WSU student makes over 500 masks to help fight coronavirus Makenzie Hoeferlin May 4, 2020 Wright State University (WSU) student, Christine Moser, is helping in the fight against coronavirus by making and shipping masks all over the United States. Making and shipping masks “I’ve been sewing for two and a half weeks now,” said Moser. “And I’ve probably averaged four or five hours sewing a day.” With the help of her mom and her Etsy account, Moser has now made over 500 masks and shipped them to 31 different states. Etsy is an online shop that focuses on homemade, vintage and craft supplies. “I update my Etsy in the evenings, so I’ll sew all day, or however long I’m going to sew, and then I’ll update my inventory on Etsy,” said Moser. “I’ll have them sell-out throughout the night or in the morning.” Getting started When the pandemic first began, Moser’s brother enlisted her help. His girlfriend works for an eye doctor and needed a mask, but the hospitals were already starting to collect masks from people at a lower risk. This left her without a mask for her job. Moser made the first mask for her brother’s girlfriend but then realized she should have been making them all along. “I was like ‘oh my gosh, why haven’t I been making masks?’ I have all this fabric, the sewing equipment, the thread and elastics,” siad Moser. “My brother started it because his girlfriend needed masks and then I just kept going because why not.” Crafting and sewing are not new to Moser. This is something she learned from an early age. “I’ve always knitted. Knitting was my big thing,” said Moser. “When I was younger, my mom taught me and from there it’s kind of branched out. It started with knitting but now I’m doing a lot of sewing.” ‘Because I can’ Once the idea of making and selling masks was planted, Moser knew it was something she needed to do. “The main reason [I make the masks] is because I can,” said Moser. “I’ve had a lot of people comment, ‘Thank you so much because I don’t even own a sewing machine. There is no way I could have made these.’” According to Moser, she gets a lot of nice reviews on Etsy. Her customers thank her for the fast turn around and for providing a quality product. There are a lot more masks on Etsy now, but Moser was one of the only ones selling them in the beginning. “Price gouging is insane on these masks,” said Moser. “They have them for up to $26 on Etsy for a mask, and I’m just like, ‘how can you sell a mask of that price and feel good about yourself.’ Mine are four dollars so they’re really reasonable.” Moser really enjoys making the masks and is glad she is able to help. “Because I can, I feel like I should help out, and I love helping out like this,” said Moser. “I’m not really doing anything else right now. I don’t have a job. I’m just doing schoolwork and so I might as well.” Finding a passion Moser started at WSU aiming for an engineering degree, but after successfully making and selling masks, she is considering other options. “Everybody asks me all the time why I’m not in business if I already have my own little business on Etsy,” said Moser. Making and selling products on Etsy is something that Moser loves to do and she hopes to continue her passion as a career. According to Moser, she will continue to make and sell masks as long as the orders come in. From the Frontlines: The National Guard Natalie Cunningham May 4, 2020 Some Wright State University students who also serve in the National Guard have been activated to help their communities during this trying time. What activation consists of “When I was informed that my unit was requesting volunteers to help at the food bank, I was excited to know that I would be aiding my community,” said Jeremy Massie, a Wright State student and active National Guard member as a specialist (E4). “The National Guard is helping across the state, and I am lucky enough to be working in my own city,” The National Guard has been working at food banks, packaging and distributing food, taking on medical missions, prison missions, and personal protection equipment transport missions, according to Lt. Kevin Livingston, public affairs officer for Task Force 37. “We’re proud to see our soldiers volunteering. It’s very important to remember that we didn’t compel these folks to come in on orders,” said Livingston. “We sent out the call and said ‘hey, we’ve been asked to do this mission, is there anyone out there who wants to come on and help us out?’ said Livingston, “So it really speaks to the character of these guys and gals that they’re willing to sideline their own responsibilities, their own classwork and their time with their families in order to serve the public.” How activation has affected being a student The National Guard is working hard to accommodate and be flexible with students who are also serving in the National Guard. They’re trying to help students maintain their academics while also serving by offering flexible workdays to students who have assignments and tests due on typical workdays, according to Livingston. “They’re out here serving their friends and neighbors and the communities they call home. Most of them are driving within 25 minutes of their homes to do these missions, whether it’s the food bank mission or one of the medical missions or prison missions or the PPE transport missions,” said Livingston. “It’s great that we have them and we look forward to having them serve with us as long as these orders last.” Ivan Mallett, a Wright State student who is also currently an active member of the National Guard, said that serving hasn’t affected his schoolwork. “The National Guard has been activated to package and distribute food to the most vulnerable members of our community,” said Mallett. Erik Austin, another WSU student currently serving as a member of the National Guard as a cadet, also feels his classes haven’t been negatively impacted since they’re all online during this time.

  • We Love America, and We Hate Trump: a Cultural Studies Analysis of Eminem in Trump's America by Samantha Wesch
    We Love America, and We Hate Trump: A Cultural Studies Analysis of Eminem in Trump’s America By Samantha Wesch A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Gender and Social Justice Studies Department of Women’s and Gender Studies University of Alberta © Samantha Wesch, 2020 Abstract In early October 2017, Marshall Mathers, better know by his stage name Eminem, received enormous attention for his freestyle rap music video The Storm, which premiered at the BET Music Awards. The Storm, both lyrically and visually, is an attack on current US President Donald Trump, and functions as Eminem’s public call-out for Trump’s racism, xenophobia and general ‘un-American-ness.’ Themes of race, class, masculinity, nostalgia and nationalism are conveyed through an entirely young and black male chorus, vintage cars and 90s hip hop fashion. During the rap, Mathers explicitly marks himself a supporter of the Black Lives Matter movement and ally (even saviour) of Black American men, undermines the President’s authority through attacks on his masculinity, expresses his support for the American military, industry and working-class, and presents himself as both an artistic and political authority on these issues. Most significantly, he diametrically opposes himself and Trump, framing himself as a self-made, politically-aware, post-race member of the working class against Trump as a silver-spoon racist with no ‘real’ experiences of hardship required for the development of a true ‘American man.’ The Storm utilizes concepts of race, class, masculinity and Americanness to portray particular ideas to its audience about the current political climate in America.
