Ernestine Under Quarantine, Week 3! Update/Chat.
Added 2020-04-08 17:00:00 +0000 UTCHello friends!
The view from Berlin! (Sorry, quite long, SO much to tell you!!)
I discuss:
-What's up with me in my head
-What's up in Berlin
-I muse on my extraordinary luck having landed in seemingly one of two countries in the world dealing with the pandemic in a sensible way (South Korea would have been a less ideal fit, I posit)
-If you haven't watched last week's Per Lombardia yet, go do it, because it's one of the best things I've ever made
-The peril of being a pedestrian amongst Germany bicyclists
-Hopeful signs in the data and the government using science and tech to start restoring normalcy
-Giant developments in my internal geography and some trauma reprocessing (what happens when one spends a great deal of time with oneself)
-The GREAT MARVELOUS WONDERFUL new subscribers on YouTube and Patreon! My heroes!!!
-The ethics of sex work amidst a pandemic: a vivid debate; and its necessity, in my case, until I earn more patrons or the government ponies up
-Need we say again, the extreme risk of this situation to marginalized communities, including sex workers and immigrants
-An overview of this week's special "patron-only" treat! I play with the intersection of pointe and Middle Eastern dance
-The update on dancing at this level without access to physical therapy
And, as per usual:
Hang in there! It gets better!
To all my supporters, a very, VERY big thank you; I hope these videos are helping you pass the time and keeping body and soul attached in these uncertain times.
Very fondly,
Ernestine
