Houston fam—how are you holding up? It’s 54° this morning (10/29/25), and while we’re trying to lean into holiday spirit, a lot of us are also navigating the stress of the government shutdown and rising costs. If you need community, you’ve got it here. If you have tips, odd jobs, or resources to share, drop them below. Let’s make this space warm, practical, and gentle—with room for both joy and reality. 🍂💚
