I Think I’m Going To Need Extrovert Lessons Once This Is All Over Because I’m Pretty Sure I Can No Longer People.

Good morning, my lovelies! Y’all know I believe in honesty and cannot stand lying, so in case you were wondering, I believe that April Fools' is just an excuse for people to indulge in barely-acceptable sociopathy by (often) punching down. Now excuse me while I wrap myself in a blanket burrito and ignore the internet for the rest of the day.

J/K, here’s some internet for you, there’s no actual way I can stay off of it. 

• Get it, NY! New York Legalizes Recreational Marijuana, Tying Move to Racial Equity (NYT) Now if only the federal government could get on this bandwagon… (Bloomberg)

• Loving these shipping industry takes on the big and (formerly) stuck boat: I've sailed the Suez canal on a cargo ship – it's no wonder the Ever Given got stuck (The Guardian)

• We’re going to be dealing with the collective trauma of the past year for generations - This is your brain on pandemic: What chronic stress is doing to us. (h/t Mum)

• The Louvre has put its entire collection online! ART HISTORY NERDS, ASSEMBLE. (CNN)

• Gonna answer this question posed by NPR with a HELL YES: Should Masking Last Beyond The Pandemic? Flu And Colds Are Down, Spurring A Debate.

• And finally, sometimes randomly scrolling Twitter gives you stories about missing cows with headlines like this: Anne Arundel family moo-ved after Facebook sleuths help 3 escaped cows come home. A whole town helped get them home safe!

You’re lovely. Be kind to yourself, and wear that mask, please!
