I also meet a lot of active, happy, engaged seniors. I love asking them what their secret is, and it's always two things:
1: Stay moving. At a certain you either stretch or walk daily or you can't move. Start NOW.
2: Sometimes to care about. Garden. Grandkids. Pets. Doesn't matter.

Thank you. We need art right now. Please make games and movies and shows and paintings and poems and minis. It's powerful. We need it.

Spotify has laid off thousands in recent years, while reportedly paying artists $0.003 per stream.
Spotify profits rose 28% in Q3. Its CEO is worth $9.8 billion. It's making money off ICE recruitment ads.
Don't you think it's time put a wrap on corporate greed and exploitation?

It was an early, short substorm, but it was a good one. Literal space weather!

Buy a book.
Any book, it doesn't matter which. The one you've been looking forward to, the one with the title that made you laugh, the weighty award-winner you've been meaning to get to. Whatever.
Treat yourself. Step away from it all. In this time of gross ignorance & madness, read something.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.
Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

The North Atlantic right whale population saw no mortalities, four new mothers, and eleven calves this year--a sign of recovery for an endangered species previously decimated by whaling. Recent efforts have also made progress on reducing modern threats like boat collisions and entanglement #goodnews

The brightest potential can only unfold in the absence of self-critical, self-threatening thoughts.
Self-scaremongering, self-shaming, or self-bullying are mental tools that only disturb your best version.
So stop. Be compassionate. Let the being be.
