COVID-19

First, my heart goes out to all of those who have loved ones that have passed and/or are currently battling the Coronavirus, around the world and I pray for strength, protection, wisdom and knowledge for medical staff and essential works at restaurants, pharmacies, gas stations and other business that are doing their part to keep everyone else supported (again) around the world.

Although this pandemic is just now affecting America in a major way (as of March), it’s important to remember that literally everyone around the world is also experiencing the same thing. I know that might feel overwhelming (and it’s okay to feel that way) but it is that fact that gives me some perspective. Oftentimes during any one lifetime, when we as individuals, experience our own personal tragedies and losses and we feel alone. We feel like because something is happening to us personally, nobody could ever possibly understand what we are going through, even if our situation is similar to others. When it’s a challenging situation in our own world we feel alone. However, I take solace in the fact that because everyone around the world is experiencing the same thing, I know for a fact that I am not alone. I hope in some way that brings you comfort as well.

Some of you might be physically alone because of your living situation and as someone that generally lives alone (except now, as I have been with my mom before our official NY/NJ lock down started) I know what it is like to bear the burden of all of your thoughts, feelings, financial needs and everything in between, solely by yourself. If that is you, I hope you are able to tap into a network of friends, family, clergy, mental health professionals, neighbors or anyone that can provide a healthy mental reprieve. Living alone is a choice but this pandemic is no one’s choice. It is a thing that has been forced upon us and even the most INTRO of introverts can feel overwhelmed by having the choice to physically interact with others taken away.

Wow. For a site that primarily showcases comedy, this is getting heavy…..but I think that’s okay. Real comedians are heavy people disguised in the lightness of humor. Speaking of humor, one thing that I have found very funny being back in the suburbs of NJ, is me walking across the street to get away from white people (well really anyone) when I go for walks. After decades, nay centuries, of them scurrying across the street from us to “feel safe”, they now know how it feels for someone to walk away from them.

Social distancing aside, whatever your reason is for coming to this site, I hope that it can provide a fun diversion a the very least. God Bless. - Michelle Francesca Thomas

Creative Things Are In The Works….

Ideas are percolating and new things are coming.

Disclaimer: The above statement is just to peak your interest. However Kutch has admitted that he does have trouble identifying faces, according to his interview on WTF, so the statement stands.
