9. All your writings are worthwhile, but this one particularly struck a chord with me.

As much as I appreciate the sez.us community, DU has been a "home" for me since 2004. Back then it was more of an organizing hub -- I met several of my fellow DUers in D.C. in efforts like lobbying to object to the Ohio electors or filibuster Alito. The character of the community has changed over the decades, but I always find things that give me strength, hope, and resolve.
