About
Part of: Doing Feminism in the Pandemic
Read More
We read too much, or not enough; we study graphs and watch numbers. We scale shift between government missives, reportage on the ground, the word of experts, and our colleagues, friends, and solidarians who see things that shape our view of the pandemic, of its devastating effects and potential paths forward. Libraries make materials Open Access; COVID material is made available from behind the paywalls of major newspapers. We puzzle through scientific articles we mostly don’t have the literacy for. We read each others’ recommendations. We read in fragments; we follow threads; we spend hours; or we stop reading altogether. We read novels and poems; we follow tweet threads for longer than we’d expected. We read the weather report like a suspense novel. Our genres are scrambled, our expectations uneven. And if only we could put our finger on that scrap of words we read the other day, but can’t figure out where. We do artful Google searches; we upset algorithms. We glean, we scan, we hold close and push away.
