Three of Anthony’s painting. One is two cowboys with their back to the viewer, facing the desert. The next paining is a man dancing in a long skirt. The last painting is too men dancing together, holding each other

When my world is feeling heavy or I’m feeling on the verge of overwhelm, my go to is to put something good out in the world. Hoping I can brighten someone else’s day in return brightens mine. Closest thing I can provide to a hug via the internet.

There’s a lot to be upset about, and I don’t advise putting your head in the sand, but it is really bad for your brain to be mad all the time on a purely physiological level.

If you possibly can, take time to put down the mad.

It will help you think more clearly and remember why you’re doing this.

Trump is upfront in saying he will use the shutdown to punish Democrats, and here are the receipts. About $27.2 billion cut from Dem districts compared to about $0.7 billion in GOP districts.
We all complain about the media, but need this type of in-depth journalism.

i really don’t like how slack applies a greyscale filter to departed users, like as if they died because they went to work somewhere else.

we found that most protein powders and shakes have more lead in one serving than our experts say is safe to have in a day (🧵)
