You might’ve noticed life’s a bit bleak right now. Most people I know, myself included, are glued to their phones looking at doomsday algorithm after doomsday algorithm, Trump fuck up after Trump fuck up. I check the confirmed cases and death count every morning, while I drink my coffee, after I go on my jog and before I teach my classes on Zoom.
My point is that these are not normal times. And during these not normal times, I want to celebrate the people who are writing on their blogs and on Medium because this is where I’m finding stories that feel the most human, vulnerable, transformative and emotionally impactful. So I am going to be, as often as I can, sharing links to these blogs as part of this COVID-19 Diaries series.
