Another beautiful essay from @Nikwalkotter and @MattCBatt 's "How Are We" series. This one is from @ToddKaneko and deals with COVID and COVID-related racism + racism in terms of our burning world today.
A beautiful read by an amazing writer and person.

Thanks @Nikwalkotter & @MattCBatt for better connecting us and for including me in the HOW WE ARE project. And for letting me air my grievances with @molinahealth, the deadbeat dad of health insurance.
