S3 E:28 Extra Episode. Brown University Shooting and the failure of our culture.

Send us a text

We came back from our planned break to speak about the Brown University shooting, the weight of living near it, and the everyday systems that fail to protect people. Healthcare costs, campus safety, and community care weave into a candid, grounded conversation.

• premium spikes, broken enrollment, and access gaps
• moral injury of vulnerability in a crisis
• what the videos miss and what students carry
• policing delays, dismissive responses, and data manipulation
• harm reduction versus root causes of violence
• campus safety tradeoffs and obvious fixes
• misinformation, victim‑blaming, and media noise
• practical community care after trauma
• small rituals, animals, and grounding for healing

We will be taking a break and will resume at the end of January
