In a sort of Groundhog Day kind of way, I wake up each day thinking (hoping) this is all a dream.

@sperte I see both sides. For families that are able to invest time and resources into their school-age children, this is a time those children might flourish, and parents and schools will re-evaluate what we’ve always accepted as the status quo…

Fascinating browser extension to suppress stats on Twitter. I advocated back in the day that these numbers (and associated action icons) should not be visible in the timeline because of 1) behavioral changes, and 2) clutter. We know how that ended. bengrosser.com/projects/twitt…

@lenlayton I didn’t even think about that. I started out with us muted. But I think I saw a notification that the host unmuted us. Didn’t know that was possible either. Still, no feedback or delayed audio. Audio is also cast to tv.

New normal: our girls are taking their ballet class in our family room on a MacBook connected to Zoom projected to our tv via Airplay.

My daughter just geeked out that today is 3 20 20 20. Proud of her.

@StephenPunwasi They actually do. Little Brownie, the mint is more subtle. ABC has a stronger mint taste. I prefer Little Brownie’s TMs. Our girls did a taste test comparison a while back. Not much helpful detail, but entertaining… bigcrazylife.com/girl-scout-coo…

@StephenPunwasi More than Little Brownie, certainly. Although Little Brownie’s Thin Mints are vegan.

@stop If you order from any of these links, and you’re accustomed to a particular GS cookie, just pay attention to which bakery each girl offers. Even though you’ll find a few hoarders selling on Amazon, I don’t recommend chancing it there. Buy from a true source.

@stop Note that there are two different bakeries that supply Girl Scout Cookies (ABC and Little Brownie). Both make Thin Mints, but the names for other cookies change (c.f. Carmel deLites vs Samoas) and they taste different to.
-
@stop Most online cookie sales will continue through this period, because they can be shipped directly to you from the bakery. You’ll pay a lot extra for shipping, especially for only a box or two. But if you order in bulk, the hit isn’t too bad.

@stop My wife (a troop leader, herself) is part of several Girl Scout FB groups, and started a spreadsheet of girls’ online cookie order links to help these girls out. If you’re still looking for a cookie source, most of these will still work. Choose at random. docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

We’re done with our cookie season. But many Girl Scouts just started selling, and are being forced to stop in-person sales because of #COVID19. You can imagine their disappointment, especially when selling cookies is how they raise the majority of funds for troop activities.

To understand the threat of coronavirus, this one seems pretty well-written, with lots of citations. We’ve been discussing the disruption to everyday lives many will experience. But this looks at the massive shock to global healthcare systems. medium.com/@amwren/forget…

@sperte Two days behind you, still enjoying my tween life over here.
