Make your calls. Go to your town halls. Ask your state and local officials what they are doing under state and local law. Rest. Hydrate. Make soup for the hungry. Don’t let people tell you that you’re doing it wrong. Not a sprint. Not a marathon. A relay. Find your team. Thank you.

Started watching four episodes of vintage anime (Sailor Moon, Patlabor, Slayers, Gundam) every week with Discord friends and can't stress enough how watching fun stuff with online friends is a low-cost, low-effort way to help you feel better about shit. Can't recommend it enough.

My thoughts: I grew up in Germany and never understood why, as teenagers, we had to “tour” concentration camps that are left almost “as is” and write essays about it in school as it was a truly gruesome experience.
Twenty-five years later, I do fully and wholeheartedly understand WHY.

You won't believe this. My team and I make this show called SciShow that works hard to be rigorous and accurate while also being appealing and entertaining.
We reach a LOT of people every year with episodes about crabs and neutrinos and gender and cancer and vaccines.
It's great, I love it.

In Judaism, when someone dies we say, "May their memory be a blessing." Now that we've lost one of the savviest political cartoonists to ever do it, I'll say:
May his memory be a blessing, and his legacy be a guiding, inspirational force to all artists.

Four years ago I wrote my inaugural poem The Hill We Climb. Both when I wrote it and performed it, I did so while continuously reflecting on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr and Coretta Scott King’s legacy.
