Things that have helped me recently:
1) little things still matter
2) the power of a solid meal, a big glass of water, and a good night's sleep
3) remembering how much words of encouragement or a compliment meant after a tough day
4) action is the enemy of despair
5) I can do things through spite

The new bill would pave the way for restaurants to use nearby sidewalk and street space 365 days per year β€” and allow other establishments, like grocery stores and cafes, to join in the practice: https://gothamist.visitlink.me/QgWFVX

I went in only being aware that Robbie Williams is a person who exists and has a song called "Angels" (but not knowing what it sounded like), and I eventually felt like I got pretty into it

Hi! Have you had something high-protein today, drank a glass of water or gone outside? Many things are bad, but you still matter, and are someone worth taking care of. I know how hard you are trying. One thing at a time.

Caltrain electrified trains return power to grid, offsetting energy costs For decades, Caltrain has been known for what it takes off the roads. Now, it's being rewarded for what it puts back into the power grid.

Caltrain’s new electric trains are designed to recuperate energy when breaking. The agency made a deal to sell that energy back to the local power supplier, which will net the agency millions of dollars in annual revenues.

When things feel pointless, remember the small things that make a difference in your life, then do them for yourself and others.

A high protein meal.
A big glass of water.
Taking meds.
A compliment or word of thanks.
A long walk outside.

I see how hard you're trying.
Little things still matter.

At the end of their life, what will they have to show for outsourcing every human experience to AI? Seriously, what? Not more time, not more energy, and certainly not more connection. What a horrible way to live.

Children who have Covid twice double their risk of long Covid More than 6 million American children suffer from long Covid which can lead to life-threatening complications

β€œChildren who have Covid twice are at double the risk of experiencing long Covid.”

β€œThe findings, published Tuesday, challenge the perception that Covid cases in children are β€œmild,” as well as the notion that re-infections do not carry the same risk”
