Diary of a Plague Month (Patreon)

Hey, everyone.

Sooo...what’s up with you?

JK we all know what’s up with all of us. We are heading into uncharted territory, personally and economically and in all ways -ally. Most of us are drawing into our respective snail shells, attempting to weather this as best we can. I’m no different, except that we’ve gotten stuck in Australia in the middle of this. We fly home tomorrow and hope that we can get through two trans-continental flights, a layover, and a bus ride with a baby and without touching another human, so that we can bunker down as islanders are really quite good at doing. Assuming anything is left on shop shelves by then. *ironic laugh-cry*

I’ll finish a book. I’ll stream All the Things. I’ll be posting rewards and extras as much as I can so watch this space, for it will be full of riches in this strange liminal downtime. We’ll be okay...if we can get there.

In the meantime, I want to thank all of you for your support and love over these last years, and express that goddammit you’re the best please keep yourself safe. Once I can get home I’m planning a little fiction project to keep you company here on Patreon while you stay in the Great Indoors. We who grew up on the internet know a lot about social distancing, and how to distance in life without distancing in the heart.

We’ll get through to the other side. We look after each other. Even if our society doesn’t know how to, we netfolk do.

Life is beautiful and life is stupid. We’re deep in the stupid now. Let’s find the beautiful in each other. Life is waiting for us on the other side of spring.

I love you all. Be well. If you are well, I am well, as those old Roman layabouts used to say.
