Hello, Tuesday! Chelsea here.
Good morning, fam. It is the last day of March, which has felt like an absolute eternity. I don't know what the future holds, but I'm ready to face April and anything it may throw our way. If you're wondering where I got this dose of strength, I can tell you. It's from Dr. Amy Acton. I know you all are probably sick of me shouting about how fantastic she is, but honestly, she's an inspiration. Yesterday was National Doctor Day and the Governor's office put out a very special video honoring Dr. Acton by showcasing the people she is inspiring most: young girls. This video literally brought me to tears, but they were tears of absolute joy. It's the perfect way to start your day, I promise.

I freaking love Gallery Hop in the Short North, so you can imagine my excitement when I found out that it won't be cancelled. In addition to checking out galleries and shops virtually, there will also be a car parade down High Street that you can stream at home! Looks like we found our weekend plans y'all.

If you're a parent you've probably recently had the fun experience of all of a sudden having to semi-homeschool your child or children, all on short notice and in the midst of pandemic stress. Probably nothing is going to flip that all the way from "hard" to "easy" but PBS recognizes the challenge in front of you and has changed their programming to emphasize home learning. Hit the link below for more info, and remember that you can get WOSU over the air with a (relatively) cheap antenna.

Help Is Available 🍽
Everyone is experiencing all of this differently, but even people who are doing ok know people who have been laid off or are struggling. Just by the sheer scale of layoffs, it's probable many people will be unfamiliar with what to do beyond filing for unemployment (a process that
Based on my own observations and other people I've talked to, Ohio's unemployment application system has been pretty much non-functioning for days. Messages people can't open, claims listed as paid that don't show up in bank accounts. No way to talk to someone on the phone.

), but there's help beyond the financial. This interview with Mid-Ohio Food Bank's president goes into what they are doing and the huge increase in the numbers of people served.

Best Transplant 📚
One of my favorite things to happen in 2019 was Saeed Jones moving to Columbus (if this sounds weird, well,
if you haven't and you'll understand) and so I have to 100% agree with this fun Alive article that was part of their "Best of Columbus" series.
