My New Year's resolutions

I hope that we can collectively grow as a community this year. Feel free to share your goals in the comments below
Posted by Fred Steiner on Friday, January 8, 2021

Note: The Icon intended to post this on Dec. 31, but our Webfaction host site technical issues put us behind.
2020 has been a chaotic year to say the least.

The majority of us are relieved that it is coming to a close. Obviously, the problems of 2020 are not gone. The pandemic is still here, and the protests during the summer did not cure our country of racism. However, I think that things are looking hopeful. 2020 has been painful, but I think that we are headed in the right direction.
