a song: Occupy Your Mind by Grace Petrie on Bandcamp

a taste: chocolate-and-floral tea I need some of.

a cause: Donate to Unicef in the name of your least favorite antivaxx/regressive relative this holiday season!

a sight: a pretty rock. I kinda want to chew on it?

a groove: Do Not Break, a DrumNBass music generator by myNoise

a kinship: AuDHD Belonging with guest Pasha Marlowe on Audhd Flourishing podcast

a thinky: Heteropessimism: A fun new word for my vocabulary! I don’t necessarily agree with the article, but it is an interesting way to look at heterosexual's meta-experiences around their relations.

a project: How to keep track of important papers by ms-demeanor from tumblr. I am collecting GLP-1 data right now, but also want to start cleaning up and clearing out all the stuff from the garage that I don’t need.

It was a big thing when I was a kid to "Trick or Treat for UNICEF" and people would put pocket change in the little orange paperboard boxes we assembled at school. Then we'd turn them in at school and trust the money went to the children who needed it.

Aww, I don’t remember us doing anything like that in the 80’s. In the 90’s we started doing Toys For Tots drives in high school, (bc mass market Christianity, ofc) but never anything about making other kids safer or healthier or more supported in a way that wasn’t flashy or designed to wind up as a sound byte on the local news station. I wish we had.

I started kindergarten in 1970. I knew enough by high school to know that Reagan's deregulation of capitalism was ruining everything.

New Grace Petrie out in time for Bandcamp Friday!

Sadly I gave my spare fun money to myNoise, instead of buying her album. Then again, I trust Bandcamp to be there later, but myNoise is a much smaller outfit. I don’t want them to disappear.

Entirely valid!
