2020-04-24Rural America
This image is of an old family homestead in rural Virginia. You'll notice that there are no people in the photograph. This is because, in rural areas of America, not much has changed. The COVID-19 pandemic barley even effects places like this, as self-sustained and poverty is the way of life every singe day. -
2020-04-24On the Job
This is a picture of me at work at the Rotllies Pizza and Pasta. I work mostly as a pizza cook and sometimes I dabble at working as a line cook. We have taken many extra precautions at work to help stop the spread. Everyone has a mask and gloves on. If you have never worked an oven with a facemask on let me tell you it is hot. We are working hard to keep the doors open and the support from our local community has been amazing. While we have been fortunate other businesses have fared far worse. There has been many businesses that cannot keep the doors open. Others have tried to open back up with the help of the government loans. These are strange times and we got to stick together. -

2020-04-24When Grandma Becomes the Teacher
Having two parents working full time as a high school teacher and a university director, my kids now rely on their grandma, a retired teacher, for classroom instruction. She does most of the day to day communication with their teachers, keeps them on a daily schedule, plans activities, and fixes lunch. Without an intergenerational household, my kids' daily schooling would be near impossible. -
2020-04-24"The Trump administration could soon allow doctors to discriminate against LGBTQ people" Vox News article.
As the death toll and rate of infections continue to rise, the Trump administration is working to repeal an Obama-era rule which made it illegal for healthcare workers to deny care based on someone's gender identity or sexual orientation. The implication is that LGBTQ+ could be turned away from hospitals in the midst of a global pandemic. -

2020-04-24#перемена
The podcast of the breathtaking “Change”, where our guest was Sveta Tsyganova (project “Secret Code of the Child”), which answered questions about education - and the dialogue was just wow-fire. And about the modern school, and about responsibility, and about the authoritarian and democratic [paternal] approach, and how to develop talents, and about sexuality, and everyone got so wound up that they did not notice how the hour passed. Listen, in general, to the podcast and come to Sveta to learn the "Secret Code of the Child", so my gut directly tells me that you may need this very much. -
2020-04-24Service Learning with Suffolk University Madrid Campus
[Giana worked as a volunteer in Haven for Hunger food pantry]“By exposing myself to people who were affected the most by the spread of COVID-19 I was able to recognize my privilege in a pandemic that affects everyone. This has made me immensely more aware of the resources I have access to day-to-day. Similarly to what is said by Dylan Santos on page 169 of Harkins, “it is one thing to theoretically learn about the struggles that others face; it’s another to hear from the people who are struggling and see what that looks like for each individual person”. With both of my service-learning experiences, I was able to interact with the people who are discarded, and especially in regard to COVID-19, so many of these people are viewed as a number or a statistic. Through this experience, I was able to humanize and finally see who was being affected the most. I have already signed up for future volunteer opportunities and I fully intend to continue expanding what I already know.” -

2020-04-24Native Americans Being Left Out of US Coronavirus Data and Labelled as 'Other'
“Native Americans are being left out of demographic data on the impact of the coronavirus across the US, raising fears of hidden health emergencies in one of the country’s most vulnerable populations. A Guardian analysis found that about 80% of state health departments have released some racial demographic data, which has already revealed stark disparities in the impact of Covid-19 in black and Latinx communities. But of those states, almost half did not explicitly include Native Americans in their breakdowns and instead categorized them under the label ‘other’” #IndigenousStories -

2020-04-24Corona Office Show Meme
This meme connects to a very funny scene in the show 'The Office'. This meme is poking fun at the executive order that mandates groups of 5 people as the maximum number of people that can be together. Making a joke out of this order might illustrate the lack of severity Americans are viewing the pandemic with. #VART3030 -
2020-04-24Making the worst of it.
Everyone on Earth has more time than they have had or will ever have again. Luckily for many people, they have been able to do so much. I have not been doing as much as I should be doing. But, that might be ok. I might as well do some relaxing while I have the change, but I also need to keep working so I don't lose too much time. There is much to do and much time to do nothing as well. -
2020-04-24COVID's Effect on Movies
As COVID-19 began to spread rapidly, the film industry has had to make changes not only in production, but release dates. Many film productions have been suspended until further notice since March. There have also been some movies that have recently announced they will be going to Demand on release day. As of now, the film industry has stopped, with no tellings when production will pick back up. -
2020-04-24Church donations have plunged because of the coronavirus. Some churches won’t survive.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, churches are being hit hard. They are facing a decrease in donations, making it difficult for them to stay afloat. This is due to their masses being cancelled or moved online. Congregations are beginning to make difficult decisions of whether or not to close their doors or cut the work of their staff. #REL101 -
2020-04-24Face masks made by Keen shoes.
I recently ordered a pair of shoes from the Keen shoe company. When they arrived, I opened the box to find four stylish face masks made by Keen. The card suggested I keep some for family members and give some to any health care workers I know. For me, this is an indication that face masks have gone mainstream-- they are now a branding opportunity, an opportunity to build customer loyalty. I've been using flimsy blue medical-style masks for the past couple of weeks. They are about to fall apart, so I appreciated Keen sending me sturdier masks. This was a pleasant surprise. I may be wearing these for months to come. -

2020-04-24Personal Story of Lockdown
As I write this I have no idea as to how long we have been socially isolating. I have not been keeping count of the days. I have been writing a diary of sorts but mainly just ordinary daily events not a 'pandemic' diary. My last physical contact and close encounter with friends was a Saturday afternoon and we made plans to see each other soon. Just two days later it was apparent that we would not see each other for a very long time. Quite suddenly the world was closed. How did I feel when the implications of the lockdown became apparent? At first it was just social isolation and I was sad as I wouldn't be able to see my family and hug them. Then very quickly the closure of libraries was announced – that really hurt as reading books is one of my main pleasures. An actual book that is not an e book on the laptop. Frustratingly I could see a book I had ordered – one that was in the middle of a detective series I was enjoying – through the window on the shelf inside the library tantlisingly close. And it was not available as an e book! But I felt I could just carry on as sort of normal. I would adapt and possibly go through my own library of books on my own shelves. Then they closed the beaches and told us we couldn't drive to a trail to walk. A state of emergency was declared and the borders were closed. The full implications of what we were facing were becoming alarmingly apparent. I worried about my friends and family and their health situations. I worried about my own health as I have a lung disease. I felt almost overwhelming concern for everyone that was facing economic hardship and how people were going to cope. On my own home front my husband and I were facing our own difficult scenario. He was about to start six weeks of daily cancer radiation treatment. At the end of January he had undergone a fourteen hour surgical operation to remove a tumour located in his sinus – and replaced with facial reconstruction. He had his upper jaw bone removed and replaced with a bone taken from his leg and a skin graft taken from his thigh. He was discharged after nine days a remarkable recovery that says much about his determination and courage. Now we had the radiation to face. A daily journey round trip of 130 kilometres. Then they decided to double some of the treatments six hours apart so we had to come home and go back as there was nowhere to wait out the time in town – 260 kilometres round trip in a day. But somehow in all this apparent chaos in the world for us there was a silver lining. Because of the lockdown the roads were relatively empty – car parking at the hospital was easy and free. Gas prices had fallen so the financial burden of all the travelling was eased. My husband did most of these trips for treatment on his own. He enjoyed the freedom of the open road, had the music turned up loud and the heating full on. And I wasn't yacking in his ear! And for me on a very personal level I realised that when the full implications of the lockdown became apparent and I was not going anywhere or doing very much I felt a strange euphoria. I realised that for a very long time I had suffered a sort of anxiety a feeling of stress to always be doing more. I happen to not look my age so when I complained about tiredness my family often instructed me to 'use it or lose it' Grandma! “You are only as old as you feel” has some scientific validation and I never really felt as old as my advancing years but it was often a bit of a struggle. I am a photographer not professional it is a hobby but I sold some of my work at the local farmers market. So I always had personal goals and work to do. The real pleasure was in going out into the countryside and walking the beaches and photographing the landscape and wildlife. Without me giving it a conscious thought when the lockdown became strict my anxiety fell away. It just wasn't there anymore. I didn't need to step up to the mark all I needed to do was stay on my property. I am fortunate that I live on the edge of a tidal inlet so I look over water and the wildlife comes to me! Facing west I enjoy stunning sunsets. I have found myself relishing being able to relax and do stuff as I felt like it. Spacing out the things I wanted to do and taking the time to enjoy even the mundane stuff. My concentration levels changed my sleep times changed. I always resisted an afternoon nap it seemed such an 'elderly' thing to do. Now I was having a lovely nap after lunch and still unbelievably enjoying a long nights sleep. My energy levels changed – they got better! Books and movies I thought I would enjoy I didn't, but I would spend longer just sitting outside watching the waves or the clouds, listening to the birds and watching the squirrels. Catching the moment when an otter swam by or a bald eagle flew past with its catch. Because there wasn't anything else to do with my time I was 'using it not losing it' a completely different concept to the original cosh it was intended to be. If I could step away from the feeling of guilt for what others are suffering I can only say that I am relishing the ease of enjoying my days. This has also been enhanced by the support of dear friends and family who have provided meals and treats when cooking and shopping have been too much of a task. I have never eaten so well. My son, daughter-in-law and two grandchildren have collectively and individually been the source of much comfort to us both. Now we have had the news of the tragic shooting that took place in Nova Scotia last weekend. Everything staggers into jagged shards of grief and dismay. I can find no words to describe the anguish we are feeling for the victims and families of this random rampage of violence. As always in these situations we try to understand why it happened and as always it is locked inside the perpetrators head. In one way or another all Nova Scotians 'know' each other and we are all affected . We will continue to be a kind and compassionate community supporting each other through these incredibly difficult times. I feel I am living in parallel universes. The anxiety of the news of the pandemic and how it is affecting individuals and families in Canada and the world. The trauma of a mass tragedy in Nova Scotia that has a profound affect on so many individuals and families and collectively on all of us. The incredible feeling of love and warmth for my community as I see so many people stepping up to the mark and helping and supporting one another. Watching my beloved husband go through gruelling treatment with so much courage and determination so we can have a future together. And here I am thankful beyond words that I am here in this place at this time. I will not live in fear. I will cherish this time as it is so precious. We mostly live taking the future for granted and now we know we can't. It is fragile and cannot be pinned down only lived fully moment to moment in love and hope. This is what I have found. -
2020-04-24Asaltan minivan que repartía alimentos de primera necesidad en menos de un minuto en plena crisis del COVID-19
En la ciudad de Piura - Perú, tres delincuentes armados y a bordo de una mototaxi, asaltaron al chofer de una minivan que repartía productos de primera necesidad en las tiendas, y se robaron toda la mercadería en tan solo 47 segundos. Ocurrió a plena luz del día en la ciudad de Talara (Piura) y vecinos grabaron el asalto. Las impactantes imágenes muestran como los ladrones llegan al lugar y uno de ellos neutraliza al chofer de la unidad, lo pone de rodillas y obliga a que coloque las manos sobre su cabeza. Esto es aprovechado por sus otros dos secuaces, quienes rápidamente abren la puerta trasera de la minivan para robarse las cajas de mercadería y subirlas a la mototaxi que manejan, ya con el botín, dos de los malhechores fugaron en la mototaxi, mientras que el tercero escapó caminando y apuntando a todos lados con el arma que llevaba en la mano. Vecinos registraron el hecho y se mostraron atemorizados al presenciar el robo. -

The image is a meme. It alludes to the scene in Avengers: Endgame when Thanos has to sacrifice Gamora, his daughter, in order to achieve his goals. In the actual movie, Thanos tells a younger Gamora that it cost everything. In the meme, Thanos is seen telling Gamora it cost grandma as he is seen with waves in his hair and Apple Airpods in his ears. In relation to the Coronavirus, this meme is aimed at young individuals prioritizing their looks and style above the health of their loved ones. -
2020-04-24European Joke about US response
A British doctor says: "In Britain, medicine is so advanced that we cut off a man's liver, put it in another man, and in 6 weeks, he is looking for a job." The German doctor says: "That's nothing, in Germany we took part of a brain, put it in another man, and in 4 weeks he is looking for a job." The Russian doctor says: "Gentlemen, we took half a heart from a man, put it in another's chest, and in 2 weeks he is looking for a job." The American doctor laughs: "You are all behind us. A few years ago, we took a man with no brain, no heart, and no liver and made him President. Now, the whole country is looking for a job!" -

2020-04-24Paint situation is a bit out of control.
I've been letting my son Juliían Peralta-Kole paint everyday. He's been painting multiple times a day for a week now, but he seems less interested in painting on paper, and more curious about different uses for paint and painting with his fingers. I used painting to earn myself a brief reprieve this morning, and before I could finish my coffee he had paint all over his hands. I cleaned it up, and now the paint is put away. I'll only get it out when I'm able to watch him carefully. -

1yo Julián Peralta-Kole looks on as big sister Maya (5yo) joins her weekly Friday Zoom class offered by Tempe Public Schools. Her Zoom classes take place every week on Fridays at 10 AM. It's always a moment that we look forward to, because she gets to connect with her classmates and teacher. Class activities range from singing songs, show and tell, writing, and practicing "sticky," words (common words that are hard to sight read, so her teacher encourages them to memorize i.e. "stick" them in their brain). Maya attends Scales Technology Academy near the intersection of 5th St. and Beck in Tempe, AZ. -
