Hiatus! Update! Questions!
So sorry for being gone so long!
As an update: became the teacher I wanted to be! It has also burned me plum out and I’m only in year three!
My dad unexpectedly passed. He was rather young to have left us though. For the last year Ive been trying to also cope with that loss and help my family.
this year I am going to start writing more. I even may get my blog up and running again. I’ll put the link in my bio if anyone cares to read it. It’ll probably be like ramblings on here.
I’m open to answering any questions about teaching, studying, grief - whatever! I’ve got some great new study tricks up my sleeves. Would also love to know what helps you best to study history? Specifically a state history and world geography? I’m always looking for new ideas!

Sometimes you may sit with your thoughts. But be careful not to sit in your thoughts, for sometimes they can become all too consuming of ourselves.

Hello all!! It’s my first year teaching and I landed my dream of teaching 7th grade social studies.
If you could have told your teacher anything about what you were feeling about school, learning, etc what would it have been? I want to better help these kiddos but I can’t give them surveys or anything.

According to new data, the U.S. currently ranks first in total COVID-19 cases, new cases per day and deaths. Genevieve Briand, assistant program director of the Applied Economics master’s degree program at Hopkins, critically analyzed the effect of COVID-19 on U.S. deaths using data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in her webinar titled “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data.”
Thanks to @fairytalesanddragons for bringing this to my attention!
Johns Hopkins University published and then quickly deleted this, but thankfully the Wayback Machine saved it. It shows that COVID has had almost no effect on the total number of deaths in the U.S. this year, or on the percentage of total deaths in each age group (aka old people are not dying at a higher rate than they did last year).
Which is what I’ve been saying - we aren’t seeing a sharp increase in deaths, we’re simply seeing a re-classification of the deaths we anticipated this year.
If you’re immunocompromised, any cold, flu, viral pneumonia, or other virus could kill you just as easily as COVID. That means for the people who died “from COVID” this year, chances are that without COVID it simply would have been something else.
So far, we are actually on track to have FEWER deaths in 2020 than we did in 2019 - and that’s even with the sharp increase in suicides and deaths of despair that we’ve seen due to lockdowns and economic chaos.
Which means all of this has been propaganda and statistical manipulation (also known as lies) from the very beginning. There is no pandemic. There is no plague.

What is the official explanation for why they deleted this?
Editor’s Note: After The News-Letter published this article on Nov. 22, it was brought to our attention that our coverage of Genevieve Briand’s presentation “COVID-19 Deaths: A Look at U.S. Data” has been used to support dangerous inaccuracies that minimize the impact of the pandemic.
We decided on Nov. 26 to retract this article to stop the spread of misinformation, as we noted on social media. However, it is our responsibility as journalists to provide a historical record. We have chosen to take down the article from our website, but it is available here as a PDF.
In accordance with our standards for transparency, we are sharing with our readers how we came to this decision. The News-Letter is an editorially and financially independent, student-run publication. Our articles and content are not endorsed by the University or the School of Medicine, and our decision to retract this article was made independently.
Briand’s study should not be used exclusively in understanding the impact of COVID-19, but should be taken in context with the countless other data published by Hopkins, the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
As assistant director for the Master’s in Applied Economics program at Hopkins, Briand is neither a medical professional nor a disease researcher. At her talk, she herself stated that more research and data are needed to understand the effects of COVID-19 in the U.S.
Briand was quoted in the article as saying, “All of this points to no evidence that COVID-19 created any excess deaths. Total death numbers are not above normal death numbers.” This claim is incorrect and does not take into account the spike in raw death count from all causes compared to previous years. According to the CDC, there have been almost 300,000 excess deaths due to COVID-19. Additionally, Briand presented data of total U.S. deaths in comparison to COVID-19-related deaths as a proportion percentage, which trivializes the repercussions of the pandemic. This evidence does not disprove the severity of COVID-19; an increase in excess deaths is not represented in these proportionalities because they are offered as percentages, not raw numbers.
Briand also claimed in her analysis that deaths due to heart diseases, respiratory diseases, influenza and pneumonia may be incorrectly categorized as COVID-19-related deaths. However, COVID-19 disproportionately affects those with preexisting conditions, so those with those underlying conditions are statistically more likely to be severely affected and die from the virus.
Because of these inaccuracies and our failure to provide additional information about the effects of COVID-19, The News-Letter decided to retract this article. It is our duty as a publication to combat the spread of misinformation and to enhance our fact-checking process. We apologize to our readers.

Basically: People looked at this article and came to conclusions that threatened the narrative, so we need to discredit the data and the researcher so people can go back to believing the media.
I got my first teaching job as a 7th grade Social Studies teacher!!
Oh dear goodness I am so scared but SO PUMPED.
31.1.18 〜History and a lot of cups of tea〜
The good news is that I’m going back to school! Kind of. I’m working on a certification on getting licensure to be a middle school teacher! I’m even looking at various Master’s programs in Political Science or History. Since I’d rather go to school online (since I’m 24. I do have a career to build and this whole COVID - 19 mess) I’m having to dig through legit online schools that would give a high quality education. (Suggestions ALWAYS welcome)
All that to say, I’m back in business!! Get ready for mildly pleasing images and not - so - funny jokes to appear back on your feed, along with some Praxis 2 tips and study materials I’ve found. Two months until I take the Social Studies Praxis!
I was accepted into a licensure program for my state, and I interviewed for a teaching job that is looking hopeful!! Very excited for the next steps in this process - now time to wait for classes to big, and for Praxis centers to open back up again.

As most people are working and studying from home right now, I wanted to share some concrete, implementable ways you can help yourself feel better. Though I believe productivity and quantity of work done (or lack thereof) doesn’t/shouldn’t translate into your self-worth and how you view yourself, when you get work done, you actually do feel better in your own body.
By the way, it’s the first time I’m formatting a tips/guide post like this, so I apologize that I couldn’t be more concise.
I’ve spoken to a licensed professional counsellor as well as to some professionals who have been working from home for a long time, and some of the advice above is from them. I’m also sharing from my own experience as someone who used to be very productive and an (ex-)overachiever, and still attach a lot of my self-worth to grades and other tangible accomplishments. I hope these slides can help you. In case it’s hard to read, I’ve included it (reworded) in text form if you’d like to read more.

05.27.2020// today is a day full of old history books from 1905 - 1930’s. Chock full of history, maps, economics, and social studies. Amazing works! These go so much deeper into history that our books do now. It makes me still wish that elementary/middle school/high school books had this richness. These all belonged to my relatives and they have been saved on bookshelves longing to be read again.
