i’ve been wearing sunscreen almost every day for a decade at this point and it’s genuinely an essential for me, even if i’m not spending any or much time outside. i’ve tried a LOT of sunscreens and my go-to’s always end up being korean sunscreens (the isntree hyaluronic acid water sun gel and beauty of joseon relief sun aqua-fresh sunscreen are my all time favorites).

not Korean:
Supergoop Play (they sell a huge bottle of this with a pump that is great value for the money).
Mad Hippie Ultra Sheer Body SPF. This one is 100% mineral based, no white cast, clean ingredients, and wears so glowy.

sunscreen all year round, no matter the season. can't go out during the day without it. i love japanese sunscreens – fave brands: skin aqua, canmake, nivea japan. bioré's good too, but they don't have any fragrance-free option (i prefer skincare without fragrance).
other sun protective stuff i can't live without: sunglasses, hat, jacket, umbrella. call me extra or paranoid, but skin cancer is no joke. and where i live the uv index gets extreme

libraries are genuinely so cool like can you imagine the government creating public libraries today?????? no! they fucking hate the idea of public goods and services that people can access for FREE

it’s a struggle to try and stay positive (read: not fall into a deep pit of despair and general hopelessness) throughout all of this. i work in a public library in a purple state that has thankfully yet to see massive pushback from organizations trying to censor resources in public and school libraries, but that may change at any moment. i don’t know if the federal funding freeze will have any impact on public library funding and what that means for me going forward. more importantly, what that would mean for the people who rely on the library. it’s too easy to get sucked into just… general malaise about our current situation.
it certainly doesn’t help that i’ve been sick with the flu for the past three days either.
i recently read anxious people by fredrik backman for a book club i facilitate at my library and there’s a passage towards the end that i haven’t been able to stop thinking about since i finished the book:
“The truth. There isn't any. All we've managed to find out about the boundaries of the universe is that it hasn't got any, and all we know about God is that we don't know anything. So the only thing a mom who was a priest demanded of her family was simple: that we do our best.
We plant an apple tree today, even if we know the world is going to be destroyed tomorrow.”
