Successful Homemade Cake Donuts
In May of 2020, it was the middle of the pandemic and I wanted to try and make homemade donuts. Everyone else in lockdown was making homemade bread, but I wanted to do something a little more sweet. With that, I searched on Amazon for molds that someone could use to make the circular donuts. I knew without them, the donuts would not come out well. Once the molds were delivered and using a box of cake mix, I tried to make donuts. Now, you would think the second picture of Devil's Food favored donuts was the first batch, but no it wasn't. My first batch came from Funfetti cake mix (my favorite boxed cake mix), but it was a disaster. The donuts got stuck in the mold and would not come out until I used a butter knife. It left a mess because only part of the donut came out sometimes. I was disheartened because since I had time on my hands, I thought I could make donuts because the recipe I found was easy to follow. I gave up for awhile but decided later on to try again. In January of 2021, the date for the second photo of the Devil's Food donuts, I succeeded. I had sprayed the molds thoroughly and took my Mom's suggestion to spread flour around in the molds. I was proud that my second batch of donuts came out successfully! -

Self-portrait with mask, May 2020
During the pandemic, I often walk in Brooklyn's historic Green-Wood Cemetery with its rolling hills, lovely views, and fantastic old monuments; it's also where my grandparents are buried. I've always loved the beautiful, timeless melancholy of the place, but during the pandemic, it was also a strange comfort to read the headstones and think of the people buried all around me. Life, sickness, crisis, death are all just part of being human. These dead humans also lived, suffered, died, and now it's just another version of the same thing. The self-portrait included here is based on a photo I took of myself in Green-Wood as I wandered there one day in April 2020, looking to get away from lockdown and to find company among the graves. -

"If Someone Shares the ‘Plandemic’ Video, How Should You Respond?" - The Atlantic Monthly
The COVID-19 pandemic and its associated economic shock have created fertile conditions for the development and spread of conspiracy theories, especially about the nature of the pandemic. These conspiracy theories have begun to permeate the lives of many Americans, disrupting personal relationships through arguments and disgust. In an article for the Atlantic Monthly, journalist Joe Pinsker provides readers with advice on what to do if someone in their personal circle shares conspiracy theory videos, particularly the Plandemic documentary. Rather than be combative and insulting, Pinsker advises his readers to be emphatic and understanding. This allows readers to pivot the conversation toward addressing the conspiracy theorist's concerns, while also not causing them to be more entrenched in their positions. When these tactics do not work, however, Pinsker advises readers to give on them as a lost cause. -

Graduating in the Age of COVID-19
I graduated from Texas A&M with my PhD in Anthropology in May 2020. The graduation was in early May. I had defended my dissertation in late January and was working as a graduate assistant at Texas A&M and as an instructor at Blinn College when the COVID-19 came to Texas in March 2020. My jobs went online for a month, then I was activated with the National Guard on 18April2020. In this photograph from early May, I am attending my remote graduation ceremony from my workspace at the Region 6 COIVD-19 Response headquarters in Houston, TX. -

Humans of Covid-19 AU: Bobo Matjila
“My social life has become non-existent, but my relationships are still quite strong. Isolation has forced me to be a better friend because it has required me to check up on people in ways that I never did before. For me this feels a bit like a break from the constant rat-race of life (but not a vacation). Everything feels slower, which I kind of like. I’m no longer forced to go to events or go out. I'm an introvert, so I love spending time at home. Life feels simple, and slow, and more intentional now. I’ve been able to catch up on lots of reading. I am also enjoying being able to walk down the street and not be harassed. I expected something like this to happen sooner or later. I always had the sense that the pace at which this city runs is not sustainable, so pretty soon it will collapse. I've been mentally and emotionally prepared for this to happen. Everyday people are dying, suffering, and in the depths of misery, which I feel is the norm of the human condition. Peace is the exception. I think that’s why I’m mentally not so affected by the pandemic, because I don't have hopeful expectations for humanity. If we all agreed on the basics that homelessness and suffering is unnecessary, then we could get rid of all of this in a couple of months and save the future of humanity. There’s a lot we can do to prevent this, I just don't think we will do it.” Instagram post on Bobo Matjila, podcast host & writer, and her experience during the pandemic, which was created by a psychology student living in Melbourne who was interested to hear about how COVID-19 was impacting on different peoples’ lives. -

Window
I am including this selection of two photos of my bedroom window, as this has been the dominant view and my sole saving grace throughout lockdown. The photo on the left was taken in my first week of lockdown on the twenty third of March, which was the first week that I began to stay at home as I am asthmatic and was very concerned about my own health making me more vulnerable. The second photo was taken on the first of June, and marks ten weeks since my own ‘lockdown’ began, I have somewhat lost track of the various stages of lightening of restrictions as I was still mostly avoiding going out up until the point when the second photo was taken. In many ways my asthma and anxiety made this experience pretty traumatising, I stopped walking my dog because I people kept patting her and I had too much anxiety about the conflict of constantly asking people not too, and I was worried about the contact risk to myself from people touching my dog. After the rate of community transmission stabilised, I felt safer going out to places, but then I found the secondary anxiety of people behaving in rude and hostile ways towards me in public due to my obvious coughing or wheezing from asthma after I had an obvious asthma attack in Officeworks. My isolation has thus been pretty intense and long lasting compared to some others and combined with anxiety has induced an intense sensation of feeling trapped in my bedroom. The access to sunlight and fresh air through this window, as well as my beautiful view has been a literal visual lifeline, I found myself taking lots of photos of the window and my view. In many ways I feel like this has made me far more attentive than I have ever had the opportunity to be to the changes between night and day, and the slow seasonal change into winter. -

Virtual Girl Scout Meeting
When the stay at home order was called in California, our Brownie Troop was planning for an overnight experience that weekend that had to be cancelled. Then our local Girl Scout council announced the closure of all activities through the rest of March. As the weeks progressed and it became clear all of planned activities would be postponed, we switched to a virtual platform as an experiment. During our first meeting, we just played games over Zoom, because we weren't sure how valuable and fun it would be virtually, but were pleasantly surprised how much the girls liked it. Over Mother's Day weekend, we held a virtual meeting where we had the girls make a COVID-19 virtual capsule, as well as make a Mother's Day craft for an important woman in their lives. We dropped off the supplies to each girls' house (no contact) and facilitated making the craft over zoom. -

A Loss of Words for a Season That Barely Started
This year was supposed to be my third year in swim season. Being in varsity swim since freshman year, I've always looked up to give everything I got in my races and maybe even try to break at least one record by my senior year. With COVID-19 cancelling our entire season of swim, I was shocked in many ways because I have never expected the sport I'm passionate about to be cancelled. Not only was this tragic, but also all the hard work that I put into to make CIF 2020 went down the drain. I don't even have a pool in my backyard and when the pool opens back up again, I will be as sluggish as ever. COVID-19 affected my physical abilities in general and as I attempt to exercise with different methods besides swimming such as the popular Chloe Ting's workout, I barely saw any result and gained 7 lbs in the process. Thank you COVID-19 for ruining my swim experience. -

A Birthday To Remember: Celebrating With A 50 Participant Surprise Zoom Party!
We were invited to partake in a surprise Zoom call for a dear friend's 39th birthday. Our friend's partner asked all attendees to arrive to the virtual party 10 minutes before the official start time of 7 p.m. with a favorite celebratory drink in hand. Over 50 participants arrived on time for the call and stayed as long as 2.5 hours. Friends connected via the messaging chat function of Zoom, as well as through live video. Since we are unable to show our love for someone in person during the COVID-19 shelter-in-place, it is heartwarming that people still choose to show up the best they can for those they love. -

KNPR Summary of Megadroughts
Reporting from radio station KNPR (88.9) “State of Nevada” program they are specifically there to give the news/information of what is happening in Nevada. With the news being broadcast on the radio they tend to talk about business-related news, politics in Nevada, and in this week’s radio news they were talking about “Megadroughts in Nevada” in the beginning. A megadrought is a shortage of water in the land causing it to become dry usually lasting much longer than a normal drought. In KNPR radio news they discuss how Nevada we have been in a drought, a megadrought to be specific for about two decades. Listening to this week’s broadcast news a summary of this topic will be given in the following order such as the topic being discussed, who were the participants, the specific issues deliberated, terms the program discussed, and what were the points made by the participants. As regards to listening to KNPR news program, the topic of one of this week’s broadcast was about megadroughts in Nevada. Megadroughts have been happening all over the western areas of the United States of America. To be more precise it has been happening more in northern California, northern Nevada, Utah, some parts of Colorado, and northern New Mexico. In the broadcast, they explain what causes that megadroughts have come every 5 centuries. They determine that by looking at the tree rings records looking at the moisture of them. In the past megadroughts occur once in five hundred years stated in the broadcast. By looking at the past megadroughts, this megadrought in Nevada that was talked about in the broadcast is confirmed to be in the pace of becoming like those past megadroughts. This topic was being talked about in KNPR radio news to explain to its viewers and fellow Nevadans that this is a serious topic to talk about since it will affect them in the long run. It brings attention to this topic making fellow Nevadans more concerned with this dilemma. KNPR “State of Nevada” program helps this problem come to light and with the help of the participant gain knowledge and information about this topic. The participant named A. Park Williams talked about the topic of this week being megadroughts in Nevada with the interviewer being Joe Schoenmann. A. Park Williams is a professor at Columbia University and wrote an article about megadroughts in Northern America in the journal of the science magazine. Through the interview in the KNPR radio as he explains how this drought in Nevada can go to 21 years or more considering that the past megadroughts could last 30 to 100 years stated by professor Williams. It is important for Nevada and its residents to hear about this professor opinion, knowledge, and wise-words about the topic of megadroughts. He states that Nevada is in the midst of a megadrought that has gone through 20 years that could last up to 80 more years affecting the water system and environment of Nevada and other states as well. Professor Williams goes through the issues with the megadroughts in more depth throughout the broadcast. In more depth of Professor Willams explaining the issues of Nevada, he explains what the issues deliberated in KNPR. KNPR gave the chance to professor Williams to describe the issues of Nevada with megadroughts. The issues were that if this megadrought continues it will not only affect the environment but as well the way of our life. Water is the main constraint of life, therefore, being very valuable and should be sacred when coming to it. Humans have had their addition to megadrought increasing causing climate change and it is a contributing factor to the megadrought. Even though professor Willams declares that climate change has had an impact role in the temperature it is behind 2.5 to 3 degrees Fahrenheit warmer than it would be without humans causing climate change. Therefore the megadrought would have had to happen, either way, but the human is still a contributing factor to the megadrought. He states that this drought is becoming an issue becoming it growing to be a long-lasting megadrought being a huge issue. The issue is climate change is affecting either a small or large amount to increase the possibilities of a megadrought. Coming to the end of this interview it makes the audience think about what kind of concepts this theme goes through. Tying this segment of megadroughts in Nevada the course concepts as one of the viewers make us think they are talking about is state cooperation. State cooperation is another form of is a system where the system of government in which powers/policies assignments are shared between states and national government and interchange cooperatively and altogether solve common problems. The government of different states working together toward a common goal. Megadroughts is a common trait between Northern California, Northern Nevada, part of Colorado, Northern New Mexico, and Utah. This is shared between these states because they have a river following through these states which they use the source from to live and sustain their environment. Since this is a common problem for the western side of the United States they should share federal guidelines for this issue and follow guidelines for how to solve this dilemma. The federal government should give some kind of tax revenue to these states in order to find a solution to this problem since it will eventually affect them greatly. Even though professor Williams didn’t make a statement about state cooperation he made very good points in this broadcast. Some good points that Professor Williams made throughout this broadcast were very much knowledgeable and helpful information that helps the audience truly know about megadroughts. One of the good points was that the cause of the megadrought was from climate change. He stated that humans have an effect on megadroughts making them maybe last longer than usual. Another point he made was that what made this drought was that it had a more spacial extent than the last past megadroughts. He pointed with the spatial extent statement because global warming events are happening not occurring in Nevada but all across the west. Making it known to other states that it was affecting them too. He points out throughout the interview that Nevada should be realistic about this issue since it will be affecting them for a long time. Professor Williams mainly pointed out that he wants to be able to anticipate those climate changes so that the megadrought could come to an end. Stephanie Morales summarizing from KNPR station -

Quarantine Thoughts
March 25 This time has truly been a busy and challenging one. It is worrying and stressful. I believe that the 24-hour news cycle is part of the cause for this stress. There is no escape from the virus. I used to watch a lot of sports, but now there is nothing on TV. All ESPN has become is how Covid-19 is affecting the sports world. All anyone talks about now is the virus, nothing else really is being focused on. While this is a very negative view of this whole situation, I have observed one positive myself from this whole ordeal. I have been able to spend more time with my family and this has made weathering this whole situation easier. But this does make me feel for those who are not in the same situation as me. There are many whose parents are still working outside the home because their job requires them to or to help those with the virus. To those people I offer my gratitude and wishes for their well-being. April 15 What I have found most interesting about these times has been how hard it is to do work. I really did not think it would be this challenging. I expected some change, but it really is much harder to concentrate and get motivated in these times. But the more I think about it the more it really makes sense as to why it is so hard to do work and focus. At Fordham I would normally go to the library for 2 or 3 hours a day and be able to focus and tune out the rest of the world and just focus on the tasks at hand. It wasn't hard to focus back then. My biggest worry was the next exam or my GPA. A pandemic wasn't on my mind always in the background. This pandemic makes it hard to tune out the world. It is all over the news and all anyone talks about, so it’s just hard to think about anything else. It is also harder to do work at home. At the library I was there for one reason, to do work and I left when I finished. It is different at home. There are distractions everywhere and it is not a place I am accustomed to doing so much work. It was a place I came to relax and take a break. This whole ordeal has really been an adjustment. But I count myself among the lucky ones. My challenges are mundane in the face of what others are facing. All I can truly say is that this is truly a crazy world we live in today. It is like a movie playing out before our eyes. April 21 Over the last week it looks like things are starting to improve a little bit in New York. We are making progress against the virus and the curve has begun to flatten according to Governor Cuomo. We still have a long way to go though. But hopefully this trend continues, and New York will be able to go back to some sense of normalcy this summer. Not every state is like New York though. Not all states are taking the proper precautions about Covid-19 or are truly taking it seriously. New York is thinking of opening in June. Other states are considering reopening next week. This is truly concerning. All the leaders of these states seem to care about is the economy. They want to open back up as soon as possible to restart the economy. What these leaders fail to consider though is that if they reopen too early the economy would be even worse than it is now and so many more lives will be lost. But they do not seem to think about the future, just the present. April 22 I thought I would post an update today. I have not left the house frequently since the Covid-19 outbreak started but today I did. While looking out the car window I was truly shocked at the amount of people I saw not wearing masks. There were construction workers, runners, and bikers all not wearing masks, even though the governor mandated them days ago. These individuals looked like they were coming in close proximity with others, so I was surprised they were not taking the proper precautions. While I understand those, who cannot get their hands on a mask due to supply issues, I believe that there must be some way to cover your face to protect yourself and others. A simple bandanna or even a scarf could go a long way toward protecting yourself. To me this seemed to show that some people are not taking the pandemic seriously and are ignoring it. May 9 Today I wanted to discuss a particular issue that I have observed during the Covid-19 crisis. This is the issue of ableism in society. I was encouraged to read more into this topic after a classmate had mentioned it a couple of weeks back. Ableism is already an issue in society today, so you may wonder if it can really get worse. It indeed has gotten worse since the Covid-19 crisis has begun. The reason ableism in has gotten worse in society, actually has to do with something called a ventilator. Many states have found themselves woefully unprepared for this crisis, lacking many key products. One of these key products is a device called a ventilator. Ventilators are important because they can provide mechanical ventilation for people whose lungs have shut down due to an injury or infection, such as Covid-19. Ventilators were in short supply towards the peak of this crisis, but the issue has mostly been solved for the time being. At the beginning of the crisis however, some state officials tried to conserve their dwindling supplies of ventilators. Some states took this effort too far though. They enacted policies that could deny individuals a ventilator based on if they have certain underlying conditions such as dementia, cystic fibrosis, or “severe” intellectual disabilities. Upon reading into these policies, I was highly disturbed. We are deciding who lives and who dies based on these policies. In a way we are judging who is more “worthy” of life. The way these policies are written makes it is clear who these policy writers are considering more “worthy” and less “worthy”. These policy writers clearly believe that disabled individuals are less “worthy” of life then the rest of mankind. By denying disabled individuals a ventilator, you are denying them life and enforcing the notion that these individuals are not “worth” keeping alive. I truly believe this is wrong in every way. These policies blatantly violate the rights of the disabled and treat them as “inferior” to the rest of society. -

Comment Section and Human Nature
I'm a member of several community (some smaller, some wider) Facebook groups. I am not overly active, especially when discussion occur that get heated. In this screenshot, someone asked if anyone actually knew anyone with Covid-19, as opposed to just a friend of a friend. Within this particular group, there is a large contingent of people that refer to the pandemic as "plandemic" and sincerely believe that the government, or the left, or whatever, are using this pandemic to further control the public and ruin the economy. Many of the respondents to this question (over 200 at the time I took this screenshot) emphasized that they knew of no one, and it was being blown out of proportion. I found this particular interaction in the comments interesting, however, because the first person that, in all caps, stated that it was a sham, immediately offered condolences to the person who's friend almost died. It reminded me that people will say- or yell in caps- in social media and get all worked up, but they can be kind. I don't know if this person changed their mind about it being a sham after "hearing" about a near death, but it shows how crazy comment sections can be. -

Gallup, New Mexico, Shuts People Out, Preventing Navajo Patrons From Getting Supplies
“The outbreak on the huge Navajo reservation, the nation's largest with 175,000 people, have made people in Gallup nervous. Many see hints of the long-running racism that has divided people in the town for centuries. ‘They targeted the people around here. They're going to be coming to Gallup to shop, so they put a stop to that,’ said Johnnie Henry, who said two of his relatives on the Navajo Nation were apparently infected with COVID-19 while working at a hospital in Gallup. ‘We kind of look at each other and say, are we the ones bringing it? No, it's all over. There's a lot of people who want to go back into Gallup, but they're afraid that they're going to call us names ... say that we are the carriers.’” -

With the rest of the school year canceled at Sacramento’s McClatchy High School, the school staff is making sure that the class of 2020 doesn’t leave without fanfare. Students drove slowly through William Land Park, cars decorated and horns honking, as staff members dressed in the school’s red and white attire cheered and handed out signs for students to display in front of their homes. “These kids aren’t getting a ceremony, so we wanted to make sure we still celebrated them somehow. And it’s a chance for us to say goodbye since we won’t see them again at school. It’s so heartbreaking,” said a teacher. -

New Realities
When visiting my mother this weekend, we decided to take a trip to the gas station to get some drinks. My mom is immunocompromised and takes Covid-19 very seriously. She said if I planned on going into the convenience store I had to wear a mask. She keeps masks like this in the glove box as well as hand sanitizer in her car. She puts on the mask and sanitizer before she enters the store, and puts sanitizer on again when she returns home, before she goes inside. -

College Student Has to Move Out of the Dorms
I first heard about Coronavirus during my spring break freshman year of college. I didn't think anything of it and definitely did not predict how the rest of the semester would go. I was talking about it with one my friends from back home in Scottsdale and heard that her university had cancelled in-person classes and was transitioning to online for the rest of the semester. This was extremely shocking to me, and I couldn't even fathom staying home past spring break, let alone the rest of the school year. A couple days later, my college, the University of Arizona, did the same. We had a couple days after spring break with no classes for the university to make the transition to online classes. After that, it was time for online learning. These times were extremely unpredictable, and no one knew what was coming next. No one, especially I, never thought that we would have to move out of the dorms and finish the rest of the semester completely online. That was what came next. I was devastated. I mean, I would be missing out on my first-year college experience that I would never be able to make up. I would lose my complete freedom. I would lose the ability to make new friends. I would lose the ability to spend time with the friends I had already made. I was so upset, and at the same time I had to adapt to this new normal. It was definitely not easy. My friends and I set up a date that we would come back to campus to hang out one last time and move out. This day was so depressing, but we tried to make the most of it. Pictured is us on that day. From left to right, Val, Anna, me, and Kiera. I miss them so much right now. I'm writing this at the end of the semester, just having finished the majority of my finals. And I was right, this semester was definitely not easy. I faced an extreme lack of motivation and depression topped by loads of assignments to complete. But what I can say is that while quarantine is still not over and probably will not be over for a while, I'm proud to have finished the school year remotely. I had to adapt to such a unique situation, and I did. I'm sure this story is similar to many college students out there, but I'm glad I was able to share mine, and I hope to look back on this in the future. -
