Let’s have an open thread today and discuss: what are you doing for self care during (gestures wildly) *all this*? How is your workplace and job either filling your cup or draining you? If you’re balancing work with a lot of volunteer efforts at the moment, how’s that going?
In the past, we’ve talked about anxiety and The State of the World a lot, but… it really is a lot right now. Some posts from our past that might be helpful to you:

Personally, a few things that I’m doing (in addition to calling my representatives and donating) include indulging in my latest obsession, flower gardening (yeah, I didn’t see that one coming either — although I do love that it includes spreadsheets so it’s like two hobbies in one!) and, in recent days, I’ve found that singing loudly when I’m alone brings a weird joy. (Perhaps this started when I serenaded friends with an old Kingston Trio song a few weeks ago…)
I wish I could say that I’m still reading funny books or watching funny shows — I’d love any recommendations you have! A lot of the shows that I’d like to watch now, at least in theory, are way too heavy (The Bear, The Pitt), so I find myself not watching much TV.
So… how are you guys doing? What are you doing to get through this moment in time?
