I'll always remember in the midst of this all, hearing a story about someone with a depth perception deficit explaining that looking at people on zoom is just 'how everyone looks to her all the time'

Any time those meetings or zoom calls start to feel impersonal, i think of that and am reminded of the reality of me having a conversation with another person. My monkey-brain seems to forget that the magic light dots on my monitor are more than just little lights when I'm actually on the phone.
