The And Friend Edition

There are also online versions of these kinds of games but in my experience the intimacy and physicality of the deck and cards in your hands can't really be replaced. You could definitely just print yourself a deck however!

I have a deck of a game like this from the 00s and it's resulted in some very interesting gatherings.

head to the pub with a deck of cards and a limited social battery and your spirits will be lifted. you don’t have to talk, just easy silent companionship. feels liberating to be ambience for other people’s conversations
even better when playing offbeat card games that confuse the other patrons - i.e. italian card game SCOPA which is super fun, easy to learn and has funky suites

It’s nice to be the one in the friend group who always has a game planned. I keep one deck in my purse and one on my car. Then have some quick games that are easy to teach. I suggest:
Six Card Golf
Garbage
Bullshit
Presidents and Assholes

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
