2021 begins today, and while the new year is supposed to be about casting aside the bad things to focus on a bright future, it hardly feels that way in the midst of a global pandemic. But, writing these has been a tradition since 2013, and this doesn’t seem like a good year to break with any traditions.
Keeping with the theme, the top post here was Working From Home, written at the start of the lockdowns in the United States. I’ve been working from home for 10 years, and now most of us are, so I hope folks found it useful.
A quick list of favorites this year, I hope you enjoy them too:
- Movie: Starcrash
- TV: Kamen Rider Kuuga
- Game: Animal Crossing: New Horizons
- Comics: Ascender
- Book: Belle Révolte
This year especially, we’ll need more people sharing their voices and experiences as we navigate our lives during this pandemic, so please considering launching your own site with WordPress (and Jetpack) or WordPress.com, or start posting again if you already have one! If shorted content is your thing, take Tumblr for a spin. I didn’t think I was going to do much there, but now it’s a big part of my online presence.
If we work together and have empathy for not only one another, but also for those we lost along the way, we might just make it through 2021.
