I was watching this today though I usually tune out. Betty Devos is a piece of work and I agree with Meghan that she needs some media training, but hell it isn't like Trump has any.

I don't really think children should go back to school with these numbers. Nothing about them indicates the virus is under control. I get that they are missing a school year, but miss me with that. I'd rather have the children alive. Fuck all that other shit. And I'm with Joy about them defunding education stuff like oh you really care about our children's education now bitch? Get the fuck out of here.

I just worry so fucking much about the safety of young children during the epidemic who live in broken homes or are in need of special ed etc, when you see that even kids in “normal” homes are suffering.

[killerspork33]

There is always going to be that concern and I have students I am 100% terrified for because I know what their home life is like. I know other teachers and I have made extra efforts to reach out to those students and continue to check in with them.

It's the best we can do but I am absolutely terrified about what will happen if they force us back into physical school. I have countless students who live in a household with their grandparents / their grandparents are their babysitters after school or on weekends.

Going back is going to cost people's lives.

[entrospect]

That is a valid point I agree. I didn't think of that, but I don't think the solution is going to be re-opening the schools with such a high possibility of death.

Do all of yall know how to swim? Idk how but I was planning on learning this summer. who knows when I'll even be able to take a class. Are chlorine pools safe if someone swimming in it has covid?

[swearwolves]

Do you have any friends/fam that could teach you maybe? Live out that Moonlight beach swimming lesson fantasy.

eta: dumb me assuming you must live near a beach lol

[eaglefan2011]

Yes, the chlorine would kill the virus

[felicityhaircut]

I don’t know how to swim either. It seems to be common among POC to not know how to swim? I’ve always wondered why.

I really want to learn but I don’t want to wear a bathing suit.

I had to unfollow Omar today, she's pushing that "Biden is lesser of two evils" garbage and I was especially disappointed at Angela Davis.

[poordat]

I can see where they're both coming from but I think the way that Davis' comments have been framed are genuinely unfair to her. Her actual statements are much more nuanced. She's been explicit in saying that her decisions are her own and it is not an endorsement for Biden. It's infuriating to see liberals use her words as a bludgeon against leftists when that was clearly not her intent, especially when they ignore her calls to action immediately after.

It's almost as infuriating as watching them try to give her the MLK treatment and "softening" her to a socialist when she's been an avowed communist for decades.

Just a whole damn mess.

[picturemegone]

mte I'm still not voting for Biden but I don't live in a swing state so my vote doesn't matter anyways. If Biden wins liberals will be out to brunch and I'm going to be annoyed that no one learned a damn thing.

[misscrystal25]

My thoughts, but said much better by you.

What black magic do we have to work to get the top Trump admin folks to just all get so violently ill they can never work again.

I honestly don't remember the last time I hugged someone and honestly just thinking that is kinda choking me up a bit. And I'm not a touchy type of person.

[hypnology]

I'm so frustrated with work and lack of respect for my time. I should be thankful to have a job but I feel like being jobless might be less stressful at this point.
