What about some practical examples of culture care? Pascal recommends the following for this month:
K. B. Hoyle's review of Season 4 of "Stranger Things" on Netflix. "Stranger Things demonstrates once again how stories and fantasy can help us battle our inner demons—can remind us that the darkness that lives inside is like a monster that wants to consume us, and that even though the choice to go on living can sometimes feel like a sprint against all odds, we don’t do it alone."
