Shitters! Hi! Writing to you all genuinely makes me so happy and so excited, which is why I always start this out the same way, but I’ll be honest with you—it’s a tough balance when the state of the world is decidedly less happy. I hope you’re all holding up and taking care of yourselves, I hope you’re all vaxxed and/or getting there, and I hope you are not in the throes of an existential crisis (though if you are, we can wait it out together).
