One of the reasons I started writing again more regularly for Top Comments after taking a hiatus was brillig was looking to switch her usual Tuesday night hosting gig for Monday. We were having trouble finding writers to cover nights and since no one else wanted her spot, I decided it was a good time for me to get back to writing. The pandemic was weighing heavily on me and having a regular writing gig might be just the thing to deal with my emotions. One added benefit is Tuesdays tend to be the day most big political events happen on Tuesdays allowing for the occasional “whatever is happening” open thread to be posted.
Another benefit I didn’t anticipate is having brillig write the night before me would sometimes give me inspiration when I seemed to have nothing to say. Tonight was likely going to be one of those nights before i checked to see what had been submitted for inclusion in tonight’s diary.
The number of submissions we are receiving has diminished in recent years and my night rarely has anything submitted. Some days I have time to search but rarely find much highlighted I would include. Tonight I checked the email and saw something submitted from our fearless leader, brillig. It happened to be a comment I wrote for her diary last night. It was then I realized what I wanted to say tonight:
“Thank you, brillig, for occasionally being an inspiration for me”
Hope everyone had a good time celebrating Juneteenth yesterday.
