Ed Suominen<p>There is a Rökysopp song, “Melody A.M.” that gave me a twinge of sad nostalgia. Not the tune, but the end, where it switches to a recording of a guy calling his friend and telling him some “good frequencies” he’s been messing around with in his DSP music machine. He gets to 400 kHZ and his friend says, “Four hundred!” Yeah. “I’m coming over.” “Do that.” “I’ll be there in a sec.”</p><p>Just being able to call a friend and have him come over, with no concern about <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/Covid" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Covid</span></a> — about being infected by <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/virus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>virus</span></a> that has given millions a life of disability and misery and continues to do so whether you choose to believe it or not. And still having such friends, five years into a <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/pandemic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pandemic</span></a> that has changed people’s brains and mass-delusional behavior.</p><p>It’s a lot.

For me, the lulls in between waves are some of the hardest of times.</p><p>And yet, we persist. We don’t want this virus in our bodies if we can help it, ever.</p>
