Love this and so true. You are in the thick of it, you are now in man to man defense:) This time next year this will all be so normal you won't remember some of the strife. But all to say, good on you for keeping all of this going. Sending a nap:))))

Man to man defense! That's hilarious. You're right, it will be so normal soon. That's both a relief and a bit sad. Thanks for the encouragement!

Love this. Also reminds me of Metcalfe’s Law in terms of the scaling law of complexity of a network. The number of edges grows as N^2 which I always think is a beautiful way to articulate how the relational richness of a community grows nonlinearly as you add more people. I think about this a lot in the context of classroom and family life. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metcalfe's_law

Your post strikes me as an artistic way to illustrate a similar sort of phenomenon.

Woah Metcalfe's Law is basically what I was trying to explain visually. Thanks for giving words to my feelings!
