I must admit that, despite the concerns over the coronavirus, I am a little disappointed in my Twitter feed containing almost no references to pi day :(

@WakeGOV @ncdhhs @WCPSS @GregFordNC A decade ago, WCPSS didn’t close down at the possibility of snow. Then, one year, we learned the hard way: kids stuck overnight. Let’s not learn the hard way, this time. The kids will be fine. No one is disputing that. But their grandparents, older teachers, etc.? Not fine.

The State of Emergency does not change the current recommendations from Wake County Public Health & @ncdhhs regarding schools. We continue to advise against closing schools, because children have not been identified as a high-risk population for COVID-19. @WCPSS #COVID19NC

@WakeGOV @ncdhhs @WCPSS @GregFordNC Churchgoers? Not a high risk population. Sporting event fans? Not a high risk population. Concert fans? Not a high risk population. The vast majority of illnesses that come into my house? I get sick from one of my kids, who caught it at school. Because kids are kids.

I suppose one good thing about a whole food, plant based diet is that even as the store supplies dwindle, I’ll probably still be the lady in aisle 6 who instructs strangers on how to cook dried beans and identifies the random weird vegetables in her cart.

Only 8 -total- Coronavirus tests performed in the US on Wednesday. What is going on? Seriously. I feel like this is a story people should know more about. cdc.gov/coronavirus/20…

Them: “Feeling anxious? Distract yourself with a creative activity.” Me: “Sure, I’ll try that.”

@RaleighStPats I recognize that you're following the state's recommendations. But with an eye toward the rest of the world, there's a very good chance that those will change dramatically over the next few weeks, and we're probably going to be learning those lessons the hard way. :(

The parade & festival are still a go!!! However, given the State of Emergency announced today we are repeating the recommendations by NC DHHS: 65 & older and those with underlying health issues, those people who are sick should not attend. Thank you!

@lhawthorn @tobie Yeah, I usually just ignore when it's done to me. It feels crappy, though. I'm sorry. I do find that when I speak up consistently on behalf of others, someone is more likely to speak up for me. So I try to console myself that way, lol.

@ruhbehka @tobie *nod* Don't have the energy to call in the allies for this one. Usually don't, to be honest, because the things are small(ish) and I have stuff to actually get done. And depending on the smaller forum, you may be the only one to advocate for your own sharing of the thought.

Serious ? - Do men even notice when they are taking credit for women's ideas, or do they just not care that they are doing so? Don't #NotAllMen me. This is for science.

@lhawthorn @tobie In that circumstance, I try to delicately give the credit, e.g. "Glad to see there's interest in this idea. Sarah suggested it in <smaller forum> and a bunch of folks were +1 on it, so thanks, Joe, for bringing it to a broader forum for discussion."

@lhawthorn Or maybe it's that we're all conditioned to discount women's voices a bit more, so when a woman shares an idea, people are less likely to have it "register" in the first place. Women, being socialized to care more about feelings, might override that more readily. I dunno.

@lhawthorn Ergo, I assume that there's some explanation (perhaps partly biological and partly socialized) for why men seem to do this more often. Maybe it has something to do with how women on average are better able to switch attention contexts and/or manage multiple streams at once.

I feel like I’m the only one of my friends who found #Frozen2 problematic. We went from helpless women to helpless men. I thought the goal of feminism was egalitarianism? Why not partners with unique strengths sharing in each other’s victories? Also subpar music. Fight me.

@jonmasters I’m continually surprised that when a work from home, my dog is far needier than my kids. I suppose my presence does disrupt his weekday napping routine... 🤨

On working remotely given the recent virus news. I’ve done it for 14 years. It’s not that hard. The key is to make sure that folks understand that out of sight doesn’t mean out of mind. Keep engaged and participate and you’ll be fine. Many will find their productivity increases.
