You can sidestep the anon avatar terrorists that exist on social media, and whatever far-right person with an anime photo wants you to see by paying a little money to get glossy or matte paper sent to you on a monthly basis.

What needs to find us, and what we need to find, usually finds a way

Real, wide change in this world might require a new 2020, but we can do a little bit better a little at a time
