GET YOUR ANHEDONIA REMEDIES HERE!
if you are lost in the rut, i am begging you to read this essay by Sasha Chapin suggesting what, essentially, my take, are potential jump-starts back into living life in real time. like actually experiencing experiences
do it now! don’t lose months, years, or decades! there is a life beyond doomscrolling, and it’s finite (sorry. sorry. i know okay)
Things worn down by people.
this is unironically one of the most beautiful photo sets i've ever seen
?????? rich people are losing it
to be clear, yes i would also do some of this if i had the money. im experiencing blinding envy over the dr pepper mirror dimension.

i like tumblr because occasionally i’ll be recommended a 12 year old post that depicts something so absolutely my shit that it makes me believe in art again
Today's action item:
Call Cory Booker's office and say thank you. If you're not one of his direct constituents, say so and indicate you're calling to show he has national support. Aides and pages are allowed to speak with him and other Senators may receive messages they can pass on via questions, meaning he will find out at some point in proceedings.
Also, you can watch direct from his website:
The NPR article is so so good, just FYI.
If Booker continues to speak a few minutes past the 24-hour mark, his speech will surpass the previous longest-spoken filibuster, set in 1957 by noted segregationist Strom Thurmond, who took the podium at the time to oppose the Civil Rights Act.
Booker is Black.
He beat the record by the way! So suck it Thurmond and Cruz!
The speech has covered a wide range of topics from health care and Social Security to immigration, the economy, public education, free speech and foreign policy. And it included portions of letters that Booker said he had received from affected constituents, as well as public comments from world leaders, in recent weeks.
And he's not doing bs tactics either.
Booker has not yet pulled out the phone book or children's literature to read from, as some of his predecessors have done on the Senate floor. He has stayed focused on the topic of Trump's agenda and how he says it is hurting everyday Americans — weaving together domestic and foreign policy concerns.
Unlike other politicians like Ted Cruz in 2013
Later that year, Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, took to reading Dr. Seuss’s "Green Eggs and Ham," while holding the floor to oppose former president Obama’s health care law.
At 25 hours and one minute, with basically no voice left, Cory Booker has ceded the floor.
The longest speech in the history of Congress is now one in defense of democracy, checks and balances, and protection for lower-class Americans.
We finally found one, guys, it's a Democrat with a fucking BACKBONE.
I was so thrilled he made it past Thurmond's record. I watched him for awhile very late last night and listened on CSPAN most of the day today while I was working. I went out tonight, but kept checking in on him. I hope he has the best night of sleep of his life tonight.

SAME. When he beat the record I heard someone else at my job go "woo!" and I was like ah, I see I'm not the only one listening.
