used to think it terribly silly (and kinda funny) when fantasy or sci-fi stories would have people refer to major recent historical events as The Flood or The Incident or The Revolution, and im sure historians fucking hate that because it's not helpful or descriptive, but we sure do be calling it The Pandemic
Also the new linguistic quirk of just saying “it was 2020” as like. The full end of a story. You say “it was 2020” and everyone knows what you mean.
“I was going to get my masters degree but then it was 2020, so yeah”
“I was cast in a play and then it was 2020”
“my boyfriend proposed but then it was 2020”
(Was about to put this in the tags but then it was too good for tags)
"My baby was born in 2020, and then (two weeks later to be precise), it was 2020."
Actual truth from my actual life, I feel like I ought to use this more.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
