i go to breakfast once a week at our local old-school diner at 6am with him and a whole crew of other characters. he's a retired desert tortoise data collecter (got paid to walk in the rural california drylands all may) and he turned 70 last year. he's one of the only people who will ALWAYS call me out on my shit, and as someone who has trouble reading people, that's pretty nice :)

have met a lot of cool artists and idiots lately by occasionally dropping the customer service voice and just talking to the cool freaks coming in for their daily coffee

They always visit me at work and chat with me weekly and bring me snacks and when they work at their bars they feed me alcohol and itβs great. very trustworthy person. 10/10 human.

went to my favourite bar and ended up chatting with my favourite bartender for a while. the language barrier didn't feel like an issue anymore. the bar ran out of food but he said we are more than welcome to just get food from elsewhere and eat at the bar even after we finished our drinks. felt like I'm making connections and am being accepted as a local in the city.
also realised it was his birthday yesterday while my friend and i were leaving, so we wished him, but we're going back tomorrow with a cake for him cause he's always the sweetest :)

wanna really kick it old school? buy some physical media simply based on cover art/general chatter you've heard. helps if you do this at a thrift store so you're not totally screwed over. you can go off internet chatter, but once in a while try to find something completely random. it can be really fun.

everyone is talking about activism, but imo the best way to destroy the system is from within. if you live in a small town like me, joining a municipal or county board can be the thing that makes actual change, not just protests. those are good too tho.
