15/ I *do* know who needs to hear this: If you teach and you are being a hard ass right now because you think your students are being lazy and have a bunch of free time on their hands while at home, you are trash, and no one likes you.

16/ Our young students are weird, anxious, confounding, beautiful, resilient little creatures. They are a blessing. Don't take them for granted.

postscript (17/): three cheers and a thousand huzzahs for all you folks out there who are living in these weird times and reveling in new ways to show the people around you, whoever they may be, that they are loved.

Postpostscript (18/) I have been overwhelmed with offers of financial support for my students today.Thank you for your kindness!! For now, we are in good shape. But local food pantried across the US are not! If you have help to give, food pantries need your money BADLY.
