Under normal circumstances, a hand mask might feel like a froufrou extravagance, but as we know, self care has become the horse and chariot carrying us sedately through weeks of lockdown.

As a person of colour, the death of George Floyd (and so many others) at the hands of a white police officer doesn’t come as much of a surprise.
