Morning CoSo. 🕯️

As promised, today I have a piece that explores the history of political kidnappings, in war and for profit, with an eye to pushing back on armchair analysts.

As "easy" as these exchanges might look at a distance, there is a lot of pain and fraught history behind negotiating ceasefires and prisoner/hostage swaps.

There also isn't a great success rate.

This weekend, may we all be thankful for our safety, & grieve for those still waiting for their own.

Thank you for sitting with it, Stuey.

There's so much grief-work to do in these hard times, that it really is best not to go at it alone. ❤️
