DON'T GO OUT

Please.

Just don’t.

I’m putting this placeholder post in here now, and we’ll see if I get a chance to change it between now and the 31st.

I have every intention of coming back here and writing something moving and thrilling that makes you totally reconceptualize your view point and gives you the munition you need to explain to everyone else in your life why you’re staying home as much as possible — and not only that — but something SO MAGICAL it CONVINCES THEM TOO to stay home, like some ‘I clap for fairies!’ fever dream that flows outwards from all of our well-meaning hearts to somehow inspire and heal our nation and get everyone who is currently a dickwad to stay home and not breathe on anyone else in the new year.

I want to water your crops and help you regrow your field of fucks that has so long been barren. I want to make your skin glow, I want your tiktoks to go viral, I want you to feel whole and well and loved.

Barring my abilities to make any of those things happen though, the only thing I can control or give to you is this:

If you’re making sacrifices right now, you’re not alone, and your efforts haven’t been forgotten.

I appreciate you. Thank you for believing in me and what I’m telling you from the hospital. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not making my job harder.

This year has to get easier, it just has to. For all of us.

We just have to make it long enough to see it is all.

We can do it.

The rest of the world, I dunno about them, and I don’t trust their motives.

But if you signed up to read this, you signed up for a reason, because you cared about learning, and your health, and my health, and others.

We’re gonna get through this and we’re gonna get out on the other side, together.
