Sixth Classroom...
Three weeks just sitting in a library watching ELLs take the ACCESS test…
Oh great, Corona.
I’m banned from the school and go home.
Now, the school shuts down and the children seldom show.
I sit in my bedroom talking to the walls on Zoom.
YouTube stories…picture books and animations on environmental and wildlife conservation…
Stories lead to class discussions and simple assignments.
The edTPA is not going to happen.
Thankfully I don’t need it for institutional backing once I finally graduate.
Virtual classrooms where students are constantly interrupted by poor internet or having to watch younger siblings.
These kids are learning nothing yet being passed onto the next grade.
It’s such a disservice…
Being Asian American During Covid. Saw this super-indie documentary on Reddit, thought more people should watch it
Stay safe everyone❤️

People. Are. Dying. PLEASE REBLOG! And donate if you can!
So, India is dying.
Look, I know a good number of you are from the US and things aren't amazing there either, but my country is literally on the brink of collapse. So I'd love it if we could talk about that for a minute.
If you can't do anything else, please just read and reblog.
A second COVID wave has taken out the healthcare system. There are no more hospital beds. There's an oxygen shortage. There's a critical vaccine shortage. The Central Government has thrown its hands up and is passing the baton to the State Governments to do what they can.
There are over 16 million covid cases. A record 330,000 new cases reported yesterday - comparable to the US at its peak. 187,000 dead as of today.
There is no plan.
Mass cremations are taking place. The cremation grounds are running day and night and they are short on wood. People are watching their loved ones die while waiting for a hospital bed, and then they're unable to give them the proper burial rights.
Hospitals are overwhelmed. Patients are being confined, two to a bed. They're the lucky ones.
We are on the verge of people dying in the streets.
This is the second-most populous country in the world. The largest democracy. A country that encapsulates over 15,000 years of recorded human history and has endured everything from famine to invasion to colonisation.
We might be at the end. This might be the thing that does us in.
People are dying.
People are dying.
People are dying and there is no plan.
More good news? Variants are popping up. A double mutation strain has shown up. It is resistant to current vaccines. This will not go away. This is the devastation they warned of when the anti-maskers were out protesting the minor inconvenience of covering their face in public.
My country is on the verge of an emergency state. Our government has failed us. This is as dire a situation as it ever could be.
Look. I don't do much with my life. I write fics, some of you have read them and that's pretty much it. I spend my days with my head in the clouds because that's where I like to be.
But two days ago, my grandmother tested positive, had to be taken to hospital and the ambulance caught fire.
She barely made it to the urgent care she needs.
So, here I am, using whatever meager platform I have to cobble this request together. Because I have to do something.
If you can, donate.
Or spread the word.
Help. Please.
La cuarentena y las clases online no son lo que parecen.
Aparte de que te aburres muy rapido.
CORONAVIRUS-CHAN
Pues aprovechando la cuarenta y debido a que mi país es una mierda para controlar pandemias, decidí dibujar más seguido y salió esto, lavense las manos y no salgan de casa los tqm.
Okay so people really need to fucking understand that you might be all strong and have a good immunity, but not taking precautions can put others you come in contact with at risk. I’ve seen several DUMBASS KIDS carry masks in their fucking pockets, touch a MILLION surfaces prone to viral contamination and THEN put the mask on with those VERY HANDS, touching the fucking entire surface of the mask INSIDE AND OUT, thus probably contaminating it. It’s not just about the masks, it’s about trying to avoid contact with any surface that could transmit the virus from one place to another. A mask is not the solution to the virus, it’s a precaution, and a really fucking important one. This needs so many more notes, and needs to be put out on as many social media and other platforms by as many accounts as possible. Putting others at risk because taking certain precautions is not convenient to you is not a fucking excuse.

Hii Tumblr People❤️
Shu here and I just wanna share a small insight of my recent days.
So, I live on an island in the Indian Ocean where there were zero local cases of Covid19 for the last 3 or 4 months. Life here was back to normal compared to other countries. However, two days ago the authorities found a local case and since then the numbers keep increasing. The government came forward yesterday to address that we will be in lockdown for around 2 weeks.
So since there isn't much to do at home, I've decided that I will take this opportunity to share more here; about my day, the news, and much more.
As you can see in the picture, today is a good day. It's sunny with a little bit of wind. The perfect weather for a beach day. Sadly covid19 said no to beach day. I'm feeling rather overwhelmed lately. I've been feeling a lot, both negative and positive and it's hard to control. I'll do my best to sort those feelings out.
You people can follow me for more and I appreciate any support. ❤️
this is depressingly relevant
What's the point of living in modern society
When my internet connection isn't working and people have stopped believing in science
On average in the USA 856 people die everyday. 856 god damn people die and people think it’s okay to say that COVID-19 isn’t doing anything, or isn’t real? That’s like if my ENTIRE school dropped dead. So please, before it’s too late, take some action.This could be as simple as ordering your groceries online and staying home everyday. Sorry not sorry if it’s an “inconvenience” to you. You know what’s mighty inconvenient? When you you go to call your friend, family member, acquaintance and you realise you can’t because they’re fucking dead from your so called “myth” of a dies. The bodies are piling up high, I think you should start to at least notice the smell.
(sorry if i’m incorrect about the death toll)
