We are bound by an unspoken social contract when we choose to enjoy the benefits of living in close proximity to one another: i.e. we care about other's well being. We don't harm each other. We don't pee in the pool. You can't abide the contract? please go be a hermit.

"Do not get lost in a sea of despair. Be hopeful, be optimistic. Our struggle is not the struggle of a day, a week, a month, or a year, it is the struggle of a lifetime. Never, ever be afraid to make some noise and get in good trouble, necessary trouble." #RIPJohnLewis
@abrarian@Bamateach1 My doctor also told me teaching right now will be like being in a rock concert, without a mask, how it’s not a matter of “if” I’ll get it, but when I’ll get it. And that my husband I, both teachers, should get our affairs ready, before starting school.

#JohnLewis isn’t lost to us. He moved along on the journey. What a life of service, what a great light transitioning into eternity. Weren’t we blessed to have him among us?
Has everyone stopped to meditate on the fact that an 87-year-old woman on chemo has to keep working full-time, full-force, because she's quite literally the only thing stopping the country's full slide into fascism?
I hope, desperately hope, that this story is not what it appears to be. That there is some mistake. We need to know more, fast. But there is a chill up my spine with the recognition that this is plausible in our current America.
I think about this video a lot. Like... I wonder if the people standing there knew they were about to witness the greatest vocal performance ever. https://t.co/3oDjmWopEL
I believe if everyone, including #Millenials and #GenZ, wear a cloth face covering for the next 4 to 6 weeks, we can get the #COVID19 epidemic under control.
