If Everything Goes To Hell Because Some Archaeologist Opened A Lead-Lined Coffin, I Am Going To Have WORDS.
Friends! I write to you from Chicago, where this week will consist of meetings and going down rabbit holes of how they dye the damned river such a mutant form of green.
Um, last week ended on a bang, with the second largest bank failure in U.S. history. There’s so much to say and so much that has already been said, about everything that happened to Silicon Valley bank and the forces that have put our banking system on precarious footing. But in addition to the pieces above, I will point us to this one from Salon, shared by Friend of the Missive Katelyn, that puts in words a lot of the general anger and frustration I’ve had watching the bank that so many of my former employers paid me through go belly up: ‘The Incredible Tantrum Venture Capitalists Threw Over Silicon Valley Bank’ (Salon). So, yea, if you read one piece today, let it be the one above, because it’s a long read. And then read it again.
TO THE INTERWEBS
Allllllllll the stuff I linked to above. Read that.

The first two grafs of this… Wow: An Ivermectin Influencer Died. Now His Followers Are Worried About Their Own ‘Severe’ Symptoms. (VICE)
And finally, there’s no way this ends in a face melting and/or madcap adventure with a Brendan Fraser-type, nope, no way: Skeletal remains of Roman aristocrat discovered in hidden lead coffin (CNN). But seriously, Y’ALL. LEAVE THE LEAD-COFFINED DEAD BODY ALONE. Nothing good can come from that.
You’re all swell. Drink some water, get outside, be kind to each other, won’t you?
