We've Lost Our Ever-Lovin' Minds

It’s a catch phrase I’ve been using for a while. I have a lot of faith in humanity and I believe deep down that there are some great connections we can make across these deep divisions. I want to believe we share a “loving mind” at heart but it’s getting harder and harder to hold onto that notion.

Let’s revisit some of the “best of” the mind-losing moments of the pandemic:

Kids and Masks

I suppose it’s the entrepreneurial spirit of America that makes products like these. It’s dystopian at its core but at least we can see their faces!

Here it is. The hellscape of hellspaces exemplifying our insanity. We've lost our ever-lovin minds.

Remember this poor kid? He gets home from college and his parents treat him like “bubble boy”. Good heavens.

This school took “bubble boy” to a whole new level:

The “virtual learning centers” are the all the rage. Teachers can’t be near the potential disease so they send in other adults to help kids, at school, while they teach them from another classroom over Zoom

This is the inside of an MNPS "virtual learning center," where students are assisted by in-person staff in a room of similar size, ventilation, and ability to physically distance as a classroom. Only thing missing are teachers. It only makes sense if you don't think about it.

Band. There are hundreds of these. For some reason we decided to burden our kids with our fears. We kept them from school and when they got to school we kept them from each other. There will be no Wyton Marsalis of this generation methinks.

I find this picture so sad. This is a band class at my daughters high school. Today was their first day back on an every 3 weeks rotating 3 cohort schedule. How can you have a band with only 2 students? I’m afraid for the future of performing arts in public schools. #letthemplay

Remember when masks were a performative control mechanism - oh they still are. This was just in May where a school REWARDED students with no mask time if they were good. It’s SCIENCE!

Apparently breathing oxygen is now considered a reward for the students of this charter school in Lakeland FL.#unmaskourchildren

The plexiglass wasteland after this pandemic will be epic. And Randi here might share a BIG part of the blame in all of this:

The other 1st grade class had so many students excited to learn about mandrills! One of them jumped up, excited to explain both how the board worked and how scary madrills looked.

This illustrstes how the asymptomatic spread lie was the lynchpin of the unhinged pandemic responsxe. Take away that baseless assertion, and all this stuff would never have happened.

This is painful to see. You'd think we'd all be numb to it by now. Adults can be morons and punish each other, but the effect on our children and the consequences on this generation is heartbreaking.
