Even in the worst of times we may benefit from and even need to keep encouraging joy, relaxation, and sweet laziness to grow and linger. How can you bring more ease to your week?

Throughout the pandemic, I have posted messages on my Facebook wall that I needed to hear myself or that I imagined others may be needing to hear. Again and again, these messages spurred collective online processing of a range of challenges and lows and bright spots of living through the pandemic. This series of cartoons is intended to reflect on and illustrate some of the process of dealing with life by leaning into the intersection of technology and community. |

Comments read: "I've worked 60 hours a week for the last two years, I have to remind myself what a blessing this is," and "I'm still in bed. Wish someone would bring me food..." Anna replies: Calling xxx? xxx? xxx? (Worth a try! Love you, xxx." To which they then reply: "Ha! Thanks." They posted a photo of themselves with a cat. Anna replies again with a Bitmjoi that says: "I GOTCHU."]
