Reply to LPT: Moving? Ask your friends who work in retail/restaurants/bars if you can come by their work to get free boxes. You're likely doing them a favor so they don't have to break them down. by marj0rine
Just make sure you actually go and pick them up at the agreed upon time, otherwise it makes extra work for them. But those places constantly have boxes coming in and flattened cardboard going out :)

Reply to LPT request: Can anyone give me a couple ideas or things to try, that might alleviate some of the guilt and shame I (28F) feel? by magdeedz
This may sound a bit silly, but there are some movies that have helped me to realize that we change over time. For me, the Korean movie called SPRING, SUMMER,FALL, WINTER, AND SPRING helped me to realize that our life had chapters and lessons learned and how we can grow and adapt and learn and change. Maybe it can help you too. Another movie that does something similar is called SYNECDOCHE,NEW YORK. It's kind of a bizarre movie, but it sort of helps you to remove yourself from yourself and see things from outside of your own eyes and experience, if that makes sense(it probably doesn't) also. If you have time to sit and listen to a nice song/speech remix, the song EVERYBODY'S FREE by BAZ LUHRMAN helps me to realize that life is long and interesting and that things happen. We can't change the past, and maybe can't fully control the present and future, but we can have some control over how we feel, and it can just take some micro adjustments or micro readjustment to change from feeling bad to better or even good. Best of luck to you:)

Reply to I spent a year preparing for a reporting trip from Senegal to Morocco to Spain. My team and I set out to connect three of the biggest stories of our time: climate change, global migration, and the rise of far-right political leaders. Now that we’re back, AMA! by npr
No questions, just a fan and always enjoyed listening to you on WAMU in DC. Keep up the good work and credible news stories and awareness. Looking forward to others questions and answers:)

New York feels awesome and it is very different from all other cities in America. And easy to get around and lots of different vibes and experiences and really good food

I used to love going to Litteris and getting subs and a pound or 2 of sliced prosciutto. Didn't it close down ?

Have been outside of DC/USA for a few years and thus made me hungry for their Italian sub and a bagel sandwich 😋

I guess it would depend on which neighborhood of Richmond. I'm from DC but went to college at VCU. Richmond does have a really nice feel. Seems like every block has a little store or business or a little neighborhood park

Reply to TIL that the USA in 1856 enacted a law that allowed any USA citizen to take over an island if the island was full of bird shit....and unoccupied. by LMonteSlim
There's an interesting YouTube video on this by Johnny Harris. Apparently it was done to encourage guano/bird poop collection to help with fertilizer for farms.
