(no subject)

I finally slept last night, and since I'd already decided not to go into the office today, I didn't set an alarm, so I went to bed at 9 and woke up at 10, which is, uh, wow. A lot.

( cutting for covid-19 news, nothing dramatic or major )

I'm trying to knock together a hopepunk rec list for the geek blog I write for occasionally, for while we're all at home and stressed. I think I'm going to have to first define what I mean, because I keep seeing things that say it's all sunny and optimistic stuff, but that's not what I'm talking about (and I don't think that's what it meant originally.) Sunny and optimisic is for escapism, which is also a perfectly valid option, but right now, I need something that says the point of it all is to keep fighting the good fight -- the Hobbits, keeping on keeping on in the middle of war and horror; the soul squad of The Good Place, fighting on because that's what's right; so much of Terry Pratchett's work; The Expanse; all of the Treks...

I'm not going to be able to rec fic there, but I might do that here.

Anyway, stay safe and take care of yourself and your community, ♥
