During quarantine, everyone has their own ways of coping. I make vegan desserts and deliver them to my friends on an electric scooter.

It’s something I started doing several weeks ago, having lost track of how long it had been since I’d been touched by another human being. There isn’t a concise way to describe the unique flavor of desperation that results from having your social life collapse into a singularity of Zoom dance parties, Facetime dates, and Animal Crossing islands. In a world that is quite literally crumbling under the weight of capitalism and climate change, I can’t help but feel that staring at someone through a webcam is a shitty substitute for physical human intimacy. I know I’m not the only one.
