"...and our sister is a lying liar."-I overhear my 7yo telling my 4yo. "HEY! Apologize right now!"-me "We're having a campaign for president of the floor and you said negative campaign ads work."-him.
They have an election every month. My 10yo is the competent, even-keeled one. My 7yo promises a bunch of things (game nights, movie nights) and never delivers. The 4yo is the only voter. The 7yo wins every time.
And I had to explain about negative campaign ads after they watched a season of Max Rose/Nicole Malliotakis commercials and I had to reassure them that neither person was actively trying to kill people right this minute.
They declared independence a few weeks ago and are now allowed to bare their arms. The 7yo put this together, sort of a combo Declaration of Independence and Bill of Rights all in one doc. Image

Chris Cuomo went out, while actually having COVID. Chris got a haircut, unmasked, and didn’t get the fine the rest of us would get. Chris’s wife worked out, indoors, unmasked, while the rest of us could not. Be like Gov. Cuomo’s family: do what you want.
Want the receipts on all of this? Start here. My timeline of Chris Cuomo breaking quarantine while actually having COVID, and then emerging from the basement like a Pravda segment:
Here’s his wife working out with a trainer in July. Maskless, indoors. Gyms didn’t open until September and then with a ton of regulation. But they’re not plebes like you.

Can all the people who just “took down a dictator” maybe care a little bit about this tyrant?
I live how there is ZERO science involved. You have a mansion where you can spread out? 10 people. You have a 400 sq ft studio? 10 people. Gov. Cuomo doesn’t do critical thinking and he thinks you don’t either.
You can just see that Gov. Cuomo counted out how many people he’ll see on Thanksgiving and decided that was the number for the rest of us too. Don’t listen to this, do what you want. See your family. 10, 12, 25 of them.

On the Zoom call this morning with my sons' school, the principal informed the parents whose kids are currently fully remote that they could not, actually, and despite what the mayor and schools chancellor have promised, switch to in-person.
Basically, if a lot of the remote kids wanted to switch to in-person, it would add a "cohort" to the school and the kids currently doing in-person would likely move from a 2-3 day schedule to a 1-2 day schedule.
ALSO there's just not enough space for even that so if too many wanted to move, they would use a lottery system to decide who gets in-person learning that one whole (two on alternate weeks) day a week.

I want to have all my schools-during-COVID writing in one place so figured I'd put it all here. So, THREAD.
It starts in March when I call for schools to close. Other countries had closed & it made no sense that my husband had stopped going to work yet my kids were still in school. I'd soon learn that making sense was no longer a thing that should be expected. nypost.com/2020/03/13/for…
I should also note, because we live in an absurd time where you're for or against, good or bad, "believe" in COVID or not believe, that in mid-Feb I told everyone to prepare for a lockdown and buy toilet paper. I took COVID very seriously.

I spend too much time reading about how other countries are handling children during COVID. This is Holland. They also don't wear masks.
The rules on distancing matter a lot because when we're lucky enough to have in-person school, it's on a part-time schedule because kids allegedly need to distance (and, additionally, all the kids in NY wear masks all the time including recess). No one else is doing this.
In Germany, grade school kids in some regions don't wear masks at all & in other areas kids wear them only in common spaces, not in classrooms. Again, my 4yo wears a mask all day, including recess, & still doesn't get to have full-time schooling. It's bullshit. This is bullshit.

You know the whole thing with “NYC is in trouble” and “NYC is doing great, look at me eating my sandwich in this park,” is that NYC is huge and it varies block by block. I just drove west on 3rd street from Ave B. It was...not good.
On Ave A there was a man with his pants down menacing people with a metal bar. I drove past him and pulled over to a police car closer to 1st Ave to tell them about it. As I was telling them, another guy came by to report a different guy acting violent.
But as I continued driving, the outdoor seating at Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria on Great Jones is packed and looks like it was dropped there from Italy. People drinking wine and enjoying life. Snap that picture, you don’t even know what’s happening 3 blocks away.
