Please seek some help. I don't know what kind of help is available for you. I know that here in NY with the shutdown, there have been a lot of mental health therapists who have become more readily available with free access for students AND TEACHERS. Get the help you deserve. Sometimes it's talking...

Can’t sleep. Bad thoughts swirling in my head.

Not sure which is cause and which is effect.

Not having a good day, and it's only 10:15.

Boris Johnson is in the ICU.

Found out yesterday that the mother of my childhood best friend broke of her friendship with my parents because she found out my child is transgender. Honestly, she threw away a friendship of 45-50 years over something my parents had no control over. Who the fuck does that? That is completely fucke...

The distance learning process is a huge pain in the ass so far because lots of people (teachers, students, and parents) don't know what they're doing. My kids' school district is one of the best in the state, but they're still struggling. The district I teach in is rather inept and corrupt, so it's ...

First distance learning training today (more than 2 weeks into the shut down). Not implementing it until mid-April.

Apparently, saying that Trump bears some responsibility for coronavirus deaths because of his lack of preparation is the worst thing a politician has ever said . Apparently Graham doesn't remember when Republicans accused the Clintons of having their close friend murdered. Or when they accused Clint...

"A friend of ours keeps his wife’s faults in perspective by taping a message to his bathroom mirror: You’re no bargain either." Can you imagine the warm fuzzies you'd feel if you saw that message taped to your partner's mirror and had the misfortune to investigate it further? As a happine...

My kids' school district is passing out chromebooks to students who don't have tech at home. I'm not sure if the district I work for will do anything like that.

Maryland extended school closings until April 24.

Virginia schools are done for the year.

Happy birthday!

Damn. Sorry, Ron.

There are a lot of people who have much bigger problems than me, so I try to count myself lucky and keep perspective. But my fucked up brain keeps spewing forth the same petty adolescent bullshit, often popping up out of nowhere. So tonight my otherwise pleasant evening was swamped by memories and p...

I’m about to go to the grocery store. I hope it’s not too much of a “Lord of the Flies” situation.

That is a great response. I'm not sure what my school district is doing.

Maryland public schools are closing for 2 weeks starting Monday.

I don't know what we'll do if they close schools. It's county policy that we can't require students to do work on the internet at home--we have a lot of poor families, some of whom don't have internet access.
