I got to take two friends from synagogue to the Renaissance Festival for the first time and we had a blast, and then left the place to find out that Biden stepped down from the reelection campaign. I have a lot of feelings about that that are irrelevant at this point, but while I do really think Harris is a solid candidate, the uncertainty of all of this is making me really, really nervous. I've already been making plans to volunteer in the upcoming months but last night channeled a bunch of my nervous energy into signing up for postcard campaigns.

I could vomit all my political feelings here but I won't because they're nothing anyone else hasn't already said on the topic.

Aside from that, I've been listening to a lot of audiobooks at work which I want to put on my list here and also write about, so look forward to that hopefully.

The Renaissance Festival is always a good time, but there's something so delightful about getting to accompany someone on their first time there. Colorado's faire is enormous and has so many great performers and vendors, and the experience of seeing it all with someone who has never been anywhere like it before is fantastic. This sounds silly, but it's easy to forget that things like ren faires and conventions and all of that are pretty foreign to a lot of people, and if they're open to the idea it's a completely new world for them.

It's always nice to see people out and about just really doing their thing, fully invested in having a good time.
