Another day another high school closed. Day 8 of school. Several hundred people in quarantine- not counting the entire student body & staff of two large high schools. Some parents held an appreciation rally for the county for keeping f2f an option. No masks, no distance, but it was outside. JFC people that isn’t how you keep the schools open.
In today’s pandemic news, cookie monster is getting roughed up.

@Fyodor, wow, just wow.
I was talking with my classmate yesterday who is an American, and she visited the states back in July to see family. She said it was staggering the differences in states and their approaches to mask wearing. Apparently they were the odd ones out in Idaho for wearing masks inside stores and restaurants. No one wore them when they passed through communities.
Luckily she promptly quarantined for 2 weeks and has vowed not to ever go back haha I kid, she has family there so is probably going back in the winter unless they truly close the border.
Well the college I work for has been bringing students back a little at a time and testing each and every one. Once arriving, students are supposed to get tested then quarantine until they have their results. Welp, guess what? Yeah a student came back with a positive test and they didn’t quarantine themselves so now an entire dorm is on quarantine because they have all been exposed. I’m not surprised but it still makes me angry. I am so thankful I’m still allowed to work from home.
I am so depressed about the future. I just don’t see November going well at all. America is sick and tired of two things old white men and cops.
So naturally the DNC thinks we’ll win miraculously big with an EVEN OLDER white man and a former prosecutor. Um… REALLY?! NEWSFLASH: I don’t see it.
w.T.F.
It’s not even about the candidates. They will win if it’s a fair election. What’s terrifying is all the ways Donald is going to cheat and break the law to win. Like last time but way worse because he’s super desperate now.
Oh, I so agree, Kate. He will cheat. But with Biden and Harris? Eh… he may not even have to… ?♂️
I was really depressed earlier this week while reading one of my other usual blogs. It’s of course, progressive. There were over 700 comments as of Friday. So many people were saying since the ticket isn’t progressive enough, they might vote third party or not all. I mean, I get it, Biden/Harris aren’t the perfect candidates. There’s a lot to dislike. They’re better than Trump, who is ruining the U.S. in more ways than 100. So VOTE FOR BIDEN/HARRIS, especially if you’re a swing state.
So, between reading that and the news about USPS, I was sad for our future.
ktfran, I always mean to tell you when you mention your other fave blog that I’ve met that blogger a few times. Our boys befriended each other in some extra-curricular classes/camps a couple years ago and had play dates at each other’s homes a couple times.
Oh, so fun!! That’s so cute they met at camp / activities. From stories and pics, both seem like cool little dudes. Jealous. I hope it’s ok that I occasionally bring it up on here? You two are the only blogs I religiously read, like multiple times a day. I appreciate the communities you created, although I’m starting to become disenchanted with the community/commenters on the other one.
