1. Tie a helium balloon to chair. This is stupid on many levels. The chair won’t fly, there’s a helium shortage and if the chair did fly, the balloon would pose a threat to wildlife. Creepy crawlies get tangled up in them or mistake them for food and slowly suffocate.
2. Ok. That was stupid. Pop the balloon with a pin, stuff the deflated balloon in your pocket and forget about it. Throw the jeans in the wash and marvel at the consequences to your tee shirts and socks.
3. Get in a debate with a Trump supporter. They are trapped in the same rubber room as you with daily assaults on the Constitution and rule of law. They think fascism is just a strong brand of patriotism.
4. Read an online article about politics especially if it has to do with transgender people. Be sure to read every reply.
5. Go back and read all the replies again. Pick the one that pisses you off the most. Open a dialogue and wind up insulting each other until you block them.
6. Feel guilty and unblock them. In fact, unblock everyone on the list.
7. Write an article for Medium titled, “Do one stupid thing every day to give yourself something to write about.”
