Share your shows/books/art/music! We need to see the creativity of humanity just as surely as we need to shine light on the destructive side.
Just thinking about this document I had to read in school.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."
If you're not in Minnesota and curious how to help, this is a week old but is well organized, includes multiple easy-to-understand bullet points, and seems like a good place to start: www.reddit.com/r/minnesota/...

Any authors/artists feeling weird about doing self-promotion right now: I'm actually kind of begging you to bring some of your unique creation to my timeline.
Not just as a distraction, but because art is a tool for building empathy--it's the way we learn to see the world through other eyes.
This week on the program, our heroes defend their hotel room from the dog catchers and try to figure out how much air you can keep in a bag!
