This is all last week's information, but I thought I'd publish just so I can move forward. I've been having some pretty great days but I had to rein in some nonsense. Last week I spent a few hours just unsubscribing from email lists. It was out of control. It's only gonna get worse leading up to midterms, so it had to be done. I know where I stand on issues and don't need daily reminders of how bad shit is with these nutjobs across the country. It's too much and is just far too toxic. I feel lighter, I'm sleeping better, and I'm getting better at compartmentalizing the things that I need to so my life has a little more balance and joy.
I hope you do the same.
Stay safe out there.

- Stay home when you’re sick. Even if it isn’t COVID-19, staying home still lowers the risk of spreading infections to other people.
- Get tested. Test immediately if you have COVID-19 symptoms. If you test positive, follow recommendations for isolation. If you were exposed to COVID-19 and do not have symptoms, wait at least 5 full days after your exposure before testing. If you test negative—and you used an at-home test —see FDA instructions on repeat testing.
- Mask up. Staff and students should wear masks indoors if their COVID-19 Community Level is high, if they have been exposed to COVID-19, or if they are returning from isolation. To check your COVID-19 Community Level, visit COVID Data Tracker.
- Practice good hand hygiene and respiratory etiquette. Students should learn proper handwashing and to cover coughs and sneezes.
- Optimize ventilation, especially in places with high COVID-19 Community Levels. Effective ventilation and air filtration are important parts of COVID-19 prevention.
- Schools are safer when students and staff are up to date on their vaccinations. All children ages 6 months and older are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines, and children 5 years and older are eligible for boosters.
