Dealing with Stress
By Antoinette Durand
These times are stressful for everyone around the world. Sometimes, I feel like the world is ending and I'm being crushed under the rubble. It's important to maintain a sense of happiness. It's important to feel sad at times, but a complete overwhelming sense of doom- how I frequently feel- isn't healthy.
1. Blast classical music.
Even if Mozart and Vivaldi aren't in your playlist, give them a shot. It's calming to me that even though humans have messed a bunch of stuff up, we're also capable of masterpieces.
2. Bake classic things.
Things like macrons and madelienes are tricky to pull off because of the egg white base. They fall easily and are very tricky to deal with, but things like scones and biscuits make me feel so relaxed because I know that they will turn out.
3. Draw anything.
Whether you use a coloring book or you sketch freehand, drawing really is, in my opinion, the best way to relax. You can express yourself with color. You can do anything with art, defy physics, nature, your problems, anything. Draw yourself, a flower, a scene of night, a forest, the moon. Anything.
Book Review:A Wrinkle in Time
The Yellow Wallpaper
By Charlotte Perkins Gillman
I lie down ever so much now. John says it is good for me, and to sleep all I can.
Indeed, he started the habit by making me lie down for an hour after each meal.
It is a very bad habit, I am convinced, for, you see, I don’t sleep.
And that cultivates deceit, for I don’t tell them I’m awake,—oh, no!
The fact is, I am getting a little afraid of John.
He seems very queer sometimes, and even Jennie has an inexplicable look.
It strikes me occasionally, just as a scientific hypothesis, that perhaps it is the paper!
I have watched John when he did not know I was looking, and come into the room suddenly on the most innocent excuses, and I’ve caught him several times looking at the paper! And Jennie too. I caught Jennie with her hand on it once.
She didn’t know I was in the room, and when I asked her in a quiet, a very quiet voice, with the most restrained manner possible, what she was doing with the paper she turned around as if she had been caught stealing, and looked quite angry—asked me why I should frighten her so!
Then she said that the paper stained everything it touched, that she had found yellow smooches on all my clothes and John’s, and she wished we would be more careful!
Did not that sound innocent? But I know she was studying that pattern, and I am determined that nobody shall find it out but myself!
Protest Update
By Antoinette Durand
Human's Tribune has reported before on the death of George Floyd but not like this. In Paris, France, thousands gather to protest police brutality. In 2016, Adama Traore, a young black man, was killed. His sister, Assa Traore said, “Why did my brother die? Why was my brother pinned down? My brother died the same way George Floyd did." The protests against police brutality and George Floyd's death really have spread worldwide.
