The nurse, Lauren Leander - blue scrubs, white N95 mask, arms crossed - meets his gaze, all grace and poise and calm. Clad in scrubs and masks, they stood in silence, absorbing the insults of these "patriots." In one image from the afternoon, captured by Arizona Republic photographer Michael Chow, an old, angry, sunburned white man - Arizona Man, let's call him - tauntingly waves an American flag inches from a nurse's face. Having worked the hospital frontlines and seen firsthand the horrors COVID-19 had wrought, a handful of local ICU nurses headed down to the Capitol to stage their own counterprotest. so it's time to PROTEST! We do NOT consent! OPEN Arizona!" the organizer wrote on Facebook, encouraging attendees to drive around the Arizona Capitol and honk their horn. your rights and finances are being destroyed. The so-called Patriot Rally was organized in response to Governor Doug Ducey's stay-at-home order, which shut down bars, gyms, barber shops, and dine-in restaurants due to the spread of COVID-19. It might as well have been 700 years ago, but back in April, before a Minneapolis police officer murdered George Floyd and sparked unprecedented nationwide protests, a different kind of demonstration was held in Arizona.
"The painting had been under lock and key for over 25 years, and now it was all over the world," Santiago said. The post garnered news stories and comments from as far away as Singapore and Australia. (Domingo suffered from multiple sclerosis.) When Sting sent Santiago a photo of him standing with the painting, the effect was overwhelming, she said, but just as incredible was the way the HONY audience responded to her story. Within days, a plan to send the painting from Arizona to England had been set in motion, and Sumner and Santiago had set up a GoFundMe to raise money for the National MS Society. The HONY post, which received more than 250,000 likes on Facebook, caught the attention of Sting's daughter Mickey Sumner. He wanted them to give the painting to Sting. As her father lay dying, he had a last request for his family. She told a story about her father, Domingo, who was a talented artist but only created one painting in his life: a portrait of the musician Sting. COVID-19 meant it wasn't safe to walk around Manhattan looking for subjects, so Stanton sent out a call for submissions. But judging by the occasional scribble of his name that's still found on the back of road signs and garbage cans around town, no one can keep the legend of Penis Man down.īrandon Stanton's Humans of New York project, in which ordinary people share small but meaningful stories about their lives, was affected by the pandemic just like everything else. In speaking to the press, the man seemed to be mentally unbalanced, his political rhetoric no more like Banksy's than his graffiti had been. After an investigation, they arrested a 38-year-old Phoenix man in a heavy-handed raid that also made national news. During the long weekend of the MLK Day holiday, he hit numerous places in Tempe with the tag, including City Hall.
Copycats abounded, making it seem like Penis Man was everywhere at once. Penis Man was called "the watchful, silent hero of Tempe." "We are all Penis Man," someone on Twitter said, wisely. By the new year, the graffiti and whoever was responsible for it had made national news and attained the sort of reverence on social media sites that's usually reserved for Gandhi or Obama. And in addition to what comes out of the oven, sweetDee's has a dynamite beverage menu and a small selection of breakfast and lunch dishes, all of which have a GF substitution available.Just before thousands of people in Arizona began dying from a pandemic disease, it briefly seemed like the biggest problem the state faced could be described with two words: "Penis Man." Crudely scrawled in spray paint, the phrase began showing up mysteriously on public and private buildings in Phoenix and Tempe in late 2019. The lineup changes constantly, so we recommend visiting often to see what owner Danielle O'Day has dreamed up. Not everything in the shop is cleared for the gluten-free crowd, but there are a number of GF goodies to choose from every time we step into sweetDee's light, airy interior, things like fat brownies iced with cappuccino cream cheese frosting, lemon bars topped with perfectly toasted marshmallows, mini doughnuts (glazed and unglazed), several types of cookies, an out-of-this world vanilla Fruity Pebbles cheesecake, and more.
Thankfully, we're living in a golden age of GF baking, and the latest reason to cheer is sweetDee's Bakeshop, a newcomer to Old Town Scottsdale. We still recall with horror the days when gluten-free baked goods were dry, bad-tasting, oddly textured, or a combination of all three.
