I feel as though 2020 is The Last Year.
The Last Year we shook hands instead of bumped elbows or bowed.
The Last Year we blew out candles on a birthday cake, getting all of our vaporous exhalations all over the food we then served to the friends and loved ones gathered around us.
The Last Year we had parties where friends and loved ones were gathered around us.
The Last Year we could sustain the illusion that the people in charge were competent or cared.
The Last Year for averting the coming climate crisis.
The Last Year for NATO, for Inspectors General, for ethics regulations.
But maybe, just maybe...
Also The Last Year for blind acceptance of exclusionary power structures designed by oligarchs.
Maybe.
Maybe this is The Last Year.

Help keep the words flowing.
The last year I let myself forget to check other people's blogs. I'm not sure I'll keep the RSS reader I'm using right now, but I'll have *something* going so I don't miss out.
