Life In Isolation: The Coronavirus... Michael Gaines
I have run my business from my home for years. The bracelet manufacturing is done by ladies in their own homes so there has not been a huge shift other than my assistant staying away (which means I smoke cigars and drink bourbon in the office a great deal now!). This has brought my wholesale accounts to a standstill so I greatly miss the travel, speaking with my stores and interaction with my sales reps. A business associate and I will be premiering a bawdy Facebook live show tonight and doing it a few times a week with silly games, drinking, creating talk segments and chances to win or buy our products. Aside from business changes, I miss dining out and socializing. I even cleaned my own damn house (Oh the horror!! ;P) and found where my cleaning lady was cutting conrners. I do laugh my ass off at people in the grocery stores even more than prior to the virus but have seen some wonderful acts of kindness as well. I look at this with the sangfroid "this too shall pass" but keep things locked and loaded in case shit hits the fan. -

Life In Isolation: The Coronavirus... Megan Thorne
I had to be quarantined on March 9, because I got pretty sick, so by this point I was running out of things to clean and, considering I haven't been able to attend any of my art classes, I decided to do something fun and make a little baby Yoda! It's all about the little things to make you happy during times like this! -

Life In Isolation: The Coronavirus... Matt Durham
Though I am quarantined, I'm still able to work both my jobs since one doesn't interact with people and the other is considered as an essential. The only thing I'm stressed about is not having a gym but right now trying to turn my backyard into a gym. Ha-Ha -

Post on Covid-19 and Interactives
From Emma Rocha, Curatorial Assistant at the New Bedford Whaling Museum: "I’m currently taking Introduction to Museum Studies at Harvard Extension School as the first of two classes I need to take before I can apply to their museum studies graduate program. I chose this program because it is almost entirely online and I can take one class a semester which enables me to keep working full time – I wouldn’t be able to pay for the classes otherwise. I am very lucky that I chose an online program because it has not been disrupted by Covid-19. One of my closest friends recently got accepted into law school (I’m so proud of her!) and she is still waiting to find out if she will be starting fall semester on campus or online, which is quite stressful for her. The class I am taking has a few participation elements, which are attending and participating in the optional online sections via Zoom (optional because they know some students are in different time zones) and posting on the classes social media platform, called YellowDig. I posted this on YellowDig because it fits in with the variety of posts we can make: comments or questions on readings, articles about happenings in the museum field, and thoughts on museums we work at or have visited. I really enjoy reading what my classmates are thinking about, because they have so many varied perspectives on museums and it is all fascinating!" -

Life In Isolation: The Coronavirus... Amber Gowen 2
An instacart screenshot seems most apt as I navigate how to figure out how to get the largest amount of needed items in the fewest outings with limited contact with people this pay period. Trying to stay safe and healthy against and invisible enemy that seems tailor made to target your weaknesses and living with people who are still required to go into work is a feeling unprecedented anxiety and vulnerability. -

Funding Received
Announcement by the West End Museum in Boston that they have received funding from the National Endowment of the Humanities through the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act of 2020. The post discusses what the museum hopes to do with these funds, and how the funds will support them and their staff during the pandemic. As museums struggle to remain financially solvent through closures, grants and other funds have become a vital lifeline. This is especially true for small institutions that lack the large funds of major institutions. -

Help History Emerge Strong
Tweet from the Minnesota Historical Society that metions the financial challenges they face as an organization. The webpage asks for people to donate, and notes that early donations will be matched thanks to a grant funded by the MNHS Executive Council.

As they reopen, they continue to face these financial challenges. https://web.archive.org/web/20200701142946/https%3A%2F%2Ftwitter.com%2Fmnhs%2Fstatus%2F1277647526141853701 -

Letter to the Community
Letter posted on the Science Museum of Minnesota website, addressing the killing of George Floyd by police officers in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Museums and cultural heritage sights, especially those in Minnesota, have sought to stand in solidarity with protestors demanding justice for George Floyd. This has been complicated by social distancing and pandemic related closures that prevent museums from physically holding events tied to issues of race in the United States. This particular letter highlights the museum's own complicity in perpetuating racial injustice. -
