must be vague (locked accounts WHEN) but it turns out that making an effort to go out into the world and connect with other people is really good actually. maybe it's the thing that sustains us, actually. make new friends, see old friends, and say let's play pretend together <333

Musicology Duck is the new milkshake duck: there's a duck everyone likes, and then the twist is, the bus the duck is on gets kidnapped
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Seeing other people's joy is helping me get through the bad shit so much. Seek it out, make your own. It's the only way we're going to get through this.
Don't fight just to fight. Fight so you can live and let other people live.

I'm gonna say this with all the kindness in my heart: you aren't going to survive if you don't let your life have room for other things.
This is not a short term fight where we can just go 24/7 and then it will be over. We've got YEARS ahead of us. Take a break. Hydrate. Go bake something. Breathe.

Best Texas-style brisket I've ever had: Golden Hour Barbecue, Alliance, NE. See Carhenge while you're there.
Here’s a topic outside the news.
What’s the most unlikely place you’ve ever had the best particular food or drink you’ve ever had?
Like, not the best steak at the world’s top steakhouse. Something weirder.
Best burger I’ve ever had? Fresno airport.
Best cup of coffee? Crater Lake Lodge.

Right. Mutual aid needs on the ground in Minneapolis:
Our kids are out of school. Many families are too afraid to leave their homes.
Who’s delivering groceries today? Any donations needed?

1) face the bottle AWAY from anyone living and anything breakable. the contents are under quite a bit of pressure and can severely harm
