humanity
Advocates, icons, influencers, and more. All about humanity.
Thinking of my plans that CO-VID has cancelled, I feel a bad kind of butterflies.
Today (07/05/20) would have marked the opening show of a site-specific, audience interactive that two of my beautiful friends and I were in creative development for prior to CO-VID. Whilst I'm grateful that I'm performing in an independent theatre companies virtual cabaret show tomorrow night on Zoom, my heart still feels heavy in mourning the loss of another show.

I Can See Clearly Now!!
👋🏾 There, It has been a minuet since we last had a chat in this way. I hope the Rona is not giving you to much grief? If no than, we are both in great company. Despite the over one million people who have been caught in her tentacles, and even worse, taken an L, I am so happy right now, I am not one of them. Yes, to answer you question, quarantine has me, like most feeling some kind of way. On one hand, I have never been so excited to be in the house. I have not been involved in political, community or just 💩💩💩 in general; BUT then its the fact, I can’t engage with the folks, or just do the things I actually do like, and what little I can do, requires I wear a face protection. May I just right here, tell you how much, I hate wearing face protection? Back in the day, when I worked on construction sites, I use to get countless reprimands for not wearing face protection. Crazy 😝😜 thing I would do was keep it close, so when the big shots showed up, I could just throw it on. AGAIN, let me answer you question, Yes I am obeying the rules? When I go out, despite my hating it, I still wear it; but because i hate it so much, It has forced me limit how much I go out, which has had me in the house these two plus months really working on me, which is what I would like to catch you up on.

When you come Face to Face with Covid-19
The Covid-19 pandemic has struck the world with a terrific speed. Every country and economy has had to contend with the adverse effects of this undying epidemic. Not only so, its onslaught is terrific, leaving trail of death and agony behind it. The sad thing about this disease is the fact that it spreads among the people through avenues which are so hard to contain so that many countries are forced to turn to stringent measures.

Accommodations for Deaf and Hard of Hearing People Explained and Exposed
But those two accommodations just scratch the surface of the many products we use daily. Then there’s the “dark” side of accommodations – the denial, the abuse of, and the scarcity of these services.

Social Distancing 101: The Unknown
We're all living in it right now. And truth be told, we've all probably felt moments of uncertainty in our lives before. They happen when we're forced to decide what we want to spend the rest of our lives doing or whether or not to move on from someone we know we're not meant to be with. But we can also be honest in saying, the kind of uncertainty binding the entire world together is a little different than any other kind of uncertainty we've experienced before.

A TEST OF SANITY.
To say that life over the last two months has been challenging, is an understatement. The existence we now live in isn't called life, it's called survival. We wake up everyday, thankful for just that. We pray that we don't cough, and we pray harder, that no one around us coughs. We take a look in the mirror thinking that if we have the Corona Virus, it will somehow show up on our faces, knowing that this virus doesn't show symptoms like the chicken pox, for example.

I went for a run outside, and it felt strange in the age of COVID-19.
Now that I finished my final exams for the term and year, I can take a break or time off. This break feels welcome, and it's a time to keep moving in other ways. I'm picking up learning French again, learning James Bond on the guitar and spending more time reading. I was fortunate to be able to go outside today and glad I had more time. I kept my distance, was protected and tried to be a friendly runner that switches sides to aid others. I had a goal to run 10 km, and I've been leading up to this by running from 2km and increasing it gradually each time.

We need to keep our distances
I am 38 years old with cerebral palsy, and my lungs are underdeveloped, so with the threat of the Coronavirus in the air, the proposition of going outside is a scary one. I am very grateful for the extra food stamps doing this pandemic, but it is tough to use them doing this crisis because you cannot use food stamps online. The fact that food stamps spending has to be in person puts me in the people that worked for me and love me eh higher risk send me home it's a tough position to be in because I have a tiny freezer in the refrigerator, so that means I have to make weekly trips to the store. I feel like every time I step outside doing this pandemic; I am putting my very life have to risk when the answer is to let people use their food stamps online so they can maintain social distancing.
