“Jess originally wanted to submit something more serious or “artsy,” but Andy “accidentally” took this photo while telling her to chill. It’s not what we originally intended, but in its own way, it’s perfect. Today is our 2-year anniversary in a long-distance relationship, and we’re very lucky to be able to weather this quarantine together.”
Izzy / she / 26 / Boston, MA
“I’m queer right here, well, everywhere, really. I am resourceful and helpless. Protected and vulnerable. I’m in the middle of everything.
P.S. I’d hoped the picture I submitted would be with my neighborhood turkey that I’ve enjoyed searching for on my daily walk…”

“My partner and I have been going on walks every day to stay sane. We’ve been making up goofy workouts and silly games to keep things interesting! ”

“In addition to the global crisis, I’m going through many personal transitions. I’m terrible at resting but am learning to practice and celebrate it. So here I am, hanging out in my bed!”
Laura / she / 30 / Budapest, Hungary
“I took some photos in pandemic drag, to deal with the situation: from eating bread all day and growing increasingly hairier, to feeling like I’m fading away due to lack of human contact. Everything sucks but I still love stupid word jokes.”

“After a long day of Zoom meetings from home.”

“Living through the pandemic has sucked the energy out of us trying to constantly stay positive, motivated, and productive. Mid-day naps have definitely been a moment to take a break and re-connect with our bodies, minds, ourselves, and as a little family.”
Kaitlin and Abbey / she, she / 33, 31 / Brooklyn, NY
“QUEER RIGHT HERE on our couch in Brooklyn, NY. Following the gay at home orders, as queerly as we can, from the epicenter.”
