I’m serious about many things. My presence on social media is not among them.

In the US, hospitals are confident enough to print ‘39.95’ on the bill for holding your newborn

They are so sure about their system they don't mind explicitly spelling out that they charge $40 for literally handing over the baby and waiting for a few minutes

Because they don't even consider that absurd anymore

I got news for you.. it’s ABSURD!

We all have different things that touch us. For some, it's stories on the printed page. For others, songs or spoken narratives. For yet others, photographs.

You may not know that the US government hired Dorothea Lange to photograph the "relocation effort."

She clearly saw the injustice and human tragedy that was unfolding, and documented it unflinchingly.

Her work was censored, and only in 2006 made broadly available.

Take a moment and see what she saw.
