In my late 20s my wife left me and my best friend took his own life. I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, and I lost 40 pounds due to stress. I started going to therapy twice a week and I began a blog called 1000 Awesome Things to try and cheer myself up. 1/

I've decided to write another 1000 during the pandemic.
I will post them at 12:01am on socials and right here over email:
What's something you're finding awesome during the pandemic?

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is trending in Canada.
There is a huge push to convert the temporary $2k / month payments to those out of work into UBI for all. (As I understand it.)
For those of us who UBI is new to what do you recommend reading? Articles? Links? Books?
Thanks!

In Norway, Prime Minister Erna Solberg just held a press conference specifically for children.
For half an hour, she and her team answered questions submitted by kids across the country.
She told them it was normal to be scared but that everything would be okay.
