The last exercise I went through with my school board rep showed that our district still had a significant amount of money set aside to cover domestic travel costs for faculty and staff and bus rental. Of course it was untouched this year - no school trips, no conferences, but they hadn't thought about taking it to use for new needs.
I guess I shouldn’t be shocked by this but I really am. I would have thought that squeezing money out of the budget to make dealing with all this a smidge easier would be somebody’s priority.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Best thoughts to our HS seniors -- I can't even imagine doing that right now.
Now I would like an empanada, as I have already had an oatmeal raisin cookie today (or two, they are legit tiny).
I have a suggestion for escapism: The Rookie apparently is now in an AU with no pandemic, which is really relaxing to watch, even as they are dealing with racist cops (the show is total copaganda, don't get me wrong).

OH! Also, I read on tumblr (and have not confirmed) that the Donner party were just assholes! Other white people made it through fine because they listened the the locals and took their advice and DIDN'T EAT EACH OTHER.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I highly recommend the Puppet History episode about the Donner Party: [link]
Puppet History being a show where a guy uses a puppet to narrate interesting historical episodes to two somewhat willing participants. There's a song at the end!

I am here to report that JZ made it safely to Reno without being eaten, nor having to eat anybody.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

This is good news, and I look forward to the coming "did/did not shoot a man just to watch him die" updates.

Five stars for JZ, she has exceeded the benchmark!
I’m going to say right now that if JZ shoots a man in Reno she will undoubtedly have a good reason
