If you're not, listen to this.
Get a guitar or some drums, or a trumpet. Pick up a brush, a pencil, some clay or a welder.
Just make shit. It doesn't have to be good (eventually it will be) just make music, art or write or whatever.
It's literally never been more important.

Long, fascinating, and uplifting thread. I'm really glad I saw this 🙂
Over on the Other Place I would occasionally put this thread together, most recently during lockdown, four years ago in fact, and I realised I'd not done it here. So, bear with, and feel free to mute as this is an epic (genuinely, I’m not sure we won’t reach hitherto non-invoked thread limits tbh).

I am about 5 km driving, maybe 3 km as the crow flies from the stadium and can hear way too much of that concert…I cannot imagine how loud and irritating it must be for those on the immediate neighbourhood. #yeg

Reminder to all AUPE GoA people. Today is the last day to vote on the mediator’s proposed contract.
Allegedly some managers are ‘helping’ by holding meetings to encourage you to vote in favour. Don’t listen to them, they have a vested interest. Get on line, read the materials &vote as you see fit.

I really hope people in the US start remembering the names, the faces and the history of their neighbours - document who has disappeared so there is a record of existence. Someday you will hopefully have an opportunity to bring an accounting and justice for each one.
