i'm honestly not sure if i'll get to graduate this semester, the university is shut down until the end of march but i feel like they're gonna extend that. maybe i'll be able to present my thesis remotely from my bedroom, jacket and tie up top and nothing below. feel like that'd increase my power

no one wants to come out and admit it but the rumbling behind the scenes is that the 2019-20 k-12 school year is just over. it only had three months left anyway and 2 of those at least are gonna be shot. it's theoretically a bit different for post-secondary because college students at least in theory can sit through an online course but idk. idk

i wonder if it's going to affect school in the fall too. a vaccine is probably at least six months away, more likely a year to 18 months

I think this is the new normal and wouldn't even count on things being better in a permanent way in autumn I think our best bet is some kind of effective treatment regimen we can ramp up until there's a vaccine

There might never be a vaccine and we need to act like there wont ever be one.

There might never be a vaccine and we need to act like there wont ever be one. i've been sore and had a sporadic headache for the last few days and idk if it's just the stress and sitting around on my rear end or if i've got the plague and am one of those (nearly) asymptomatic carriers CLASS 2 PERVERSION posted:yeah this is really true. I swear I used to be able to go weeks without human contact but now I can't do 48 hours same. if you'd told me in seventh grade that when i grew up i would need to be around people to stay happy i would have said you were insane. but after years of teaching and just general maturity, yeah, i go stir crazy if i sit around at home for more than a weekend. summer vacation can be surprisingly rough Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 00:18 on Mar 18, 2020 |
