Due to an unfortunate joke, my child thinks a Lady of the Night is a French cryptid.
When I was learning English, I thought people meant vampires.
My 93 year old great aunt just said the words “a lady of the night”. The party is officially on.

If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Remember your favorite creator possibly might be struggling with imposter syndrome and doubt and this timeline sucks.. so if you find yourself thinking “wow I really relate to this persons work” or that persons work gives you joy, you should probably tell them. It’s a hard time to be a creative.

Somehow there's a connection between this and the death of Google Reader. The danger in letting people find and access other people's creations was that there was money being made there but it wasn't being made by Google. They're sure taken care of that.
