will I choose water over wine, and hold my own and drive?

Caught this on a Discord server this morning:
[5:13 AM] masticina πŸ‡: the virus doesn't cares about your politics
[5:14 AM] masticina πŸ‡: your age, sexuality, your disabilities or abilities...
[5:14 AM] masticina πŸ‡: the virus takes without judgment
[5:16 AM] masticina πŸ‡: I think that a lot of people don't understand that
[5:16 AM] masticina πŸ‡: the only thing that seems to matter is, can you be smart with it.
[5:16 AM] masticina πŸ‡: are you and the people around you handling it well
[5:16 AM] masticina πŸ‡: if not, you get disneyland that just reopened and already has big name vlogger/bloggers sick again
[5:28 AM] masticina πŸ‡: one day it took... one day
Welp. That's depressing. But true.

We move on.

Historians are finding new ways to get attention to their museums--still mostly empty due to the pandemic, they've been culling archives worldwide for recipes and other craft ideas people can do at home. Great idea.

And did you know the US had a female lighthouse keeper? Precisely one, too, the sole woman ever to be afforded a gig at a lighthouse.

While we're at it, have a history of playing cards and the history of the first St. Patrick's Day parade. And did you know all but two country's recommended nutritional plans are massively flawed? I did not know that.

And lastly, a pretty for the day:

Lunar-Tripsa-Aurora-Borealis

This spinny thing sits offshore from Tylar's Treasures. Though the maker, Tylar, tells me it's actually not his, but on his neighbor's land.

Considering his neighbor is Lunar Tripsa of newly rebranded Ever Green fame, that makes sense. She does a lot of fun things with light. And that particular one? Floats, spins, changes color, and she's selling it for L$100. How cool is that?

And finally, I can't remember where I came across this, but here's a list of the best SF novels from the 1960s to read. Sixty years back didn't see the start of SF novels, that would've been 1940s, I think, if you don't count outliers like Frankenstein as pure science fiction. But it's still a very fun list.
