My students have NO IDEA how much an office visit can revive my love for teaching again. It's been a bleak term and this was the shot of sun I needed so, so badly.

If your institution has a food pantry, consider sending that info to your students. Here is the link for NYC folks to find their local food bank: www.foodbanknyc.org/find-food/
I have no words for how evil it is to withhold food for the poorest and most vulnerable people.
I know. I was both appalled and outraged, but this seems to be the norm now? I guess??!!

Are you seeing a difference with their writing or class discussion that shows that they did the whole reading?
My colleagues who assign commonplace books have had a lot of success. It may be time to give that a try!
