I have friends who survived the campaign cycle by following every nauseating twist —saturation therapy — and other friends who tuned out completely. I tried to preserve my sanity by following at a distance and by reading a lot, especially Octavia Butler (as most of you will have already noticed).
I’ve been working like crazy to get out the vote for months. I sat down for a moment to take a break and received this text. It got me to stand up and gave me energy to close strong. I’m practicing hope, at least for the next few hours, the next few days, the next few years, the rest of life.

A thousand years? Sounds about right.
