Hello everyone! I am thinking about everyone home practicing social distancing, many of whom are now out of work and out of upcoming income sources for the forseeable future. I am compiling a collection of free arts/culture/education/health/wellness resources that I will list below so folks can access some fun, nourishing, and educatonal experiences while we're all home alone. Please feel free to add to the list, and I will continue to curate it.
