EPISTEMICIDE: destruction of a knowledge system by killing, silencing, or devaluing it.

How have we seen it?
How do we stop it?
If we can’t, how do we disrupt?
If we can’t, how can we slow it?
If not that, how do we keep others safe?

I was going to give a horror writing prompt, but (according to the algorithm) there’s a toe video going around, or something.

I think you’ve had enough horror today.
Go drink some water, get some eye bleach.

Here. Have mine.

Here’s your #writing prompt towards social action. Take at least 3mins.
