Talk about about what it's like to use social media during this pandemic.
I have used social media alot during the pandemic for my art practice. I am a visual designer/art director by profession but also a practicing studio artist. I have used Instagram for the daily sketches I have been posting that are part of the Virus Series I have been doing. Now that I have been doign it for 200+ days I feel like I have a responsibility to others to continue this practice until this pandemic is over and we go back to a more normal state of being.

Talk about how the pandemic has affected your closest relationships.
I didn't realize how much my relationships had been affected till I got a chance to have a very carefully-distanced conversation with friends. I showed up at their building to give some books, and because their office window overlooks the entrance to the building, after we carefully exchanged goods they sat in the window and I stood by the front door and we talked for nearly an hour. Even though we were so far apart, it felt amazing to hear their actual voices unmediated by a computer. It's helpful to remember that we're all still human beings, with bodies, and being in embodied presence with each other is important.
