Incredibly rewarding to give back to the Earth. If you are lucky enough to have a backyard, you likely find an easy compost system that works for you. Hopefully your big city has one too.
A lot of information about compost is very focused on efficiency. But really all you need to do is have a pile of fruit & vegetable trash (no dairy no meat) that you mix half and half with dry materials (compostable carry out, recycled brown paper bags, grass or leaf litter, etc.). We use little home compostable trash bags to discourage non-insect animals from partaking. Stir and then water the pile once in a while and watch your yard (and surrounding yards) come back to life.

It's not only for people who garden! I just learned that it also allows food waste to decompose properly without releasing a bunch of methane into the atmosphere. There are lots of compost pickup services too (Bootstrap Compost covers the Boston area and RI), some of which even trade it for fresh soil for your own garden or donate it to school programs!

I feel like 12 is a wonderful place to start. 1 book a month. Keep it in your bathroom. Beside your bed. Where you eat your meals. Please read this year. It's one of the best things you can do for yourself. and for me, and for everyone who you'll tell, I'm reading again, and you should read with me too. Take pictures or screencaps of passages and send them to your friends. Read funny, easy books, evil and upsetting books, books that are boring but are still satisfying to finish. Go to the library. Challenge yourself. You will feel better, you'll feel proud of yourself, and you'll banish the negative moodlet of being mad or ashamed at yourself for not reading. It's ok that you haven't been. You had your reasons and it doesn't do any good to beat up on yourself. That was then and this was now. Start a book tomorrow bc it is a new day :)

I don't listen to any AI generated playlists because I prefer to hear ones curated by people. I love sharing music as a human to human thing. It's also dismaying how music streaming services prioritize the songs of artists whose management pay them, etc.
It's so fun to simply browse anonymous person's curated lists instead on top of sharing with friends. It's never been easier to peek into someone else's semi-private music preference and walk their landscape. Just today I found a person who's made dozens of playlists for specific beanie babies (!), all with no saves or likes.
We don't need AI driven sorting to develop taste and find things we like. Break out of the corral with me and run free. Let's see what's over the hill
