Daylight saving time always messes me up. Doesn’t matter if it’s springing ahead or falling back. My internal chronometer has trouble reconciling the new reality with the time my body thinks it is. It’s worse than jet lag. At least that involves the adventure of a journey - instead of staying in the same place while collectively agreeing on the fiction of a new time. Not the sort of time travel I find compelling. I’ve been flailing all week. And trying not to drown in the dire news cycles. But there have been some random beacons of hope in the murk.
Five glimmers of light in the gloom:
- This week’s elections were interesting. Democrats Win Control in Virginia and Claim Narrow Victory in Kentucky Governor’s Race
- Hundreds Of Oklahoma Inmates Freed In Country’s Largest Single-Day Commutation: More than 450 prison inmates behind bars for low-level and non-violent charges were released Monday across the state of Oklahoma - we definitely need more of this.
- Contemporary Woodblock Prints Reimagine David Bowie as Mystical Japanese Legends
- Adobe, Twitter, and The New York Times Company have announced a new system for adding attribution to photos and other content.
- She-Ra season 4 dropped this week! Naturally, my son and I have already watched all of the episodes. And I made .a very earnestly nerdy tweet about it that sorta blew up, which was adorable.
I’m closing out this weird week with some pretty big news. Something I had been cautiously optimistic about. And I’m curious how it will continue to unfold. But I can’t go public with that just yet. Though I may be squeeeeing on the inside a bit.
