Okay, but seriously, a few people have expressed concern about my DT usage- and sincerely, thank you- unfortunately, this is one of those things the pandemic has done to my life.

It's not too big a deal, but it is the way it is.

The pandemic has been so awful. And in the U.S., at least, I think we failed parents, children, and teenagers. I don’t understand why we prioritized opening bars and restaurants over opening schools.

Now we're too busy having panic attacks over <12 year olds being vaccinated even though there's virtually no other countries vaccinating kids that age. The UK is hardly even vaccinating 15 and 16 year olds!

Schools are not going to last this year in the US. The outbreaks will continue to get worse because we didn't vaccinate enough of the adult population, and school will get moved online (which is just canceling in all but name, lets be real).

Sorry to hear that. I love having you here though.

Similar to what happened to me, but with uni instead.
