Starbucks released a policy earlier this month requiring employees to be vaxx3d against covid. As of today that policy has been reversed.
Today the Czech Republic scrapped their mandatory tax policy that would have forced “key professionals” and citizens over 60 to get the shot.
Good stuff for the global mood!
I burn down my house and build it up again (Tell 'em)
I burn it down twice just for the fun of it (Tell 'em)
So much money, I don't know what to do with it (Tell 'em)

Now, first big snowstorm here & honestly.. not my type
Certain personalities may thrive in a winter wasteland where being trapped indoors, immobile and disconnected inspires them. But not me.
Where’s the sun?
Tanned skin?
Sweat dripping from brows?
Bikinis and speedos?
Open windows with soft breeze and warm air flowing through?
It’s not even soft winter wonderland snow. Now it’s melted, hardened to nothing but a dangerous sheet of ice willing to make victim to anyone unsuspecting. The notorious Black ice.
How black ice is a racially aimed attack on the African American community by creating and inferring a misleading contrast between good (white) snow and evil (black) ice:

Hahahah. I kid. That’s how liberal arts universities will have you writing though.
The only good thing about Winter weather is you get starved for summer. You get so hungry for those Months that when they finally get here it’s euphoric. Many lessons here. I’m sure Freud would throw in something about instant gratification and how being denied of what’s desired in the present moment will only strengthen your will. Who knows. Summer nationalists till I die.
Not to mention the lack of vitamin D will have you out here looking like billie eillish with eyes that are empty and tired. This is true epidemic!
A lot of gen Z cultural icons have this blank stare like they’re trying to push ‘indifference’ and ‘passivity’ and ‘numbed’ as a cool trait to impressionable teens. Zendaya and eillish are the two I’ve noticed most tormented by this look of lifelessness. GET YOUR SUNLIGHT!
Want to help brother Graham with the purpose formula from the Jan 09 posting. [I identify personally with Grahams answers to this.]
Simple simple simple, when in doubt simplify it out. Treat it like teaching a lesson to an elementary school student:
Your burden: Pollution
Your Interest: Sea Turtles and The Ocean
You Skills: Video Editing
Now you have some loose direction. Send edits you made to international sea turtle charities. Created videos about the damaging effects Sea Turtles are experiencing through pollution.
Fill in the blank to make it fit for you personally. But make it less abstract and conceptual, this makes things more clear for you.
God speed,
