Paxton Haven, "Virtual Music Festivals and the Re-valuation of 
Connection in a COVID-19 Live Music Marketplace" 
<https://www.flowjournal.org/2020/07/virtual-music-festivals-connection/>
Paxton Haven explores the current trend of virtual music festivals as 
both a continuation of the collective politics of dance cultures, but 
also a new frontier of industry intervention in a live music marketplace 
depleted by COVID-19.


Lily Kunda, "Ben & Jerry's, Black Lives Matter, and the Politics of 
Public Statements" <https://www.flowjournal.org/2020/07/ben-and-jerrys-blm/>
Lily Kunda examines the recent trend of public statements denouncing 
racism. She questions what role corporations have in dismantling white 
supremacy.


Alex Brannan, "'It Could Be About Anything': Middleditch & Schwartz and 
the Viability of Televised Improv Comedy" 
<https://www.flowjournal.org/2020/07/middleditch-and-schwartz/>
Alex Brannan discusses the potential for mainstream long-form improv, 
using the Netflix comedy special Middleditch & Schwartz as a case study.


Brett Siegel, "NFL 2020: Football in the Time of Trump, COVID-19, and 
Mass Protests" 
<https://www.flowjournal.org/2020/07/football-in-the-time-of-trump/>
Brett Siegel examines the NFL’s developing response to the Coronavirus 
and the George Floyd protests as an extension, and in many ways a 
culmination, of Trump era anxieties and tensions.


Eric Forthun, "Locating the Local in Late Night Television" 
<https://www.flowjournal.org/2020/07/local-late-night-television/>
Eric Forthun looks at how local and regional late night talk shows might 
help us re-imagine the cultural function of U.S. late night television.


Ash Kinney d'Harcourt, "'Never Too Late to Live Your Authentic Life': 
Later-In-Life FTM Trans YouTube Narratives" 
<https://www.flowjournal.org/2020/07/never-too-late/>
Ash Kinney d’Harcourt examines the complexities in the later in life 
female-to-male (FTM) transition narratives shared on YouTube. The 
stories of these late bloomers, and trans elders more broadly, are 
significant at a time when trans futures are uncertain.


Andy Fischer Wright, "'You Can Still Do It': Apple Watch Activity 
Notifications During COVID-19" 
<https://www.flowjournal.org/2020/07/apple-watch-notifications/>
What does it mean to receive notifications from your smart watch telling 
you to exercise, especially during a pandemic? Andy Fischer Wright makes 
an argument that his Apple Watch Activity notifications make it clear 
that the company is more interested in the data he produces than his 
well-being.
