for Thinking About and all the connections you are making that help us imagine and yearn for a better future. Our Malady is another link in this chain.
