The state governor issued an executive order commanding all schools in the state to close until April 3rd, and… wait for this… you can tell that although the local school district is adhering to that and has put out notice to everyone who needs to be made aware of this, they do not like it. Imagine being so annoyed during a global pandemic that you can not keep your doors open for increased federal funding that you blatantly come off as passive-aggressive to anyone and everyone who can see through your thin veneer, because you prioritize access to that federal funding over the lives of at-risk individuals in your community for whom keeping these school doors open (even on the technicality of “we won’t count absences or pursue truancy charges”, which was your first gambit) will endanger. This is literally why so many folks have problems with this school district and why they have had problems with this school district. And yet they honestly wonder.

In the midst of a global pandemic, it would be great if the schools just closed for the entire school year…

…but whatever. I’ll continue to do the advocacy I’ve been doing, what’s been labeled “my Scottish advocacy”.

Meanwhile, I switched what was our physical pre-order of Animal Crossing over to a digital pre-order (thanks, Amazon!) and downloaded it onto the Switch the day before release so that it would be available for play on release day given the nature of the pandemic and wanting to make that game available to Bub. If I can at some point due that with our pre-order of Final Fantasy VII: the Remake (how do you write that out?), I will do so as well since we’ve had it on pre-order with Amazon for months and there is not yet an option to digitally pre-order it there and I put the money that I used to pre-order it into the gift card “stash”.
