If you are a liberal in deep blue territory, one thing you could try doing right now is figuring out how to replace your Democratic member of Congress next year. With very few exceptions, the typical safe seat Dem is not meeting the moment. Find someone who will and help them.

RJ Storm's workshop. He is a violin maker and banjoist in the Hudson Valley. That fiddle body in the foreground is a five-string he's building. The mando he's working on is mine. www.instagram.com/explore/loca...

Unfollowing a person I like, who is sincere and interesting, but who posts so much that everybody else gets drowned out. It's a form of being an overtalker, like the kid who always raises their hand in class. I don't hate you, Overtalkers. Sometimes I am one! I just want to hear other people too.
