I Spent The Weekend Finishing Assembling My Reading Corner, So If I Go Off Radar, You Know Where To Check First.
’Tis the end of March, and I was reminded this weekend of the panic I felt about a year ago when I read that we might be stuck inside until the end of June. I remember the dread of realizing I wouldn’t be able to be in the same room as my friends and loved ones for a couple of months (HA), the weight of the change we were all about to endure! Now, and I really should write about how profound a shift I’ve had, I very much prefer my own company AND fear having to enter public, go into an office, make in-person small talk, put on real pants without stretch. What a difference a socially-distanced year makes.
TO THE INTERNET!
Hey, you know what’s (not at all in the slightest) cool? Signing a terrible voter suppression law under a painting of a plantation! Hey Gov. Kemp, a bit on the nose, don’t you think? LOLOLOLOLOL everything is awful. (The Philadelphia Inquirer)
This is straight up bonkers: Trump’s secret sit-down with Ohio candidates turns into ‘Hunger Games’ (POLITICO). And we’ve all given up on the dreams of a post-insurrection repair of the GOP, yes? Great, just confirming.

And per above, if providing free things to vaccinated people drives up vax rates amongst the shot skeptics, I am all in favor of all of the free things possible. And before people get preachy about the Krispy Kreme donut giveaway, I would like to remind them that a) the damage of COVID is worse than the damage of a donut and b) QUIT BEING A BUZZKILL, NARCS. (NYT/WaPo)
And finally, Rolling Stone out there doing the (dark) lord’s work: We Asked Satanists What They Think of the New Lil Nas X Video.
That’s it, that’s all. Be kind to yourself, and keep wearing those masks!
