Spend your nights anxious about which way the town is going? Actually do something to change it! Being in the US right now, I feel sometimes powerless to all the shit politicians/ corporations/ etc. are pulling. However, the only way to beat that terrible feeling is to actually do the work to make the world a better place. By being involved in local government/ groups/ initiatives, even if it’s super annoying and reeks of bureaucracy, you can at least say you tried. There’s also the benefit of meeting people who also care about things (like increasing arts funding or whatever) and probably share other interests too.

Instead of trying to schedule meetings, I’ve taken to going for a standing weekly or bi-weekly. Scheduling is replaced by skipping for the week. This works because I have a bunch of long term projects with collaborators right now, but it’s also nice because many of these people are friends of mine, so even if we don’t have updates we can just take the hour to catch up. This practice has bled into social life; I’ve now got a handful of monthly dinner dates in rotation.

I’m not recommending it per say (although the cookies are really good obviously im just assuming everyone knows about it already) I just want to tell this story of what may be the funniest thing I’ve ever overheard in public: I was taking the train into the city from Jersey and these four Rutgers frat guy freshmen were sitting in front of me. After they finished talking about all of the “NYU, FIT, and Parsons” girls that were going to be at the party they were attending that night (no mention of cooper union, LOL, or any CUNY (classist)) one of them said “you guys, we have to go to this place it’s called levain bakery” and he kept bringing it up throughout the train ride. His friends made fun of him for “jerking off with his girl on FaceTime” and immediately after he said “bro go onto instagram type l-e-v-a-i-n.” He wanted levain bakery SO BAD. It was extremely funny. At the end of the trip they realized they got into NYC too late for levain bakery. I felt kind of bad for them.
