Citizens – I wish to make a brief public service announcement.
The alter-ego of TFD (aka Jonathan Hirshon) has written a very important post on TechCrunch, a leading tech news site, about depression and suicide in Silicon Valley.
Please share the link if you find it worthy – depression can lead to tragic consequences if it’s not managed.
#stepintothelight – read the article and you’ll understand.
Thank you for your attention and we will now resume our normally scheduled recipe postings.
Battle on – The Generalissimo
