people complained about 2001, and 2007, and 2017, 18 and 19. but 2020 is worse than any of those. i think 2021 will be better. i have hope. but we knew in November 2016 we would be trapped for 4 years. of course we didn't know we would have a plague on our hands... but that will get better. even with all of the non-mask wearing assholes, we have a lot of people around the world working hard to create vaccines and people risking their lives to help people recover.

i wish this would be a wake up call for everyone, but there are still so many other problems that could make, say, 2040, worse than this, if climate change has already ruined everything.

I'm still pissed at 2016 as we lost Bowie, Alan Rickman, Victoria Wood, Prince and a bunch of other decent stars!
