By Time flies when you’re having fun not that great of a time. 2021 was a difficult year for many of us. Another year of COVID, complicated grief, environmental disasters, political dysfunction, etc, etc. Yet, 2021 also showed evidence of our resilience, of the importance of a politics of care, and the increased need for difficult conversations around death and dying, social justice, and environmentalism.
