I have an old friend who truly is a poet. I keep looking for my gift and yet, all I find is teaching the appreciation of others. Is that enough?
M. Fitzgibbons
The machinations of mind are not my business
Nor the vainglorious
Apostates of time
Lest we digress
Into the deep blue
Inklings of character assassination
May you be blessed by the very thought
Of our President
And his
Pulchritudinous life.

@Madken65 If I was 4 years older I wouldn’t be allowed to work at all (I am 61.) However that is not my goal either. If I got an exemption from my doctor I would probably never be able to get my beloved school and students back. Trying not to make that sacrifice it would break my heart 💔.
@mcfate The rallies feed the monster and the monster feeds the rallies. If I was a writer, I would write a season of “Stranger Things” or Penny Dreadful or American Horror Story based on this premise.
@evamarie How does “social distancing” work in this profession?
Been fighting a battle for my students, for their families, for my family and yes for me. We do not have what we need to open up & be safe. Yes, students generally learn best in person but beyond that students learn best when they are not sick, not in mourning. Students learn best when they are alive. Student’s learning is the public schools high priority. The only higher priority is student’s safety.
Preparing to return next week. Alternative schools have different schedules.
we’ve all seen pictures of Americans who won’t deny themselves their summer pleasures, insisting they happen just as they always have.
But how can we be surprised? Our leader is standing knee-deep in the shallows, smiling and beckoning and telling us that the water’s fine.

@BlueStateBabe Huge trust, in the hands of professionals. But I have known at least 6 that have had such surgeries and all have been happy with the results. Will think of you & add my prayers. (and my husband faces one soon for glaucoma)
