procrastination begone...

PASSING THOUGHT: Glad I stomped out my rising 'begin-the-weekend-with-procrastination' attitude = struggling to keep to 'early-shopping-is-covid-safer' goal...Supermarket shopping very very early today...And now, 11:00am...It's colder, more windy+misty and rainy...But I'm warm... pic.twitter.com/45umeMJ6nu

some sad sounds of the lockdown universe...

Last year, in the lead up to her birthday my niece apparently asked one of her dolls to come to her party, and then acted out the doll saying "I can't, I have to say home. everyone has to stay home"

look and think again...

A face that resonates with the beauty of wisdom and kindness...reaching for understanding and appreciation...
Never have some old lifestyle patterns seemed so fragile, so fractured...Never have some old cultural ways been so appealing...Lockdown is a wakeup call... https://t.co/h3ecEEtH7K

I woke up in a bed of clothes...

'I woke up in a bed of clothes and my pj's were made of plants. I sat on a rug of cats...'
Yes...A little fantasy is the new healthy reality...No need for vitamins from Chemist Warehouse...Just taste+drink in the possibilities of repurposing lockdown as a freedom...Bring it on... https://t.co/ib6RvT1Rp9

corridors of power...

PASSING THOUGHT: In lockdown, more and more I'm aware of a dark disease lurking around corridors of power. That disease is not unique to politics, but includes businesses+even education. Power holders cultivate entitlement+develop patronising, self-righteous traits. Empathy lost. pic.twitter.com/fpVj5a6X4p

Vic lockdown 4.0: How many Delta cases?
Vic lockdown 5.0: How many wild cases?

Predictions:

Vic lockdown 6.0: how many unvaccinated cases
Vic lockdown 7.0: how many hospitalised cases

You forgot the classic 'linked?' for lockdown 4.0.

— Bronte Dealy (@bronte_dealy) July 21, 2021

Moving goalposts. Don’t forget ‘exposure sites’ popped up in 4.0 too.
