Carrot cake, cut through

I'm a big fan of John Mulaney's stand-up. Mike Birbiglia is also really good.

Honestly, "The Fifth Season" was one of the few examples of second person writing that I actively enjoyed, and that didn't feel unusual for the sake of unusual.

I find that "Learn enough about topic X to have an informed opinion about it" is a too nebulous to be useful.  So I don't try to do anything like this. Better would be something like "Read 3 well-regarded books on topic X", and hopefully one's opinion just improves after that.

First time making split pea soup!

Remember when outside wasn't dangerous? Good times.

I am really not sure what my street is going to look like in 6 months.

Saw Trevor Noah doing the Daily Show from his apartment and holy shit why is it that this is what makes me more anxious than literally anything else?

I cannot imagine what it would be like to self-quarantine without the Internet. Or maybe I just don't want to.

Not crowded at Canadian Tire today. Lacking subtext, I have to say I don't hate it.

I think I'm more afraid of societal breakdown then I am of actually getting infected with the Corona virus.
