Weekend self-care open thread: Gallows songs

Well. Depending on the Mad King's whims, we may be striking Iran this weekend. But, keep on believing that we're not on the eve of destruction.  But if that's all there is, then we may as well dance. Strap in, everybody. The reports of the end of history have been exaggerated. As always, dear friends, be ever kind, gentle, and joyful with yourselves and those around you. Postscript By the way. Alas, Babylon  is a wonderful book about a post-apocalyptic America which I highly recommend.
