Alright… I’m closing the mic for now.
Wherever you land after this, take some of the music with you — let it soften what needs softening, let it remind you some things are allowed to stay unfinished.
Take care out there. Be decent where you can.
I’ll be back.
Until then, keep the signal human.

Finished up this delightful book nook build that spouse got me for Xmas. It was soothing blend of Lego building and puzzle making that I found extremely satisfying, promoting extreme focus and deep work that magically settled anxiety. Now I understand the "old people working on puzzles" stereotype.

What can men do to help women feel safer walking at night? 🌙
As a man, I recognise it’s a privilege to walk or run after dark without constantly thinking about safety. For many women, that isn’t the case.
