I’ve been enjoying artworking some of my illustrations for greeting cards. Wish I’d gotten into this sooner! Here’s one for anyone having a lockdown birthday. You can find this bad boy (and more cards) at thortful.com/creator/martinascott
Covid-19 be damned, Boise Goathead Festis happening in 2020. However, since we’re in the middle of a pandemic and the number of infections in Idaho have been far greater than we’d like them to be, this beloved, summertime event (now in its third year) is going to look quite a bit different this time around. No giant bicycle parade snaking through downtown Boise, no big gathering in the park to…

Hey. Just want to remind you all. You will be playing a major part in this moment in human history. #socialdistancing is 100% REAL! We are at the tipping point at the moment where lives are at stake both: economic and your own. If you wish for your lives to return to a more normal “state” please be considerate and practice social distancing and self isolation. Why I’m saying this? If you’re “bored” at home and go to Wal-Mart to browse around you are literally going against everything, Hanging out with groups also. You will trigger a “lock down” and cause more stress for yourself and everyone also financially too. The Mormon missionarie’s families who flocked the SLC airport when they were advised to stay in the car,only 2 people go in. Potentially caused a mass outbreak spreading it to different counties faster then if they listen to the guidelines placed. Being careless now has a high potential of getting your:friends, family and neighbors sick, critical condition or dead. Hospitals right now also cannot take a mass influx of patients. Doctors will need to make a choice of treating the Covid-19 patient or the person in critical condition from a car accident. Trust me, also overworked 16 hour shifts are the new “norm”. I work with the high risk the people who will die if they catch this disease. Remember you may recover, they will NOT. You get healthcare workers sick, they cannot treat you or your loved one. Remember that as well. Right now it’s a matter of slowing doen, it’s here and it will stay. We all need to play a part right now. Follow the guidelines placed by your county, or government, CDC/WHO, turn off major cable news networks for info. They’re causing more problems with fear. Wash your hands as advised by the CDC, don’t touch your face, 6ft apart, keep trips short, if you need to work use extra caution, cover your mouth, take your body temp. Look for signs of the disease, if sick, isolate contact your doctor before rushing to the hospital. You may very well have the normal flu, why a flu shot is smart right now. Covid-19 is the REAL deal.w
Social distancing is going to leave me or one of my family members with a murder charge.
We’re losing our darn minds and at each other’s throats because we’re aggravated from being in 24/7. I’m two seconds from tossing the next person who nags or complains out of my bedroom window.
And to think this could (really, likely will) last for the rest of the year. No, somebody absolutely will die.
