Well done. I had a similarly mixed bag of a year and am ready to turn the page. I especially appreciate what you said about “fact” and “truth” and have long had a definition that is similar. Glad to see your writing here and wish you all the best in the year ahead.

Thanks, Glenn. I think a lot about the distinctions between truth and fact (and all those gradations between them) and felt a need to write about them for the new year.

I’m going to try to write here a little more again. I’ve generally found it hard to commit to sharing anywhere right now (aside from occasionally texting friends the photos I’ve taken that I love).

Happy new year!

I love how you ended this with so much positivity and a lyric from Craig Finn🥰

I agree, we generally all want the same things- can't we all just get along??

I thought you’d catch the Craig Finn reference! I think it’s going to be hard to get along because it’s so often easier to see the differences (and reasons) that govern belonging and not-belonging
