This week someone tried to pass off something I created, as their own in a Zoom meeting. So I pulled up share screen as she was talking, to show a shared document and ask did she just copy what I had already put in for everyone to see. Because at this point I’m just fed up.

People are experiencing 'skin hunger' after months without touching anyone

"Skin hunger" is a human touch deficit that's linked with worse health. Nothing can replace the need for touch, but some strategies can tide you over.
