When you build your home on social media, there's a feeling of impermanence. An awareness that things can end at any moment. An algorithm might change. Or people might move on to newer, or brighter, or shinier things. So I've tried to prepare myself for that. With every story that hits just right, and reaches millions of people, and causes them to feel something, I try to remind myself that all of this is a massive privilege. And I should never take it for granted, because it can disappear at any moment. But I've been telling myself that for ten years. And for ten years you've kept showing up: for the stories, the series, the fundraisers, and the events. You've had patience with my failed artistic experiments, and you've supported my successful ones. And in the middle of a pandemic, and an election, and a hundred other things, you've once again helped a HONY book become a #1 NYT Bestseller. So thank you for that. And thank you for everything.
