We need community now more than ever. Take some time to research a local group you might benefit from participating in. Maybe it's a local charity, a sports group, or volunteering with your local Democrats. This might mean stepping out of your comfort zone, but that might be just what we all need.

Don't forget to support your local library! Now might be a great time to curl up with a book and decompress a bit.

There seems to be a coffee theme in my posts.

Honestly just looking through my phone for happy photos to distract me from the news. [Skaket Beach, Orleans, MA, 2024]

It’s 5:27am and I’m starting my day off with a piece of cake 🍰. If an oligarchy is going to kill me, at least I’ll have once last slice. 🎂

The cognitive dissonance of getting up every morning and making coffee and walking the dog and going to meetings and answering emails and wondering what to make for dinner while there is a real live actual coup d’etat happening is BONKERS

Gotta be honest, focusing on work is very difficult at the moment

Unsolicited writing advice, #17171617: Don't just write. Read books. Watch films. Look at paintings and sculpture. Play games. Go to plays. Listen to music. Think about how these things make you feel. Making art is a two-way stream. To make art, you have to consume art.

On the good news front, it’s a pretty winter day in New England.
