another #NorthCarolina group looking to make public events safer through COVID activism!

queer the air collective is a QTBIPOC mutual aid group based out of "durham, NC" 😷 🌈

besides their work on COVID education on centralized social media...

they opened up a lending library, where they loan an air purifier (currently one so far) for free to community events in the triangle. they have a fundraiser, where they hope to buy more air purifiers to lend out to more events & happenings to make public spaces safer for all!

Killer show tonight at Duke Coffeehouse in #Durham, NC. Westerlund / Hagen duo and Magic Tuber String Bad. So incredible.

Spotted in the crowd: Phil Cook, Brad Cook, Jamie (Mind over Mirrors), and Nathan Bowles.

Joe Westerlund playing drums, in a darkly lit coffeeshop. Hagen is playing a mic’d up trumpet without a mouthpiece.

12 string guitar, fiddle player, and banjo player. They are playing music that sounds like an old-time jam on LSD.

On the cusp of spring, Brasside Pond, such a gorgeous spot that's all but hidden behind HMP Frankland near Durham in North East England. A Site of Special Scientific Interest, it's the largest expanse of unpolluted open water (apart from reservoirs) in County Durham and is regarded as the most important breeding site for wildfowl in the county.

I'm pretty sure this could well have been a location for a scene in the Harry Potter film series! This is the impressive lectern in St Cuthbert's Chapel at Ushaw Historic House & Gardens near Durham, in North East England. If you've never visited, it's definitely a location to add to your 'to do list'!
The former Catholic seminary was founded in 1808 by scholars from the English College, Douai, who fled France after the French Revolution.

I read a long (for them) article in the Triangle Business Journal yesterday, about the ongoing struggles of downtown #Durham retail and restaurant owners, who still haven’t seen their weekday business bounce back now that the acute lockdown phase of the pandemic has passed out of the memories of the vast majority of people (apparently).

The business owners pointed primarily at work-from-home, which is interesting because the two biggest employers in downtown Durham are the city and the county. (the city, at least, is still doing work-from-home where it makes sense — but it’s interesting to think about what % of city employees are sufficiently non-citizen-facing that it’s even a viable option . . . )

But what went entirely unaddressed is the growth in downtown (and immediately downtown-adjacent) housing over the past five years. Thousands of additional apartments.

If all those folks are working from home, are they not going out to lunch?

Is it all students, and student-parent pieds-a-terre? It’s weird. I spent several years working from home and I gave a lot of business to Alimentari, and Toast, and Pie Pushers, and Parker & Otis.

I guess “weekday lunch out” is a weak attractor, weaker than “whatever is in the fridge”?
