Today I'm appreciating that the local library has a small glass display case which has rotating exhibits by local kids. It might be things that they've made or collected or just like, all with handwritten labels.

Remember the 80s?
When families used to gather around the TV to watch their favorite heartwarming dystopian shows like Cyberpunky Brewster?
What's the most ridiculous GDPR email that you've received so far? Mine has to be an email asking if I still want updates from a record label about Tasmin Archer, who last released an album twelve years ago.
At least it got me to listen to Sleeping Satellite again! https://youtu.be/lOqVQPq8zm8
Today I'm appreciating what a sea of serendipity the internet is. Back in 2004, some friends and my future husband found a flyer while walking around town. They gave it to me because I was stuck at work instead of being able to go out with them. I scanned it in and posted it on LiveJournal, and then it took on a life of its own: http://www.lostfrog.org/
And this morning I just ran across someone who recently picked Hopkin Green Frog as a username.

Meet Avi! 🥑
Today I'm appreciating game streaming. It's humbling that anyone is willing to take the time, hang out, and chat while I play games. And I've met so many great people.

Today I'm appreciating that as quickly as I'm moving into the future, I'm moving into the past even faster. I'm constantly discovering things that people were doing tens or hundreds or thousands of years before I realized they were. And understanding and building on those learnings and connections across the decades and centuries can only make us stronger.

Today I'm appreciating how many things there are that are yet to be said. This is in no way a scientific test, but try typing in a sentence that you just heard and seeing how often there are zero search results on the internet. The machines don't know everything! Neither do the humans.

Today I'm appreciating Mickalene Thomas' painting Le déjeuner sur l’herbe: Les trois femmes noires, which you can see today at the Seattle Art Museum. It's not as sparkly in photos, but I think you get the... picture. https://www.mickalenethomas.com/

Today I'm appreciating that my nephew and niece are keeping up their streak of having their birthday parties at museums. As someone who wanted to be the kids in From the Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler when I was growing up, it warms my museum-loving heart.

Please stop calling the police to report black people existing.
Today I'm appreciating ArtsWest's run of the play An Octoroon, which is closing this weekend. It's both funny and harrowing, both unexpected and structured, both artificial and emotional, and constantly had me both feeling things and questioning why I felt that way. And Lamar Legend is pretty amazing in it.
If you're considering it, I definitely recommend taking the content warnings seriously. https://www.artswest.org/theatre-plays/an-octoroon/

Today I'm appreciating that my brain decided that I would have an extended dream about researching, constructing, and giving a presentation about the career of Ralph Macchio, including imaginary video clips. Admirably random choice, brain.

Today I'm appreciating Alicia Garza's (co-founder of #BlackLivesMatter) keynote at the Allied Media Conference: https://alliedmedia.org/news/2017/09/05/alicia-garza-speaks-building-power-amc2017-opening-ceremony
"It won't be easy. We will disappoint each other. Make each other mad. We will hurt each other and we will make mistakes. We will disagree. Building a movement across difference for the sake of our collective transformation is that task of our generation and the generations that we will fight for to succeed us."
