Here comes a thread of stories featured this week, with thanks to @JenniferDoggett & our busy/generous contributors

Standout quote from @KetanJ0
"Every problem is insurmountable before it is surmounted. Every change is slow before it is fast.
Every apocalypse is inevitable until it is cancelled. This one can be cancelled by the snowballing power of fairness, science & fury.”
