Schitt's Creek was the first show that really made me laugh again after my brother died. It made me remember that the world could still be beautiful and hilarious even though life felt so hard and sad.
What a treasure. What a loss.

Doing Lat Am history homework about the new post-revolution republics. Vast wealth disparities + lack of funds for investments in infrastructure and public institutions led to more conservative states run by populist strongmen propped up by personal armies and patronage/spoils systems.

Yesterday, after shoveling snow for the fourth day in a row, my knees were what hurt most. Twenty-four hours later, what hurts most is my ribs (or diaphragm?). Bodies are weird.

I don't know whether to shovel snow because I woke up to the sound of sleet or ice. Looks like we are right on the snow/sleet line of the storm now. 🫤
