Summary: In this episode, we discuss our reactions to and analysis of the Yanez verdict (killer of Philando Castile), the Grenfell Tower fire, and a discussion on how to (not) be supportive to a partner or loved one with mental illness. Strength to all those impacted by the numerous people we have lost this week, and the people already gone for whom justice was not brought (legally or otherwise). It's been a heavy one.
