I know a lot of folks hate the “go back to brunch” framing, but I do wish that people could have back some of their time & energy & attention for doing things that bring them joy, for frivolity or silliness or harmless stupidity.

I just spoke with 28yr-old Miamian Alex Garcia. He said he woke up today thinking he was going to vote for Trump BUT he changed his mind at the voting booth. He ended up picking Biden to “go back to normal.” “I just want my Instagram to be about me again, and how good I look”

Feeling this much existential angst about a single election outcome isn't really healthy for anyone. I agree. Doesn't mean the work won't continue or doesn't need to continue, but it'll be great to be doing it with more joy and less trepidation.

A few weeks ago I finally lost it on someone who still thinks “brunch” is a valid insult at a time when none of us has been able to enjoy a meal inside a restaurant in nine months and 1/6 restaurants are going out of business.

You know what? Most of sane America hasn’t eaten inside a restaurant in almost nine months. I think it’s time that we all stop using “brunch” as an insult and recognize that maybe people want to enjoy a goddamn meal with their friends.
