You gotta romanticize your errands. Wake up early, put on some make up, grab a little energy drink or iced coffee, blast some tunes with some big shades on.

Two recommended feeds for de-stressing:

Gardening
Flower Report

Seeing flowers calms me and lowers my BP in the same way that kittens do for many!

I love this so much!

At the inauguration, Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wore a distinctive collar adorned with cowrie shells, which are believed to offer protection from evil in African traditions.

This choice mirrors the late Justice Ginsburg’s practice of using collars to convey a message.

I know this sounds weak, I know it.

But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other.

We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.

God, I can't describe how passionately I dream about working at an old-school rock music radio station and writing about whales and Antarctic exploration without having a single thought about war and global politics.

These are very good suggestions, but a few key ones are missing: attend library board mtgs and speak in favor (many are on zoom), donate $, and vote for measures and bonds to increase funding. Patrons have real power. Don't let a handful of bigots destroy your library.
One thing before tomorrow:

Use your local libraries.

Get your card.

Borrow books, manga, films, audios, ebooks.

Recommend titles for purchase (usually online).

Attend promoted activities.

Fill out those "How are we doing?" questionnaires.

Tell your kids that libraries are good.

They are.

i'm rewatching Avatar: the Last Airbender, because i really need to spend some time thinking about fighting an impossibly powerful enemy, through community

Folks, you don’t need to watch the inauguration. Let’s watch movies instead.

Forget Fakey McGee’s indoor pool party inauguration on Monday…I’m going to binge watch Severance because it is serving apocalyptic fall of man shit and that just feels more honest.

Out of DC for the weekend - can't think of any place I'd want to be less during the inauguration.

The stories will come fast after Monday.

Enjoy the weekend everyone. Take those breaths of fresh air and enjoy those around you. Recharge as much as you can.

We'll all be in this together afterwards.
