A delightful idea, this Junk Drawer. I enjoyed it thoroughly! My wife told me I should see the video of Lizzo. I'm going to watch it as soon as I finish this comment, I promise! :-)

You are a joy to read, Charlotte.

Thank you for sharing the video of Lizzo and The Flute -- lovely!

Maybe one thread connecting many of the items in your post is the unwillingness of many to be humble and grateful in the face of something much larger -- the carping critics, the performative hurricane anchors (and/or their assignment editors), the corpsman with a convenient take on military discipline. Even a little gratitude would go a long way -- as would a bit of humility -- to say, this [artistry; weather event; public health crisis] is larger than I am and I'm gonna trust the bigness this time.
