1. Tomorrow's my birthday and here's a gift you can get for me: Buy a small creator's work. Local band, indie writer, up-and-coming visual artist, that crafter down the street, or whomever. Your support matters to them, especially in this economic/social environment. And you deserve some joy, too.

At the heart of every attack on disability benefits is the myth disabled people “get perks”: a free car, loads of cash, a life off work. It misrepresents the reality of disability, whilst exploiting low wages and high living costs to make the public envy people in daily pain.

On his own social media platform, and without providing any evidence to back up his claims, Elon Musk indicates the skies over America are deeply dangerous for air travelers. And, of course, that his company - quite by chance, you understand - will be filling the breach.
