How are you all holding up, DU friends? [View all]

I have to confess that the past months are trying my resolve. It bends my mood. It is a constant burden, a weight, a cloud of impending doom brought on by so much exposed willful ignorance desire to harm people.

by the way, I've never been so thankful to have a like-minded haven in which to read and share....DU. and YOU.
