I spent the last week in COVID isolation at home with my partner and once the annoying symptoms went away it was glorious.

Now that we all know how to survive lockdowns, it's a lot easier the second time around (grocery deliveries, online casual games with friends, etc)

Unfortunately 24 hour libraries, or even late night, are pretty much non-existent now because 1) parents use them as babysitters and 2) nothing against homeless people but librarians aren't equipped or staffed to take care of them appropriately.

And now with the book bans librarians are in short supply too, which means shorter hours and even fully closing on some weekdays.

Support your local library, everyone! See if there's a "friends of" group. It's a great way to connect with your community.

Good VPNs have adblockers.

Everyone on the Internet should have one now. Also a password generator.

I had two friends quit call centers within a month of joining because it immediately sent them into a depression.

I'm sorry for everything you have to deal with at work.

My hometown's newspaper just published an opinion piece about the disastrous effects, ecologically and financially, that lawn care causes. Not totally surprising but it's important to note that this is a retirement community in the bible belt!

Y'all, it's working! Keep spreading the word!
