Would these following accounts on Instagram be personal interest or work related? 🤔
Hint: Google about the Sackler family and the opioid crisis!
The link between them...
The names of these 3 photographers/artists are on that list to call for the removal the Sackler name from the walls of the Met: Nan, Wolfgang and Cindy...
And who is Patrick Radden Keefe?
Caitríona retweeted Patrick's article in 2020...
IMO it would be a strong and interesting subject for a movie.
Cait followed Sofia Coppola's account after these accounts mentioned above...
It's just a theory ... But who knows 🤷🏻♀️

i never loved the haunting of hill house flanagan adaptation. i am too precious about the source material and flanagan adapts things like he sees just an ingredients list and ignores the recipe. but having seen bly manor, midnight mass, and now fall of the house of usher, i can say with confidence that the dude rocks.

A federal appeals court cleared the way for the maker of OxyContin to settle thousands of legal claims tied to the opioid epidemic while shielding the wealthy owners of Purdue Pharma, the Sackler family, from future lawsuits.
Under the plan approved Tuesday by the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in New York, members of the wealthy Sackler family would give up ownership of Stamford, Connecticut-based Purdue, which would become a new company known as Knoa, with its profits being sent to a fund to prevent and treat addiction.
Family members would also contribute $5.5 billion to $6 billion in cash over time, or around half of what the court found to be their collective fortune, much of it held offshore. A chunk of that money — at least $750 million — is to go to individual victims of the opioid crisis and their survivors. Payments are expected to range from about $3,500 to $48,000.
Tuesday’s decision also protects members of the Sackler family from lawsuits over the toll of opioids, even though they did not file for bankruptcy.
The court’s ruling reversed a 2021 ruling that found bankruptcy court judges did not have the authority to approve a settlement that would offer bankruptcy protections for those who have not filed for bankruptcy.
Those protections are at the heart of the proposed deal that would end claims filed by thousands of state, local and Native American tribal governments and other entities. Sackler family members have been clear that without the protections, they won’t hold up their part of the deal.

i just finished watching dopesick, and i am so so heartbroken and aghast. the scene where the doctor asks to see billy again while in rehab and then tries to get pills from him made my mouth drop open. betsy’s family finding out about her death had me bawling. the actions of the sacklers and purdue pharma had me feeling like someone walked on my grace. not sure how much was real/embellished for the adaptation, but if even 1% of the purdue side of things was real, then fuck that company and that family and fuck the shitty regulations that allowed them to market such an addictive drug so easily. also fuck the way its made me wonder how much of the world around us is made up of shitty people willing to turn a blind eye for their own profit.

Any series that wants to stick it to the Sackler family is alright by me. Their insatiable greed and devastating inhumanity are a major inspiration for this show. May they all rot in hell. ☠️

Man John would have a lot to answer for if the saw series took place in modern times and Lawrence had to sit him down and explain the opioid epedemic to him.

only thing I’ll say about Hannah Gadsby here is that they’re maybe the most annoying example of the kind of person who goes “art by men? uhh YAWN can you name me any WOMEN artists???” who also themselves cannot name any women artists because they really just don’t like art that much
