Make stuff. Do your hobbies. Geek out with your weird friends. Practice arts and crafts. Every society that ever burned to the ground left behind only the handicrafts, and every society saved from the brink was saved only by arts. Do not give up the joy of creating.

Apropo of nothing thinking of the (now quaint) Doonesbury cartoon of Nixon’s final days, that was just a drawing of the White House with the increasingly unhinged taped messages translated. Again, seems quaint now, but also kind of similar to this presidential timeline.
