When Life Gives You Lemons, Shake Them

//Hello there, traveler. I couldn’t help but overhear your need for… ambient mixes. I have some here that I think you might enjoy.

Who can’t resist a thunderstorm and a crackling fire? Perhaps you can even pair it with the ticking of a grandfather clock.

Or perhaps you would like to find yourself in a coffee shop as rain pours outside?

Relaxing by the harbor, even?

Might you perhaps find yourself back in the Victorian era? 

Maybe you’d prefer to hang out in a bar, listening to music and chatter?

Are you interested in listening to the ambiance of a lonely gas station instead?

How about the sounds of a cozy campfire on the beach?

Who can resist the sounds of a writer’s library from the 1930s?

I can’t resist the sounds of a fountain in a courtyard garden. Perhaps you’re the same in that regard?

Would you like to spend your morning in a meadow?

How about some birdsong in a forest?

Or a carriage ride through a forest?

A creaky pirate ship on the ocean seas during a storm?

A swamp at night?

Or even a seaside market?

Potion shop sounds, anyone?

Would you like some ocean waves?

And who can resist a campfire by the river at night?

How about a room under water?

Can you resist time spent at a mountain lake?

How about a spaceship?

Or piano from another room?

Every now and then, I don’t mind the sounds of a busy kitchen. How about it?

Maybe I can interest you in a night spent in a greenhouse?

How about a cozy street in Spain?

Or an Italian cafe at night?

I would not be surprised to find you back in an old library, of course.

Who can resist a nice winter cabin?

Or early morning ambiance?

I’m sure the wizard won’t mind if you stay here for a little bit.

A winter campfire with owls in the distance? Don’t mind if I do.

How about a train ride in the rain?

Or a car ride in the rain?

Have at it, traveler. Perhaps one day you’ll come back and I’ll have more to offer you.

u/Cant_Even18 shares the horrific details of what it was like to have COVID.

Wear your masks. Wash your hands. Socially distance. And most importantly: stay the fuck home if you can.

The above video titled “The Unequal Opportunity Race” was screened as part of a schoolwide Black History Month program at Glen Allen High School in Glen Allen, Virginia. Some parents apparently weren’t thrilled about that. One local grandparent had two words for what this video was pushing on white kids.

You’re talking about Craig Taubman’s version!!

Imagine: Its 2025. You're getting pulled over. A community representative approaches to let you know you have a taillight out. They don't need your license and registration, they don't write you a fix-it ticket. You're back on the road in less than five minutes. You swing by the store and grab a new light, not because you're afraid of what the city will do to you, but because you respect your community and know that having all your lights working is part of the driving privilege.

Your neighbors got into a loud spat a few weeks ago and without fear or hesitation, called a domestic assistance number. A counselor arrived and was able to talk the couple down and suggest solutions for their disagreement. No one was hurt, the kids participated in the discussion, and it's been quiet ever since.

Your friend has been struggling with addiction and you fear they might be a danger to themselves or others. You call a substance abuse specialist and they talk you through ways to help your friend get treatment. They offer to send an agent out to speak with your friend directly and provide information on harm reduction centers in your area.

Black and brown people are no longer being exploited through tickets and fines to pay for police. Trust is slowly being fostered in the community.

Teachers are being paid a living wage and students are being given more time, attention, and education. Books are up to date and classrooms are optimized to keep up with technology.

Trump is out of office.

It’s been a very long time since the name of a murdered black person was used as a hashtag.

Casual racism is no longer tolerated. The KKK has been classified as a terrorist organization. The Confederate flag isnt flown and has been removed from any official state flags or insignias. Most Confederate monuments have been taken down and placed in storage or museums.

You trust the investigation force to deal with crime the same way you trust firefighters to put out fires.

That's what 'defund the police' looks like. What we've seen in the last few weeks shows how overreaching and power-drunk many officers are. We asked too much of them and then called them heroes despite evidence to the contrary. We let them think that they could get away with anything, including murder. Its time for change.
