I know there's dozens of things to contact reps about every single day, but today please contact them about keeping USPS independent. Privatizing USPS would be devastating for so many reasons, but personally it would destroy my small business if I can't have affordable/accessible service. 5calls.org

I will vote for the first candidate who tells me they're going to make the biggest government possible. Reacher-sized agencies. Braun Strowman-level social benefits. Government so big it starts belching out National Parks and free healthcare. Chungus State.

Organizing my browser bookmarks (high stakes stuff, yes) and almost all of the articles, studies, essays, etc. I saved from the 2010s internet are just gone. Websites, domains, entire news sites, down and gone. Especially on the comics side of things.

Always blindsided when I see screengrabs of someone's Stardew Valley game and they've modded all the character portraits to make everyone more conventionally attractive. Mandatory buccal fat removal for EVERYONE

The Stonewall Inn released a response to the National Parks Service removing the word transgender from the park outside of the Inn. A great reminder that we have to look after each other
