I miss the people who died bc of structural & policy failures. Because of racism, ableism, intersectional oppression. I miss their potential, their love for their loved ones, the dreams they wanted to achieve. I know many are celebrating 2020's end. I just miss everyone we lost.
Sorry for a dark thought! It's just one I'm sitting with tonight and tomorrow and as much as possible for always - to have it ground the hopes I have for a future where we stop losing so many.
For a happier thread, here are some of the people I am joyful for in 2020:

And by "we stop losing so many", I mean it's not just about what we can do for each other. There's so much we need elected officials to do to help us keep each other safe. I'm holding onto hope in 2021 that we can get electeds to value lives so much more:
