Wandered around a used book store for quite a while—a quirky, interesting place that is passionate about rehoming books.
Saw this and it landed heavily.

I can't say I'm proud of it but having way too much fun listening to Kelsey McKinney's (Defector) Normal Gossip
"juicy, strange, funny, and
utterly banal gossip about people you’ll never know and never meet"; "evokes the thrill of sitting next to chatty, high-drama strangers at a café"

It looks like a long protracted war.
Please do not lose focus. I really believe that this war is the Russians to lose. But when this is over, the real hard work of rebuilding Ukraine begins.

Shared by a friend: "I've been unfollowed by someone who says they follow me for 'positivity, not politics'. But to positively care about the world you need to engage with it and protect it. Positivity isn't sitting and smiling in a yoga pose with a scented candle while the world burns. Positivity is taking a stand for things you love and care for."

I'm going to go dark for a while after this statement... today is harrowing in many ways.
There need to be no lifetime appointments at any level of government, it breeds corruption. We need term limits for all federally elected positions, because the current system not only breeds corruption, but rewards it.
Funfact - Ben & Jerry's ice cream created "If I Had 1,000,000 Flavours" in honor of this song in 2009, making Barenaked Ladies the first Canadian band to get their own flavor.

I've been very lucky to go to a lot of amazing live events (sports/music/live event). One that stays with me always is the Oingo Boingo Farewell show 1995.
We close our eyes and dream and the world has turned around again...
