What a strange time to be alive. When was the last time your week passed without a worry or crisis? I feel like there was a window for this (for white folk) some time in the 50s, and the rest of history has been a wash of fear, punctuated by slowly increasing downtime in which fear is traded for lingering anxiety that gets medicated away through self-destructive habits. So, enjoy your two and half days of anxious intoxication. See you Monday.
