We changed the world here. Really. Friends were made. Loves found. Careers advanced. Ideas explored. Information shared. News broke here. Shoulders were cried on. Hugs were exchanged. Sometimes only online, sometimes that was enough, but often what started here became very real.

So fucking wrong. Data from the past year is not data on "working from home". It's data about being forced to work in a home-based crisis center on short notice with little or no prep for many, during a series of social and political crises and a pandemic.
