In the April 2020 edition of Realia, the Hot Rod Librarian uses their characteristic sarcasm to express their opinions about the COVID-19 pandemic. She begins with a letter to the reader, in which she notes that the pandemic has highlighted who the most crucial pillars of society are: healthcare and child care workers, teachers, and farmers. HotRod writes about some of her own quarantine experiences, such as going back to work for the first time and struggling with her mental health. The zine also includes instructions on how to knit a pussy hat, a list of things that make her happy, a section "in defense of naps," and a humorous parody of instructions on how to roast chestnuts. --Alekhya
