It gives me hope for the future- we'll weather this storm and come out with a better movement, most likely. But it takes time, annoyingly. I'm glad I read his book!

The president married an immigrant too, lol.
During the last lavender scare, the Russians were just as paranoid that their gay citizens were western inventions and persecuted them quite heavily.
...while the US did the same, thinking they were also security risks. This culminated in a society so fearful that people used to introduce themselves first by telling people that they had a wife and kids, then their name. A government official even killed themselves at their desk because their son was outed as gay. We even sabotaged our own ICBM program by firing one of the only astronomers we had capable of working on such things, because he was gay.
He went on to be the father of the gay rights movement as we know it today.
David K Johnson has a whole book about the whole lavender scare, it's quite a good read.
Or worse, getting pushed by new colonial powers like Russia to ban "western" things like LGBT rights while they steal all the gold and other resources from them. I was hoping Prigozhin dying like a moron would have sapped the Russian's colonial forces in Africa. Unfortunately not.
What if you just didn't go home at first? Hit a climbing gym with buddies, or buy an ebike and use that to commute home. Interrupting your normal schedule and psychologically making home only a place of rest might help you reset your life a bit.
You don't have to spend money either. You could even just hit up a park, the library, or hang out with buddies. We tend to go swimming lots once standard time hits.
I usually use something bleach-based for toilet and sinks, as they can start to get funky, especially around tile. Sometimes a bleach powder for the tub bottom, if it gets dirty and is difficult to scrub with simple green. I sometimes swap between simple green and bleach-based, depending on what I'm wearing. I've destroyed multiple pieces of clothing with bleach, unfortunately. It does really clean dirty things easily, though.
Also, alcohol wipes can clean walls, if they start to get dirty (eg, bug droppings, pollen, etc. we keep our windows open in summer)
I don't know what people eat, but someone in Lycra was doing well above 32km/h on flat ground on our bike path. My ebike is speed capped and I couldn't keep up, lol.
Anecdotally, yes. I was able to go from dusting my PC every 3-6mo to every year.
The filters are completely fuzzy on the air filters every 6-12 mo. I still vacuum and dust, just way less frequently. I also don't wear shoes in the house.
I run them 24/7 in my bedroom and office.
Just imagine, for a moment, having your salary even being a million dollars a year. Even with a mortgage and kids, that would be a fuckload of money. 95 times that is insane. Even after buying multiple supercars, a mansion, and a fancy boat, you'd still have more money than you could possibly use, ever. And that's just one year of pay.
God, even if you invested part of a million a year, you'd be fantastically wealthy.
A one man environmental disaster. J. R. McNeill opined that Midgley "had more adverse impact on the atmosphere than any other single organism in Earth's history"
