I do love a #MementoMori. ⚓️
Because of a talk I once gave, I have a fondness for Memento Mori. This is part of a medieval rosary set (currently at the Morgan Library in NYC)

Dammit.
I pray Dr. Williams will rest in peace, and his research will help others struggling with #depression and the risk of #suicide.

That would make for a very cool business card.

This research's finding? The secret to living longer, better, healthier in the USA is...money.

The worship of money in this country is, pretty literally, a death cult.

I just today learned about @notthevoiduk.bsky.social , a safe space to talk about #suicide, ideation, etc. Similar in some ways, I think, to Suicide Anonymous. Both offer community, which is simply vital. I'm grateful for people who create these supports.

Still true.
"The bread of the needy is the life of the poor;
whoever deprives them of it is a murderer.
To take away a neighbor’s living is to commit murder;
to deprive an employee of wages is to shed blood."
