since I'm apparently in a solidly neurodivergent brain space today I thought I would share a #neurospicy cleaning tip. I hate cleaning the shower because I hate getting my clothes wet. to solve this, I keep a squeegee, a scrub daddy, and a bottle of dawn dish detergent in the shower.

It takes a lot of people doing small, good things to fight back against a few people doing big, evil things.
There are a lot of us. Do your small good things. That is our role, that is our hero moment, that is our calling, do not give up because you think what you do is too small, KEEP GOING.

I've seen some posts suggesting day drinking to deal with today's news, and I want to offer some suggestions for how to get through today if you don't want to drink, or use drugs. I'm going to suggest these things as someone who hasn't drank or taken drugs in over 9 years. I hope they help.
