This morning I announced that The Billfold would stop publishing new articles after February 20.

I've known this would happen for a while, long enough for me to process the loss and make plans for the future.

But breaking the news is still a very hard thing to do. (I mean, why would I write "still?" Telling someone that something they cared about is going to end is always hard.)

I'm at the point where I see The Billfold's ending as a new beginning, and I did my best in the shutdown announcement to communicate that possibility to Billfold readers.

But they haven't had the chance to process the loss yet.

So, Billfolders, know that I'm thinking of you and feeling for you today. ❤️
