I just want to take a minute to thank each and every one of you who subscribes to this newsletter. Truly. Attention is our most valuable asset right now, we’re all getting pummeled with posts, texts, emails, breaking news alerts, and about twelve newsletters we forgot we signed up for. So the fact that you choose to spend any part of your day here with me? It means a lot.
And because some of you only know me as a history teacher/person-who-yells-about-history-and-the-news-on-the-internet… I don’t want you worrying that I’m wandering around in permanent “democracy emergency” mode.
So, to restore balance (and your faith that I do sometimes experience joy), here’s a video of me this morning being… extremely not serious. Enjoy. 💖🖤📚
I hope you are all getting some rest and joy as well!
