Good morning, delightful humans! Don’t forget: tomorrow night, I’m hosting Odd Salon Shorts: MISTAKES WERE MADE. We did our dress rehearsal yesterday, and it was SO much fun. So if you’re interested in learning more about botched assassinations, terrible taxidermy, useless ornamental ships, Disneyland’s Black Sunday and the naughtiest of bibles, please get your tickets now!

TO THE INTERNET!

• The Republican National Convention is this week. And the platform they are debuting? There will be no platform, only that the GOP will “continue to enthusiastically support the president's America-first agenda.” Ok.

• OOOF, I felt this story in my bones: What if ‘nothing ever goes back to normal’? Depression, anxiety mount in Bay Area. 

• And finally, thank you Friend of the Missive Sheila for sharing what may be my absolute favorite story on our new collective uncertainty, so much so that the article must have been created in a lab, it’s that damned delightful: How are dogs coping during the pandemic?

Y’all are lovely. Be kind to each other, and where your masks, please!

xoxo Amy
