    march was psychically painful (like waiting for a bad storm to make landfall). but...april is likely going to be much harder

    People who are relieved that March is finally over are like the people who were glad 2019 was finally over.

    We can't treat everyone like arguing w/ our parents but we can remember ppl don't like to feel attacked or dumb. And we could all spend more time thinking about hardened identities and how to best break through when trying to knock down bad info
