In addition to the worldwide tragedies, I've been dealing with car trouble this weekend which causes me a lot of anxiety. I also feel guilty for feeling bad about relatively minor problems in my life when there is so much hurting in the big world.

I watched a lot of Steven Universe this weekend and rewatched Ham4Ham videos on youtube. I recommend both of these for coping when everything seems to much.

The Flint Hills are spooky as all get out at night/all the time. I feel more freaked out by your story because it happened there.

Yes! Zen Cho wrote the very wonderful story "Prudence and the Dragon." I didn't know she had a novel. Thanks for linking it!

If you've got the strength for it, this poem about the refugee situation is beautiful and heart-breaking.

Ugh, ya'll. Thanks to yesterday's roundup, I've been listening to Lin-Manuel Miranda's Hamilton rap performance at the White House and crying about not living anywhere near New York. I want to go see it so badly, but I can't justify flying to New York when I'm taking a vacation somewhere else later this year.

Semi-serious astrological question ya'll. I was born a month early so would this effect my sign? I've always gone with the one for my actual birth rather than my due date, but I've always been kind of curious if that would be wrong according to people that actually believe and or know about this kind of thing.

Oh no. I'm a Gemini, and I'm going on a cruise in a few months. I was trying to press down ship related anxiety but now this can help kick it up a notch.

I am so sorry that you went through this. My heart aches in recognition for you. I was emotionally abused for years by my brother, and it's still hard for me to believe that I am not the person he made me think I was. Thank you for so eloquently sharing the peculiar pain of this form of domestic violence. You are so strong, and smart, and true.

I usually hate Tuesday mornings, but today I love them because this Tuesday morning I heard this wonderful news. I am so excited.

Ooooo, I'm in Wichita. I didn't realize that this was so close or so cool. Now, I'm going to have to do a reread and go visit.
