It's so much easier to rec a sweet, alluring, POSITIVE video than it is to rec a post about the horrors we're all seeing all around us. It's HARD to read about all the Living While Black episodes, and other atrocities that the Trump demon has unleashed upon the nation.

Please forgive us for not responding as you hope we would -- but never, ever imagine it means that we care less. The truth, I believe, is that we care more, but feel somewhat hopeless in the face of it and powerless too. Rec'ing doesn't fix those feelings.

But I'll make it my business to do better.

I hope you don't move on.
