All Falls Down

The return to fall is always a thing, but this year it feels particularly daunting. The crisis fatigue is real, and the return of the mask is a perturbing reminder of how impossible it may be for us to actually succeed in this nationwide group project. There's always those few kids who don't want to pull their weight, but rather than getting a B- it feels as though we're all back to pining for just a D or higher. It's not that hard to get the shot, but it is that hard to digest the idea that there is no level of logic, emotional intelligence, or PR strategy that can sway someone who is committed to misunderstanding what it means to live in a shared world.

I am also still annoyed at the pervasive lack of air conditioning in my life, which has exacerbated my exacerbation regarding the above and also [insert other crises here]. Individualistic, yes, but I also feel like it's just not getting enough coverage right now.
