COVID-19 has become our reality. We at DH&I would like to acknowledge that we are in no way ignorant of the hardships that others are facing as a result of the pandemic. I—Mackenzie—am rather using this as a tool to plan out my time and to regain some of the efficiency lost from the chaos of my shifting environment. My goal for this page? That it provide through multimedia the kind of stability and structure that I have lost through being uprooted. In simpler terms: release.
Another reason for a COVID-19 Blog, our so-called Panopti-blog? In our experience, looking at the personal thoughts, feelings, and actions of other individuals going through the same situation brings a much-needed reassurance—a much-needed catharsis—to the table.
