"Assume everyone I interact with online is struggling with their mental health" has only become a more important guiding principle in the past couple years
My personal guidelines for dealing with people on social media:
Assume everyone is a friend you haven't yet gotten to know.
Assume everyone is struggling with their mental health
Don't promise any emotional labor you might not be able to provide
If someone seems like a hater, disengage right away

Confession: I've been calling goblet squats "goblin squats" for months now. I honestly thought that's what they were called. Because you look like a goblin exercising.
I'm still going to call them goblin squats because it's more fun.

Remember those silly Facebook events that were "Scream at the Bean" and stuff like that? Maybe we should try to make that an actual thing again. We all could use a communal screaming session now.

There was a giant inflatable ball at the rally in downtown Chicago. I hope it returns to a future rally because every rally needs a giant beach ball.

If you want to visit Chicago and see the sites, just join a protest march to see landmarks and experience Chicago and its people. At the very least you'll get to see the Picasso if the rally is at Daley Plaza.

There’s a crucial election coming up in a battleground state: The liberal majority on the Wisconsin Supreme Court is at risk. Elon Musk is not only determined to infiltrate every level of the federal government, he’s coming after our local elections, too. We’re not going to let him get away with it.
Elon Musk is trying to buy the Wisconsin Supreme Court
“His attack on democracy isn’t limited to gutting the federal government. He wants it all.”

I'm now convinced a lot of people are truly dodo birds because they're currently acting as dumb as one.

Today's glimmer: I had a CT scan at a dental consultation today and the equipment made fun whirring space sounds as it spun around my head.
