The holiday season has officially begun now that the tree in Rockefeller Center has been lit. If you are gathering with loved ones this season, please be safe (masked, vaccinated, etc.) as we are still in the midst of a deadly pandemic. If you do not feel comfortable gathering for any reason, do not allow others to guilt you into doing so. Enjoy this month in whatever ways are most meaningful for you.
CAVEAT: If going along with things is necessary for you to survive, do what you must in order to survive one more day closer to the day you can be free. May your freedom come swiftly.
