Sure, true love is cool, but Bwog can offer you something better: fresh Bwoglines every morning!

Happening in the World: Since Li Wenliang’s death a week ago, five more health workers have died from Coronavirus, and 1,700 health workers are currently infected. The first death from the virus in Japan has also been reported, one of only three deaths outside of mainland China. (NBC)

Happening in the US: Yesterday, the Trump Administration told Congress it would be diverting $3.8 billion from the Defense Department’s budget to build the border wall, which is more “necessary in the national interest” according to a notice given to Congress but is a move that has been criticized by both parties. (NPR)

Happening in NYC: The New York Times found the nicest public bathroom in the city, and it’s in Greeley Square Park! This bathroom makeover has been in the works since it was built in 1999, and is one of the many public bathrooms going through renovation to better suit the needs of commuters. (NYT)

Happening on Campus: Tonight, the Lenfest Center for the Arts will be screening Boys Don’t Cry, the first mainstream film to focus on a trans man, and it will be followed by a panel discussion featuring the movie’s creative team. Registration for the event (starting at 6:30 pm) has closed, but the standby line will start in the Lenfest Center Lobby at 5:30 pm.

Poem: Enjoy this gorgeous love poem by Paige Lewis! They have a newish book Space Struck out and are a curator for Ours Poetica, a project on Youtube that you should check out if you like having poems read to you. They also happen to be married to Kaveh Akbar, who is also an extremely cool poet and the subject of this poem.
