I just had an incredible encounter. Our doorbell rang, so I opened the window to look below to the front stoop.
When I saw a man delivering food, I called out to him, letting him know it must be for our neighbors downstairs. This, so far, is normal.

Today I sent a letter to the President of @BostonCollege expressing deep concern for BC's COVID response.

It's great that our colleges & universities rank among @USNews' top schools in the country, but how would @NIAIDNews rank their COVID-19 responses? BC cases are rising.

[Grace Gerrish @gdgerrish_bc]

also, I love how half of the tweets about BC right now are about how deeply the community is suffering at the hands of the administration's complete *insanity*, and the other half are people talking about sports like they can't imagine there being anything else going on /:

in other news, I'm still getting used to this whole "having two twitter profiles" thing and that's probably obvious. that's not to say that i'm *embarrassed* about my non-academic interests--but separating that content was kind of the Whole Point. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
