It’s the last day of 2020.
This year was so difficult I don’t even know how to write sentences about it that get to the truth of what it means to be a person today. I’m not going to lie to you and tell you things will get better tomorrow on January 1, 2021. I don’t even know what “better” means at this point, and I certainly don’t know when that shift, whatever it looks like, will occur.
What I can provide is a space for us to be virtually together — this open thread — and also the incredibly generous, vulnerable, honest, genius words my co-workers at Autostraddle shared when I asked them to participate in our New Year’s Eve round table.
With the knowledge that we cannot rely on much, this year I asked the Autostraddle team: In a chaotic world, how will you show up for yourself and provide yourself with the consistency you need in 2021? Here’s what they had to say.
I’d love to hear what you have to say about this in the comments, too. Wishing you health, love, and happiness, sincerely sincerely sincerely, today, tonight, tomorrow, and every day.
