The Art of Distraction: What I’m Watching, Reading, and Listening To This Week

What is time? How long has it been since this election? 5 minutes? 5 years? I am focusing on staying as sane as reasonably possible, and will not be sharing links/anything related to the election because. . . I can’t even go there atm. Instead, here is what I’ve been listening to/reading/watching this week as an escape from the feeling of existential dread.

Me, to this week:

Have you watched?

The Diplomat (Netflix) Keri Russell is so busy as a somewhat reluctant ambassador to England that she does not have time to wash her hair (or is, perhaps, just really devoted to “dirty” styling to combat the elitism of her role?) Idk what’s going on here, and a lot of it makes no sense, but this show is infinitely watchable, not upsetting, and now features Allison Janney.

Murder, She Wrote (Cannot recommend enough as a comfort watch)
