Wow, can you believe that the cursed year 2020 is more than halfway over? I’m beginning to worry it will just start over again on January 1st, like Groundhog’s Day, but for a whole 365 days. I will definitely live those first couple of months differently, I’ll tell you that much.
Just kidding, 2021 will still be starting with social distancing and masks. They’re gonna be in style for a looonnnng time. But not forever! The story of quarantine and pandemic is a long one, and they do eventually end. We know that because of history and because of how frequently they’re a plot device on TV shows.
There’s a new meme circulating on Twitter called “2020 as told by” that takes screenshots from popular shows that seem to cover all of the main events of 2020, including coronavirus, hoarding, and hiding out in isolation. Popular themes.
Another version just takes the faces of people and posts them under their corresponding month, starting with a shining smiling face in January and getting over to a dead-eyed grimace by September.
We will smile again, if the prescient storytellers of Parks & Recreation have it right. Maybe even while reading these memes:
