Strands puzzle from me and my good buddy Rhea. Hope you enjoy it! 😊

There’s a reason they call it “doomscrolling” and not “joyscrolling.” The longer you’re here the madder you’ll get. Lean on your community. Video chat with friends and talk about the kids, work, or the show you’re enjoying. And then, make plans to *do* something together. Got ideas? Post ‘em below.
