Thank you to everyone who joined me at UCLA for a powerful evening of conversation around The Coroner’s Silence.⁠
⁠
This work asks us to sit with difficult truths: how death is documented, how state violence is remembered, and how silence can become part of the official record. I’m grateful for every person who showed up, listened, reflected, and helped make space for this dialogue. More conversations to come.⁠

Nick’s book “Homesick” comes out in a month! The book asks the question of how shelter became exposure in the US and what we can do about it. dukeupress.edu/homesick (discount code: E25SHPRO) I’m so grateful to Akasha Rabut for filling the book with incredible photos.
