Thanks to your support, we donate to a new charity every week.

And this week we are sending some help to World Central Kitchen at WCK.org.

World Central Kitchen provides meals in response to humanitarian, climate and community crises.

They build resilient food systems with locally-led solutions.

Now your brain has like a truck with a brick on the gas pedal.

It goes even when no one is there to steer it.

Trying to stop thinking.

It doesn't work.

It'll probably just frustrate you.
