Just 1 more sleep until Future/Sun launches!
And I’ve got the prelaunch jitters. Re(mind)ing myself that whatever happens is whatever happens and in addition to whatever that whatever is, I’m ALSO on a planet flying through space, and there’s ALSO a giraffe somehwere chewing on some leaves and blinking.
Best case scenario? We sell out all 300 preorders in the first week & raise thousands of dollars to help support The New Georgia Project’s work and that helps tip the balance of power in the senate and we can pressure Biden on bold climate action that might actually pass, instead of 2 years of senate deadlock. Worst case scenario, no one clicks a damn thing and the whole thing is a flop. While that would suck after all the work & love I’ve put into this, does it really matter.
The whole world does Not. Rest. On. My. Shoulders. I’m enjoying creating this thing. And Joy is what really matters. I’m alive. Breathing. And very lucky to have access to the internet, pens, paper, keyboards, video editing tools, let alone a roof over my head. (annnnd wouldn’t it be nice if this exceeds all expectations & the fundraiser goes splendidly well... that’d be extra fine with me.)
In any case, I’m glad my Emma Goldman Dance Hour happens the evening of launch day :-) Cuz I can’t be preoccupied or stressed and dancing at the same time.
