Someone remind me not to go on meaningless tangents and to stop breathing into the mic. Watch me try to make an attempt of pulling meaning from 2020(Morgan Harper Nichols made it look easy), all while battling a severe case of filler words and not keeping my mic steady. I actually muttered the words: "What the fuck am I saying?" while editing this, so gathering meaning from this dumpster fire of a year was much harder than anticipated. Thanks for listening!
