This is not going to be inspiring or invigorating—it will be terrible. It already is terrible. Here in the United States, it’s a totally predictable worst-case scenario come to life during a corrupt and incompetent Presidential administration. This will fundamentally change our world, and in the short term, that change is for the worst. People are already dying. The economy is tanking. Families are fighting and grieving and separated and afraid. A billion little tragedies play out behind closed doors every single day. It is too much for the human mind to process and too much for the heart to handle.
These are not conditions in which to thrive. Just get through the damn day. If that’s all you accomplish, that’s enough.
Thank god people are finally starting to spread this message.
I've had a number of students write to thank me for being so accommodating during the transition to online classes. I don't think I'm doing anything special, but apparently a lot of professors have settled into an "everyone needs to work harder now" mentality. What the fuck. What. The actual living fuck.
