I think we under-estimate how many people are miserable because they have no enthusiasms, no hobbies, because they gave up reading and quit learning when school ended. It's shocking how much studying a beloved subject elevates your mood. It will transform your life.
Yes! 5 or 6 years before my mom passed, she would sit in front of the TV all day. She had no enthusiasm for anything. I started taking her to the library a couple of times a week. The change was remarkable.
Yay! The wasps are back... 🐝
Ugh, I have to cut down some small volunteer trees and find where these damn wasps are coming from. 😞 I'm definitely an indoorsman. πŸͺ“

We've both been sung once. 🐝
That's what I did today. Missed a family reunion.🀞🏻I sealed every window sash and seal with metal duct tape. Hopefully I got it.
When we got home from vacation the house was full of wasps. Not millions, just 20 at a time and we couldn't figure out where they were coming in. As many as we eliminated they just replaced the dead ones. We haven't seen a new one in 3 hrs... Now I'm paranoid 😬
Not to change the fascinating subject but, have you read any of the Murderbot books or viewed the television show?
Phew, I thought I was only one. This book has been described as "the only history of the 30's and 40's in which WWII was just a side note". Other than archive.org, did you have cool other sources?
My classic sci-fi bookclub is woke and 50% women. The #1 off-topic is Star Trek. The amount of copium that old white dudes ingest is astounding. Boo Hoo, Bob!

Fandom as we know it exists today because of female Star Trek fans. It’s just so frustrating to have women’s roles in sci-fi history denied, because it extends well beyond fandom and creates the perception that women haven’t contributed as much to society at large as men, which is violent erasure
All of the world's shittiest people are racing each other to the top of the shit pile.
In normal times I would be shocked and outraged. Now I'm like "this is only the 3rd most disturbing thing this week". All of the world's shittiest people are racing each other to the top of the shit pile.

I always assumed that when capitalism died it would be followed by communism. This is much worse. Now considering a commune in the hinterlands disguised as a Dollar General.
