Things I am talking about with friends and co-workers

Talking about how my brain is protecting itself from… current life.

Talking about the move to online teaching and the absolute train wreck of my first lecture.

Just a small sample of the new realities. Talking about what happens if… what happens if people get desperate and start looting (one friend is starting to feel like their family needs a gun), what if people need to go back to work and kids are still doing schooling at home (who do they think is gonna take care of all these kids?), what about, what about, what about.

My job is also pretty tactile and trying to get buy-in from so many parties when I am limited in how I can show samples, do analysis or evaluate textiles via Zoom or Skype. I haven’t figured out if shipping things FROM my home is helpful or if I am just going to amass samples as they come in from my partners overseas.

And and and.

There is a lot of hamster on a wheel in my brain. I know there is for us all. It may not feel like your normal instinct to share all those throughts, to put words to the rush in your head, but please do. We can work to build better bridges when we know where they need to go.

Sending love from here.
