2020: If everybody buys enough stamps, Democracy will survive long enough to reach a vaccine for this deadly virus and we can see a movie again.
Just buying stamps won't do it though. Lots of info here: https://twitter.com/hashtag/SaveTheUSPS?src=hashtag_click

(We actually had a lovely day, but the world just keeps getting crazier. I will probably say something about A level results at some point, for now I'm still just staring in abject horror at a government that managed to use 'The computer says no' to enforce privilege.)

I have a feeling we'll need to hit rock bottom (in whatever way that will manifest itself) before we can begin to climb back out.
God, I wish 2020 were over. The only thing about wishing that, of course, is the near-certain knowledge that 2021 could well be even worse.
Aye. We have Brexit on the horizon and they are steering straight towards that cliff.

I'd say same here, except work is CRAZY BUSY so I'm mostly too tired to write.

And re Brexit then... IDK. Part of me has this feeling we simply have to break things completely in order for people to wake up? Although that's sort of what's happening in the US and lots of people are just becoming more entrenched, so that might not be right either.
*sigh*
In any case, I'm holding onto my EU passport.
