Give your story a title.

Passport

What sort of object is this: text story, photograph, video, audio interview, screenshot, drawing, meme, etc.?

meme shared on Facebook

Tell us a story; share your experience. Describe what the object or story you've uploaded says about the pandemic, and/or why what you've submitted is important to you.

Covid-19 has caused trips, weddings, reunions, and cruises to be canceled. Instead, what we all have to look forward to is wandering out homes if you are lucky enough to have a home. This meme jokes about the daily boredom we are all feeling. It is a nod to the trips and events missed because of the circumstance. It also brings to light that we do not all have the same experience during shelter-in-place. For those of us living in a large home we at least have the option of exploring different views. For those who are less fortunate shelter-in-place is an entirely different experience.

Use one-word hashtags (separated by commas) to describe your story. For example: Where did it originate? How does this object make you feel? How does this object relate to the pandemic?
