Thank you for your excellent, rich, and varied newsletters. Regarding your Edsurge article on the three-headed crisis, I agree that rising mental health issues and lower empathy are both concerning trends. With creativity during the pandemic, I feel that children got to see parents and teachers get creative out of necessity during remote learning and got to witness start-up style iterations based on what worked and didn't. I'm looking forward to listening to your podcast recommendation, "No one is coming to save us" - love anything done with a sense of humor, especially when the topics are heavy! Lastly, I appreciated seeing "On Children" by Kahlil Gibran - it's one of my favorites and a great reminder for me.
I really appreciate your newsletter. One of the New Yorker art submissions struck me deeply. It was the very last one - I almost didn't click that far. But for some reason this one hit so hard that I started crying: https://twitter.com/tropical_toxic/status/1385704742903586817/photo/1 . I didn't even fully comprehend how deep the sense of loss has been from this past year. Thank you for helping bring that to the surface - I think it's an early step in beginning to heal.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for starting my day with light and hope. Bless you, Isabelle.
