Happy 2nd Anniversary, Movie Mavens

Hello, Movie Mavens! Welcome back to the B Movies Blog. Today, we’re popping a letter for our second anniversary into the ol’ VCR. 

I could lie and tell y’all that I was super busy today and didn’t have time to get to our anniversary until this evening…

…but that would only be partially true. 

The truth is, I sat down to write this letter MULTIPLE times, but I just couldn’t figure out what to say. 

I’m so proud of our little blog and to be celebrating our second anniversary. 

Doing B Movies is a dream come true, and I can’t express how thankful I am for all the support you’ve given us these past two years.

But, it also feels weird to be celebrating at a time like this. 

Cue the Bo Burnham

In all seriousness, though, there are so many horrific things going on in the world right now, and I just didn’t know how to approach this anniversary piece.  

Partially because, like I said, it feels weird to celebrate, but partially because I, like most of you, am exhausted. 

I feel like every single time I open my phone there are more terrifying and cruel and terrifying cruel orders being handed down. 

And, yes, I more than understand that we can’t keep fighting if we’re tired, but I just feel so goddamn helpless. 

I do everything I can, but still. 

It’s just a lot. 

So, here’s what I’ll say to you on our second anniversary… 

I hope that we can continue making you laugh through all of the bullshit. 

I hope that you know that we’re a safe space. 

I hope that we can not only lift each other up, but also pick each other up when we’re so tired of fighting. 

That’s what I feel like I need to say: words of hope. 

We’re facing some of the most heinous things imaginable, but we’re going to face them together. 

Happy Anniversary, Movie Mavens.
