The two biggest things in my life right now? I am starting my MLIS this week. My home country is on the edge of massive violent unrest that may lead to a civil war. (This includes deadly violence and rioting in the town my family lives in.) Runner up: nigh-total social isolation due to a global pandemic. Or maybe the runner up is being in a country where I don't speak the language? Or maybe the runner up is trying to navigate a new form of gender presentation in my online meetings?
