So hats off to my colleague whose kids do gymnastics in the background when she zooms into meetings. Kudos to the woman whose kids are scratching out songs on the violin while she is taking an online workshop about trauma informed teaching.

Thumbs up to my co-worker who had to pause the meeting she was chairing to tend to her dog that was barfing on the carpet beside her. To my student who vaped her way through my class this week, thanks for being there and being focused.

We’re all just fumbling through it and I believe we are doing our best.
