Provocatively, Tyson Yunkaporta (Sand Talk) was calling out words for things that don’t exist — like “art”. Engaging provocations and invitations from you, as ever!
You asked how to turn this part of the pandemic outward? I have been using the icebreakers of the week to have an ongoing discussion with my friends who I don't get to see anymore.

Need a word for what we go to music for; as per Poet Laureate Joy Harjo who says in an interview with Vanity Fair:
"When we go to music, we're often looking for something we can't even name, but that music or a song will show us."

For trivia's sake - Keith Richard's most iconic guitar (yellow Telecaster that guitar people would use many more adjectives to correctly reference) is named "Micawber"

What would I put in a time capsule? A picture of my car in my driveway. I'm self-employed, or at least I used to be. Now I'm just self-.
