As 2021, aka the year from hell, explodes in its own face, it is easier to forget about all this year’s shit-on-a-stick than to remember it and develop PTSD. But, let me help you close this book right: delta, lockdowns, vaccines, crypto, inflation, shipping crisis, NFTs, vaccines, omicron, and booster (=more vaccines).

Now that I’ve recapped 2021, let’s properly move on with our lives just as Kim Kardashian is doing. But without the lawyers and custody battle.

And if we can’t move on with our social lives, let’s move on when on Medium.

For me, Medium has been a place once removed from the nightmares of 2021.

As we social distance IRL, we can engage with our Medium contacts URL.

It seems the more we distrust the mainstream media, the more we have faith in our Medium followers' stories, providing a much-needed distraction from Coronalandia.

As we bring in the new year, here are my predictions for 2022 Medium headlines that go viral. I know, I know. I should really set up a Ko-fi account so that when my predictions catch fire, we can settle this bet easily without a rock-paper-scissors match.

  1. How Uncertain Job Uncertainty Certainly Is
  2. When You Learn to Only Expect the Unexpected
  3. Maintaining Mental Health in Mental Times
  4. Bringing Pyjamas into the Office Dress Code
  5. How to Move Your Entire Social Life on Social Media
  6. How to Treat Scientific Data Like Science Fiction
  7. Discussing Authenticity is Inherently Unauthentic
  8. How a UFO Can Help Your SEO
  9. How to Tip-toe Around Crypto
  10. Boosting Your Way Through Your Booster Blues

Happy holidays. And looking forward to reading your 2022 stories.

Thank you for reading, clapping, and following my work.
