hi! it’s getting lonely being careful when most ppl aren’t anymore, isn’t it?

i have never watched strictly come dancing but i went through a period years ago where i was obsessed with all forms of So You Think You Can Dance.

the last time i watched the west wing was in 2016 before trump was elected. it’s felt like maybe watching it since would be like ribbing salt in the wound?

Yes! Well, it has been for over a year. I keep hoping 'being careful' will mean something different after this winter and my own situation changes, but so many have moved on to pretending it never happened!

Strictly = autumn/winter for me, and is interesting as a mass fannish experience. FWIW, I started rewatching The West Wing in early 2021, but then again, the UK has had three Prime Ministers since I've been rewatching season 4.
