The solution to reaching Indigenous farm workers in the U.S. who are unable to fully access novel coronavirus pandemic information due to language barrier issues may start as simply as turning on the radio.  CNN reports that a pair of radio hosts in California have used their show to help educate Indigenous migrants who make up part of the state’s farmworkers about the pandemic. Radio Indígena 94.1 FM hosts Bernardino Almazán and Francisco Didier Ulloa can do this “thanks to their ability to switch between Spanish, Mixteco and other indigenous languages.”

After two Michigan Republican officials from the Wayne County Board of Canvassers claimed they were doxxed and threatened following a meeting regarding the certification of local elections, a Wayne State University vice president and local Muslim state representative found themselves subject to violent attacks online. Board chair Monica Palmer and member William Hartmann falsely alleged that Democratic Rep. Abraham Aiyash and Ned Staebler, a Wayne State vice president, threatened them online, resulting in the two being victim to not only doxxing but online harassment, BridgeDetroit reported. “I was in shock. I didn’t even know what doxxing meant,” Aiyash told BridgeDetroit. Doxxing refers to private information being shared on digital platforms with the intent of harming individuals. Not only was Aiyash’s history of employment shared online, but so was his credit report, Social Security number, and even the type of car he drives. According to the newly elected Yemeni-Muslim official, Palmer’s accusations led to more than 1,000 threatening calls and messages using language like ‘‘You’re gonna pay,’ ‘Muslim pig,’ ‘Terrorist,’ ‘Go back to your country,’ and ‘We’re watching you.’”

The tiny Stingray Nebula unexpectedly appeared in the 1980s is by far the youngest planetary nebula in our sky. But a team of astronomers recently analyzed a more recent image of the nebula, taken in 2016 by Hubble, and found that it has faded significantly and changed shape over the course of just 20 years. If dimming continues at current rates, in 20 or 30 years the Stingray Nebula will be barely perceptible.

Despite their uncanny elements, the black-and-white worlds of Stefan Zsaitsits (previously) deftly encapsulate the ennui and angst of modern life. The meticulously cross-hatched scenes depict solitary figures in states of psychological stress as they wrap their bodies around docks, cry profusely, and find themselves stuck under a thundercloud. Some of the lethargic, anxiety-ridden figures literally are overwhelmed by the atmosphere or shown putting on a happy face. Zsatisits recently compiled 21 illustrations in a collection titled Wherever, which is available for purchase on his site. More

The Chinese artist casts figurative sculptures depicting only the human torso, which are shapely in front and abstractly gathered in back. Inky tableaus of spectral figures, scenes of war, and domestic tasks all evoking ancient Chinese narratives—like Paragons of Feminine Virtue by Ming-dynasty thinker Lv Kun and Qing-dynasty novelist Pu Songling’s Strange Tales from the Chinese Studio—envelop the exterior.  More
