Love in the time of Coronavirus – a new type of blog
These are unprecedented times. Inspired by a tweet by Liz LeClair, as below, I decided that each day I’m #Workingfromhome and otherwise saving on travel, I should make a donation to a charity that is important to me, and log my reason for doing so.
This is a great idea. I will do the same. https://t.co/ypemnhScIx
