Hi. Been awhile - hiding was one way I coped with this surreal collective two year journey. I have also been focusing on cherishing many beautiful and heartbreaking moments with my mom knowing our time was limited. 💕🦋🌻 Some more about Mom’s story: https://t.co/694s60EVrD

We rewrote the #Covid_19 guidelines in #plainlanguage so Americans could understand them more clearly. See the before and after. @CDCDirector @CDCgov @HHSGov @HHS_ViralHep @WhiteHouse @Surgeon_General @SecAzar

Hi friends. One more note for the evening crowd - been away from social media but want to pop in to say Hi during this really difficult time.

I’m thinking of you and hoping you are all safe and healthy. 💕 Virtual hugs to all.

[Alex @alexproaps]

@Ulahoop Hanging in there! All healthy. Mom did a few last errands and doc appts before she started staying home to avoid the risk. MG is in Chicago, so now on a lockdown. My dad is worried he’ll have to do lay offs with his restaurants. Tough. How are you all doing? 💕

[Alex @alexproaps]

Dear friends, I’ve been pretty MIA from social media for many months, but wanted to send a note during this really difficult time.

I’m thinking of you and hoping you are all safe and healthy. 💕 I’m here via text or FaceTime anytime. Virtual hugs to all.

@LRCkcrw @jbarro @ebruenig @RichLowry @kavitapmd @ConorDougherty Friendly reminder that Obama admin, @AndrewYang & many of us in tech have been advocating for years for the humane solution of universal basic income to help us adjust our economy & account for automation. $1000/mo isn’t a new idea or “Romney’s” plan. :)

@michaelmgrant @tadousay Thank you both!!

Q for educators & instructional designers:

Can you point me to research about the impact of diagrams/scenes drawn or viewed from a variety of perspectives (i.e., first-person, bird's eye, over shoulder or egocentric/allocentric) on *learning* outcomes?

[Alex @alexproaps]

Crucial component being the LEARNING outcomes. My expertise in this area focuses more on human perception & performance in real-time, but I’m interested in how we can use different perspectives in a diagram to improve memory and comprehension. Thanks!

[Alex @alexproaps]

@AshleyCadaret Sending all the love to you and your family. Wishing you all get more information and reassuring news as soon as possible. It is so hard to function under the weight of crushing uncertainty. <3
