Apparently, teachers unions are now Hamas. Because banding together to get a fair wage and a decent class size so that you can be an effective teacher is exactly like terrorism and murder. Except not.

So, I lied. Or, more accurately, I got staff. Anna has kindly volunteered to help out with two states, another person who I will not call a filthy assistant I swear has offered to help out with another three, and that leaves about three potentially eleven more states with shenanigans going on that I'll be actively monitoring. Wisconsin matters will still go on at [personal profile] lireavue's journal as usual, and so on and so forth, other states here. Having helpers and a three or four day break really, really makes a difference. Anna's probably also right, though. Not having protests here to go recharge and not feel quite so much shouting in a vacuum is not helping.

(And if anyone has taken up that slack and I've missed it, someone let me know?)

I just discovered today that one of the cousins is in Japan. In Tokyo, and apparently no one's too concerned, presumably because they've heard from him, but, dyaugh. Then again, this is the cousin who lives in Chicago and tours regularly with a band, so I'm not too surprised that we just seem to have found this out now. And yet. I guess he's okay? He's supposedly playing a concert, so one presumes either the concert was cancelled and they're staying indoors till it's time to go home or they're in a place with electricity enough to run the concert. I don't know. I really don't know what to think. ... Okay, googling their name with Tokyo concert got me the date and that it is not cancelled yet. So. I still don't know what to think.

Anyway. Knitting, to settle my nerves from finding that out, and work and so on, and at some point there will be more updates with stuff. Oh! And purchasing of gel pens from across the street, because gel pens are awesome and I let mine dry out, sadly. Years ago. But I want to make pretty colored kanji. Because I'm five years old like that.

Oh. Also, you guys? Our world is just awesome. Highest to lowest.
