  • Macy’s windows are overhyped, go see the Saks Fifth Avenue light show. It’s outdoors and projected onto the building with coordinated music, it changes every year and I’ve always enjoyed it. Then you’re like a 2 minute walk away from the Rockefeller Center, where you can see that iconic over the top NYC Christmas scene that’s always on movies and TV, of a gigantic decorated Christmas tree outside with a ton of people ice skating in front of it. Then get some spiced nuts, that shit’s good. Perfect Christmas outing in NYC 👍



  • There are treaties giving certain rights to First Nations/Native American groups that you don’t get from being a US citizen. One of those is the right to freely travel between the US and Canada for hunting and fishing on traditional lands. These are rights Canada recognized when they signed the Jay Treaty in 1794. I don’t know if that’s the exact treaty that would be used in this case, but the relationships between and the legal rights of Native Americans and First Nations aren’t always cut off at the border.















  • If you have an easier time focusing on spoken word, audiobooks might be worth checking out. It’s been shown that both reading and audiobooks activate the same areas in the brain, so you’re still engaging your mind like you are with reading. I prefer audiobooks because they allow me to do something visual/tactile that doesn’t engage the language part of my brain at all, like a card game or sewing, so I leave that part of my brain free to focus on the audiobook.
