How political to get in a grad school email

So this is a really specific question and I know the answer will be "it depends" but...

I'm drafting emails for grad school restoration labs. I strongly feel that restoration is political, specifically in the area I'd like to work in where industry was allowed to do whatever it wanted and now people are suffering the environmental impacts with little to no government assistance. I'm also getting an anthropology minor so my caring about the people and cultural side of restoration shows in my degree. I don't want to come off too strong, but I do want to come off as passionate and informed! Where's the balance?

Museum of Us in San Diego

I'm visiting SD soon and was curious about how ethical the Museum of Us is and if it's worth visiting. It looks like they only recently repatriated a mummified person which concerns me. Have they improved since?

▲ 2 r/Drag

Hi!

I'm in the prep phase of starting drag (wrestling with perfectionism and stage fright that keeps me from Just Starting Already) and I have a couple numbers in mind to slower / dramatic songs.

Should I shy away from something more somber for a bar performance? Is being funny or having a more recognizable song better to start with, or should I not give a damn?

Disclaimer that I know the password for this zip file, but I can't figure out how to enter it.

When I try to unzip the file Windows says "support for the encrypted archive 'my_file' is currently unavailable".

Sorry if this has been answered before, any post I find is someone trying to bypass a password which isn't my issue!
