Right now is a lot. We are living through a moment in time that will be forever etched in the history books.

You are a part of that history.

Right now.

YOU.

Books will be written about this moment and your participation in it.

Your inclusion, your oppression, your resilience, and your frailty.

> Please wear a mask. I have the good fortune of being taken care of by nurses whose clinics were closed for the three months that COVID-19 ravaged New York City. They wore PPE while working in ICUs all over the city. And now wear masks. Without face shields. Their clinics are open again. If you need more evidence that face coverings are effective, I’m not sure what to say. Driving through Manhattan? It’s a sea of humans wearing masks, taking this very serious illness very seriously.

Please do the same.

> Black Lives Matter. Black oppression is real. Living in a Black body should not be a death sentence. It is one. And those of us with the privilege of just noticing how. bad. it. is. need to pay attention. Need to recognize privilege as fact, not fiction. Need to stop NOT having conversations about reality. And do anything, everything we can to demonstrate that we are going to do our part to change the trajectory of history in the direction of equity.

> Register to vote.

Get your tush to the polls, if you can do so safely. I’m voting from home. It all counts.

VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.

2020 has been a lot. It’s not over.

We need all of you, right now.
Your earth suit being the least of it.
