And methinks that if, a whole looong year of global COVID-19 pandemic later (which our myriad privileges may have allowed us to feel…or not), if after all o’ that, and then some, more of us aren’t more “we” people than before, then we have not been […]

Pandemic Peeps: Liz Newman
And on the seventh month…we couldn’t rest easy, because the COVID-19 pandemic’s still going on – but, I think, we have managed to carry on, now, haven’t we.
