Hey hello and welcome to this week’s Friday Open Thread, your weekly hangout for whatever dreams and wishes and hopes you want to bring to the table, and also for bragging about your life, because you’re hanging in there and doing great.

Did you know that the more you think you’re going to be okay, the more likely it is that you’ll actually be okay? Science says so. Since the last time we checked in, I’ve been going around telling everyone that I’m actually doing really great right now and things are pretty okay and today is pretty awesome actually, and even though objectively speaking that probably couldn’t be further from the truth, in my heart I’m actually starting to believe it. Today is a pretty good day actually and my dog is cute and my hair is cuter and in the cult-y exercise classes I can’t believe I keep going to they keep yelling at me that I’ve always been this brave and I’m starting to believe that, too.
(I mean everything is fucked forever but also maybe okay. Be right here.)
Anyway what’s new, what’s up with you? Show us your pets, guerrilla gardens, partners, mood boards, that one weird flower you saw this morning, that gif that made you want to die but in a good way. What are you doing for dinner tonight? What are you up to this weekend? (I hate to bring it up but) what are your plans for the summer we have left?
