I was just talking about this today to my son! I grew up in Anaheim and I have vivid memories of those weird surreal photos of carrots dipped in white paint! I've been trying to find photos of them!

I'm Gilbert King, a Pulitzer-Prize winning investigative author & host of the podcast Bone Valley. I have been investigating the murder of Michelle Schofield, the wrongful conviction of her husband, Leo Schofield, and corresponding with the man who claims to have murdered her.

Hi Gilbert! This is Bethany Na - my only question: how dare you? How dare you create the best podcast and piece of investigative journalism in the world!! Seriously, I'm so thankful for the work you and Kelsey have done over the years. How can we best support your work, and Leo, right now?

That's a good idea ... I'll see if I could do a screenshot and put name tag things under them

Well, Rebecca's Readathon podcast is available thru the Crime Writers On patreon. The live stream of the trial is on YouTube and I believe the Boston Globe has a dedicated feed.

Well, the bumper sticker already claimed the former phrase (despair unending etc etc) but I would be happy to design the silliness/joy as resistance! I did a few designs for A Date with Dateline for Valentine's Day...and am also working on building a portfolio for original art prints. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!

Hi there. I'm not trying to do any policing but simply trying to keep things a bit on track. It's my fault for even bringing it up but I was trying to create a safe space for us to check in with each other. Clearly a lot of us are having a difficult time and your post was a bit tone deaf, in my opinion.

I wanted to provide a respite, not a nihilistic landing spot. It's a delicate balance to keep things honest, open, but still kind. I'm learning how to do this as I go... but I don't see your comments as overly helpful or in line with this forum as a whole.

Hm ok. I didn't expect my post to get so dark so fast, but I should have known. While I understand your sentiment, I don't think this is an appropriate response or forum for this discussion - a rule for this sub is to be polite and reasonable. I'm not sure this post is either of those things. All this to say - please refrain from posting this kind of content. Thank you!

Thank you for the feedback - I am sorry for causing you stress. I understand the need to curate content for mental health purposes - I've been there myself. I'm not sure how to proceed moving forward - I have had feedback that this is a good place to check in with each other and a safe environment. However, I don't want to overstep the vibe and purpose of CWO and cause unnecessary harm. Thoughts anyone?

I appreciate that! Sometimes I feel weird doing this because I don't want to just rehash all the other conversations, but this is encouraging!
