Like everyone else, we were stuck inside a lot this year, and with streaming further blurring the lines between theatrical movies and television features, I’ve expanded the list to include visual storytelling that I’ve enjoyed this year, regardless of format.

US high schools make you read “To Kill a Mockingbird” and are like “that’s enough learning about racism”😌

Jimmy just asked me to cut his hair. I told him I need a day to prepare emotionally.

I can’t believe this is so hard for people to grasp: yes, the current death toll for covid19 is roughly = to seasonal flu season. that’s not good. because covid reached the flu’s 6 month total in ONE MONTH... WHILE THE COUNTRY WAS IN LOCKDOWN. you get that, right?

How Big Is The Contact Tracing Workforce In U.S.? We’re far from having the resources necessary for things to go back to normal. https://t.co/VElEm7aMom

Essential workers deserve raises! I hope that after this is all over we still see them and appreciate the hard and important work they do. https://t.co/LltFQBU2hT

Every day is #EarthDay.
The changes needed to safeguard future living conditions for all species won’t come from governments or businesses.
It will come from the best available science and public opinion.
So it’s up to us.
Spread the science.

The Coronavirus model projections have changed as time has passed. Not surprisingly, this has emboldened the anti-science movement in America. But, this is actually a great opportunity to watch science happen in real-time, and there are some important lessons: (Thread)

Healthcare workers and essential workers are dying on the frontlines of the fight against this pandemic. And this is how they are treated. I can’t imagine the level of bravery and strength this took from these nurses. #ThankYouHealthWorkers #HealthcareHeroes

[MarcZenn @MarcZenn]

Two nurses, who have witnessed first hand the toll Covid is taking in Colorado, stood up and peacefully counter protested. Here is how they were treated. I had join them.

President Trump says U.S. is pulling funding to WHO because the group praised China's "transparency."

Below is President Trump's tweet from January 24 praising China's transparency.

“If Americans are forced to choose between voting this November or staying safe from the virus, then democracy as we know it will be lost.” This is so important!! And honestly most of these measures should have already been in place years ago. https://t.co/uxF1AAsE89

We need to continue to listen to the experts. This lockdown is hurting everyone, but it is necessary to stop this virus from killing tens of thousands more people.

My classmates and I are putting together COVID-19 updates from across the state of NC. Interesting to see what is happening in different towns and cities. These two are from Wake county and Holly Springs.

[Ruth @RuthDahl11]

A perfectly reasonable and legitimate question. This is not what we need right now.

In an extraordinary exchange, President Trump viciously attacked an NBC News reporter who asked what his message would be to Americans who are frightened by the coronavirus pandemic that is spreading across the country https://t.co/lhey5g9lP1

The rest of this semester has become challenging and disappointing for many college students. But think about the greater cause. If I have to give up the rest of senior year to help keep people healthy and flatten the curve, that’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make.
