There’s a reason they call it “doomscrolling” and not “joyscrolling.” The longer you’re here the madder you’ll get. Lean on your community. Video chat with friends and talk about the kids, work, or the show you’re enjoying. And then, make plans to *do* something together. Got ideas? Post ‘em below.

I just saw Winter Kept Us Warm at the local art house theatre in Winnipeg. I loved it. The music was just perfect.

I’ve been really enjoying the Madonna: Deep Cuts playlist on Apple Music. I would have included Jump, Joan of Arc, and remixes of a couple of the songs, but I really do love it. My favourite part is Thief of Hearts and Till Death Do Us Part, both of which include sound effects of glass shattering:
