Lots of work, but low motivation. Being constantly interrupted doesn’t help. Week 7 on around-the-clock cooking duty doesn’t help, either. Daily hour-long walks have become absolute sanity savers. I just wish there weren’t quite as many others outside. Today, it was freezing and raining, so I finally got to be (almost) alone outdoors. It was

More links today, as I catch up on stuff. https://twitter.com/NaturelsLit/status/1254623717306425344?s=20 Sound on! ❤️🐄🎶 I’ve never heard a cow sing.

Podcasts. What do we think? I am not the biggest fan of the form. I find most that aren’t heavily edited to be a slog: slow, with too little content for the runtime, and hosted by people whom I don’t find engaging. But, I found one that’s well aligned with my extracurricular interests, and have been

A few days ago, nicoleandmaggie wrote about annoyance and wanting to spare people, and it inspired this post of mine. I try to pursue new experiences and activities in meat space, but what invariably happens is that I am the only non-American-born participant. Some people are weirded out by it; others are not. I don’t

— I’ve been in a foul mood today, so not much to discuss. I did manage to (in no particular order) cook a ridiculously large amount of food, go for an hour-long walk followed by an hour-long shower/pamper routine, supervise kids’ school work, and work on a book chapter. It wasn’t a total loss, but

Warning: Whining ahead. Since the beginning of the quarantine, which is now five weeks in over here, the university administration has sent between seven and eight million emails emphasizing how we need to be flexible and understanding with our undergraduates and graduate students, how we need to check in on their mental health, and that

What kind of sorcery is this https://t.co/6BqCt6RNQg — Clement Chow (@ClementYChow) April 18, 2020 This is how Angela Merkel explained the effect of a higher #covid19 infection rate on the country's health system. This part of today's press conf was great, so I just added English subtitels for all non-German speakers. #flattenthecurve pic.twitter.com/VzBLdh16kR — Benjamin

Shopping You know, I believe I’m doing quite well during this quarantine time. Generally in good spirits, productive, having time for extracurriculars, and keeping the family going. Then I go shopping and get reminded that we all live in the middle of a shitshow. The zombie-apocalypse (i.e., nonexistent) traffic; everyone at the store subdued, with

Kids are back in school, virtually. I am amazed at the great resources available to them. Smurf’s 3rd-grade class is organized; he gets a clear list of daily to-dos on Google Classroom, clicks on each task and does it, turns it in, then proceeds to the next one. He has a videoconference with his class
