Adding my own brutalist chanukiyah to this thread!

I found out about Kissinger's death from an American Girl Doll meme account. What a time to be alive

I got to plant baby Joshua trees this weekend! Grateful to the team at Portal Ridge Preserve who organized this and are figuring out the best ways to help Joshua woodlands recover after fire
