Commons, en.wikipedia. incubator.nys, editing about the pandemic, photographing the effects on it Western Australia, including checkpoints, and closed places from parks to shops. Also have been uploading photographs from a digitization project that digitized a private collection of slides taken over the last 60 years
My photographs are from a dance party we held in Portland to honor our dear friend Kelly Peach, who died recently. My friend Rev. Phil Sano (in the yellow shirt) organized this party in an empty movie theater parking lot, where we could dance with plenty of space (between those who do not live together), to observe social distancing guidelines. It's important to keep up our connections in a time like this, as difficult as it can be. Thank you Phil for pulling this together.
These days, I am mostly editing English Wikisource, Wikipedia and Wikidata. I am working on News on Wiki, an effort to improve wiki coverage of news outlets, and transcribing old books on Oregon history.
Hello, Wikimedians! I hope all my friends and colleagues on the wiki are staying healthy and keeping your spirits up. These are difficult times. Our efforts on wiki are as important as ever, with so much confusion and misinformation in the world. -Pete Forsyth (talk) 22:15, 15 May 2020 (UTC)reply

A sunny morning when three pine trees in Nevada City, California, USA were practicing social distancing. (15 May 2020)
Mostly, I create articles on Wikipedia about women writers and sometimes, other women's biographies, in support of WikiProject Women in Red. I'm also plodding along with my "Women Writers in Review" project on Wikidata.
Looking forward to a time when we can get together again.
I edit mostly women's biographies with WikiProject Women in Red. Last night I started an article on a Polish violinist, en:Eugenia Argiewicz (1887-1969).
Hello! I contributed a photo of some chalk art we've done in front of our house, to entertain ourselves and passersby. People still have to walk dogs, so we have a steady audience.
Two producers! A new article on Suzi Dietz (theater) and a discography for (music producer) Mike Elizondo. Which is the kind of thing I'm usually editing on Wikipedia.
