Oh Shir!! I hadn't even listened to any news today. I just tuned in. It is really horrific. Selfishly, I hope your flight doesn't get canceled.
What a pain, David. As if your onerous task list wasn't long enough.
Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

Oh Shir. Thinking about you and Nilly all the time these days. And just everyone.

In shelter. Looks like it's gonna be a long night.

Swouncing
Well, it's 2am here, and I can't call any Israeli and ask how they're doing, because if there's a slight chance that they're sleeping, I wouldn't want to wake them up. Even the ones who have to be in shelters and safe rooms right now. But that made me realize y'all may be even more worried than usual, so I poked my head to let you know that we're as OK as possible under the circumstances.
I'm probably the only Israeli who is awake tonight in order to grade, and not be awaken by alarms or attempts to follow the news. Which means me and my immediate family are definitely as fine as possible.
So, um, timelies.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.
I am given to understand that grading is endless. Or eternal. Or both. Or something.
Anyway...Nilly, glad to hear you and yours are okay. Do what you need to do. Sleep when you can. Stay safe.
Shir, same advice.

I adore all you motherfuckers so much -- PMM.
Shir, Nilly, the only words I have that aren't all tears and swearing are: I love you both. Hug your families for me, please.

Always Anti-fascist!
Karl may not think so, but he kind of always knows what to say. I could transcribe the tears and swearing, though. I kind of...know a guy.
