113. Happy New Year to you too, malaise

2021 can only be better than 2020, at least on my part. Last year started with caring for my dying sister, and we just managed to hold her funeral with not too many restrictions before we went into lockdown in March. It never got better from that. The only good thing is that none in my family have gotten covid (we're in Norway, most of us, and those who are in the US are in a Blue state).

As for my post, as a middle-aged white woman (where did the years go - I was in my 20s when I started posting on DU) I learned a thing or two from brilliant members of the African American Group, most of whom where chased from DU because they refused to support a certain Presidential candidate who never managed to get the support of the base of the Democratic Party. I follow many of them on twitter, these days, and am still learning a lot from them. Vote like Black women is the best advice ever given on Al Gore's internet, and the second is to follow and read what Black women write as well.
