Music is a HUGE special interest of mine and I love sharing music so I thought I'd post what I find every week. I find new songs/artists almost daily!! I'll link to Spotify, YouTube, and Bandcamp if applicable.

Above is an inspirational attitude adjustment to be applied as needed in these strange times
Above is a reconsideration (lengthy but important) that I believe allows folks to recontextualize their intense anger and disgust and remind us where that energy matters most. Justice is important, but your neighbors, your family, your community is more important.
Every place that can hold some news is causing me to test the boundaries of my restraint, in combination with a few other sharp details, it puts me in a very stupid headstate, possibly more impulsive towards conclusions than would be helpful.
Its okay to curate what brings you peace, its okay and very much preferable to build when they would rather you be wrought in despair.
Be ungovernable by being resilient, not just wrathful.
