Crucial thing you must do right now is strengthen and expand your community. Serve together. Try a new activity. See each other in person. Over on the other site I am continually struck by how the rabid intensity does not actually reflect community or connection. Only way we get through this.

I don't know locations in my real life!!! Don't make me know them for violet and xaden!!
expertise? you mean my years of yearning and nights of nothingness?
When I rewatched Gilmore Girls last year, I realized I have always been Lorelei. Now, rewatching Sex and the City, it's glaringly obvious that I'm Miranda.
Oh, 19 year old Alana. What I would tell you.
Reading Onyx Storm on minimal sleep! Not sure totally what's happening, but that means I'll get to reread it and it will feel like the first time!!
Parent hack: get a sister-in-law who fosters rabbits and then have your toddler watch them eat carrots. Now carrots are an approved food.
I don't want my appliances to be connected to the internet. I don't want them to have blinky lights or touch screen controls or be accessible by phone. All I want is for them to do the one thing they are supposed to do, and to beep less.
Hear that, manufacturers? Less beeping.
Huge news. A ton of Amazon’s ongoing momentum in the book space is solely about kindle/audible. An ethical, easy-to-use alternative is great.

People might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of, or because of, his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn't so restricted by the things tormenting him.

I don't mean to be all doom n gloom, but the number of recalls just keeps increasing (up 20% from 2020 to 2023). It's almost like government regulations and enforcement are needed to keep us alive? What a drag.
