Sometimes I’m overwhelmed by the number of cool people who are doing cool stuff and sharing it online — visual artists, writers, comedians, musicians. I’m grateful to them all for putting goodness out into the world even when times are tough.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but you don’t have to:
• “update your wardrobe” every season
• add accessories to “style” your outfits
• change your style to avoid looking “like a millennial”
These rules exist to sell you things you don’t need. If you like your clothes, wear them.

So weird that only one political party is expending this much time, energy, money and political captital to prevent as many people from voting as they possibly can - and ignore or nullify those votes if they feel like it. One would think this imbalance would dominate headlines. 🤷♀️
Three years ago, so much of the DC press tried to pretend that Glenn Youngkin was different from other Republicans, but he is exactly the same. And just the same, he does not believe in free and fair elections.

When we return from a trip, it’s interesting to see what the petsitter has been watching on our streaming services. Our last sitter favored true crime shows; the new one watched Harry Potter movies.

At least three earthquakes have happened near Boston while I’ve lived here, and I’ve never felt one until today. It’s creepy, but TBH I’m glad I know what everyone is talking about this time. 🙃
