This. *This*. THIIIIS...

...might explain why one of my reactions to the coronavirus crisis has been elation. [Fuck. There's so much suffering. I'm ashamed to admit it.]

It's not as if I'm even taking advantage of that many of the newly online opportunities. But I feel like I have the option. I feel like the rest of you humans opened a door I can walk through, a door I used to have to laboriously pick the lock of. Maybe you didn't open it *for* me, but it's open now, and that changes something in my core.

I've been feeling this too -- not quite the same flavour, but I've definitely been noticing that I'm getting more social than normal.
